Around the world and back again

Grey skies have never looked so pretty... I am HOME!

I just got back from taking Hank for a jog, he has gotten so big! When dad brought him back home from the kennel I saw him in the kitchen and almost teared up! He is still SUCH a puppy (and I love that) I'm trying to spend a lot of time with him so he won't completely forget me when I leave again on Saturday :(

We landed in Seatac yesterday and walked off the airplane and I noticed.. ENGLISH. It has never been more of a comfort than to see it on signs and being spoken by all. So nice. We got home and it smelled like all I have missed. Light fixtures seemed weird, my own shower was AMAZING, I SLEPT IN MY OWN BED-- even though jet-lag has us all pretty mixed up. (I woke up at 3:30am and couldn't fall back asleep until 5... blahhhh) but all in all, it has never felt better to just be doing nothing.

Things I am looking forward to:

-going to the grocery store

-being in a car

-driving

-HD TV

-seeing JACKIE AND HIL :) :) ♥

-cooking, baking, being in a KITCHEN!

-Starbucks... whenever I want it!

-the rest of my wardrobe!!!

-SCHOOL!!!!
