There's No Place Like Home


It's true. I love every moment of being home and just have so much to be thankful for...

Highlights of this trip so far include:

- Mom's popcorn and a movie each night (popcorn from mom is only made by Farrah and I approaching her with our most pitiful faces possible and whining, "Moooooom, will you make us some popcorn? It's better when you make it.")
- pajama pants, a t-shirt, and messy ponytail have been my daily attire
- reading mindless fiction in our giant recliners
- playing HORSE with Dad and Lor in our driveway (sadly, i lost every game...boo!)
- all the amazing food including luscious layered dessert, my favorite Thanksgiving mashed potatoes, and gimmie cookies (the scale may disagree with this one)
- chasing Farrah around the kitchen as we laughed and pretended to be fighting...Mom even called Dad to "get them out of here." hee hee.
- a flashback to the movie Flashdance with a certain family member's attire due to the airlines losing luggage...enough said
- walks on the quiet country roads talking about heart matters with The Far
- an evening of laughter with all of our extended family
- being with my family as we anxiously await the next update from Jeremy and Sus who are having their baby in the next 24-48 hours (read their live updates here.)
- many more to come...time with the family awaits....here are some pictures so far...

Is it just me or does our 19-year old cat, Spooky, remind you of the cat from Sweet Home Alabama
