home in that evergreen state..

So I am home! Although it was quite the adventure, I did in fact make it, safe and sound. My flight was a disaster, delay after delay, ended up switching flights all together and then experienced the worst and most terrifying turbulence of my life! honestly, like "crying-on-the-airplane-in-public" bad. hmmm... so once I was safely ON the ground, I began to get excited for the time I had ahead of me :) Wednesday was mostly prepping for our large-ish dinner the next day (14 of us in all) Meg and I got lunch, went to Barnes&Noble (which was a mistake I'll talk about later) and sat around, helping cook etc. I got to take an extra-long bath, eat out of a refrigerator, and snuggle with my (now scarily close to the same height) little brother. We went to the newly renovated club for dinner and then Meg and I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I fell asleep half way through due to the fact that I didn't get into Seatac until 1145pm. neat.
Thanksgiving Day was really nice, we mostly sat around and dreamt about the amazing amounts of food we were about to consume. Dad and I went for a run around the lake, my lungs were about to die from the cold air that I am SO not used to. A pathetic excuse for a born and bred washingtonian, I know. Everyone came over around 4pm, we played scrabble, ate too much baked brie and watched The Family Stone and that other funny movie... National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...?? Yes. Hilarious, always a favorite. Dinner came, then dessert. Mom did an amazing job on our table scape, candles, yellow and orange roses and all. Very pretty. Everything was delicious and I definitely did NOT have room for dessert but somehow ate it amyways..???? ummhmmm.... that's what thanksgiving's all about, right?
Oh, the mistake at Barnes&Noble.... well its pretty simple. I bought Twilight. Yep, bought it, told myself I wouldn't start at school because I wouldn't get my work done and GOOD THING I DIDN"T. That book has been atached to my hip ever since I got home and took a bath. I basically want to be the main character (Bella) or more importantly have Edward Cullen as my boyfriend. Oh my goodness. I'm embarrassingly obsessed and actually have a problem. 276 pages deep and its day two. I would be done if I hade more time to just sit and read it but I'm focusing on the, need to hang out with people part, not the part where while I'm spending time with people I'm thinking about whether Edward is going to tell Bella who he really is. Problem.
Meg is calling me to play scrabble. More later!
happyyyy holliidayyysssss ♥
