Family Weekend

Yes!! Family weekend happened, I haven't seen my family in so long, well 6 weeks but it feels like forever. My mom grandma and step dad came down to see me. During Family weekend we went to the football game, (in the rain), it was good the football boys finally won a game!! My parents got here and I showed them my room and then we went down town and got them a hotle room at the Durango Lodge where Jessica works. Once they got all of their things in we went and ate dinner at the Ore House, it was so good to eat something besides the CUB. We had a good dinner got to talk and catch up on things, oh and Stephanie went to, we kinda do everything together. After dinner we went to the volleyball game against Metro State, It was the best game I have seen all year. It was nice just doing something as a family. After the game we went shopping down at Wal Mart and got me everything I will need until the next time I see my family, because the reality of it is I am a broke college student with no job. Once we finished that my parents went to their room and went to bed. The next morning we all went to breakfast and then had to say our goodbyes. Goodbyes are hard but they help remind me that I am growing up and distance fromm my family is a good thing, even though I miss them.

Ya family weekend was very nice. I agree once your away from your parents... and then see them again there is a wierd, but comforting feeling.

To see family after a long time or just a few months is one of the best feelings in the world. I've lived apart from my dad and brother for a lot of my life, and everytime I get to see them I am ecstatic. I feel happy instantly when I see them. : )
My mom is coming up here next weekend with her friend just for a day trip, I can't wait. Of course, it will be nice to get some stuff from Wal-Mart too.
