Back home for a month.

I am home! Safe and sound.
My last night up in Oregon was a blast, I am actually glad that me and my roommates had one last night to hang out together. I am loving being home, I drove home with a friend from the dorms from last year. I missed hanging out with him. Listening to Nsync Christmas carols with him on the ride home and talking about Harry Potter and our power animals really made the trip go a lot faster.
Before I went allll the way home I went to my brother and wife's house to crash a wonderfully delightful gathering of some of my favorite girls around. My sister and sister-in-law had a cookie and book exchange that went off smashing-ly. Each person brought their favorite book, and a batch of delicious cookies to share. The book exchange was so fun! It was white elephant, and I got the book I wanted stolen from me at LEAST ten times. BUT I did leave with a huge plate of cookies so I'm not really complaining.  WE decorated our Christmas tree tonight. Pictures to come. I love my family so much, they make me laugh, cry, and want to yell. I am home for less than five hours and me and my sister have already been in at least ten fights. I love it. I missed it.
