home (we'll try this post again.)

A few weeks ago, you'll remember I was so excited to be going home. My trip home was A-MAZING and I felt so rejuvenated when I got back... like I could actually do this whole grad school "thing." While I was home I got to go back to Cbus to see some of my beautiful friends. It was incredibly hard (read: I had a meltdown) when I had to leave them. But I guess it does feel good to know that Columbus can still function without me. :)

I also got to spend some much needed time with my family and my friends from Carlisle. It was homecoming in Carlisle so I got to see some of my friends from high school while also being able to see my brother play football. He also had the homecoming dance so he had to get all dressed up and take a zillion pictures. He loved every minute of it.

Then on Sunday morning my entire family (on my mom's side) got together for a morning brunch. It was the greatest time. We all ate way too much, talked and laughed loudly, and genuinely enjoyed one another's company. I love it when we can all get together. While some people look at seeing their family as a chore, I'm happy to report that I am the complete opposite. I totally look forward to it.

Here are a few pics from the weekend:
Dad, Seth, Mom, and I.


Mom getting ready to give Seth a kiss on the cheek. If only the picture had been taken .1 seconds later! ugh.
