Home for the weekend :)

This weekend was an absolutely great one! My birthday is this Wednesday (November 14th!) so I decided to go home to celebrate with my family. And, it was great to just get home for a little. My dad picked me up around noon on Friday thanks to Jamie for giving us the day off! So I was very grateful to be able to get a few extra hours in with the family. I don't think I was at my house for more than fifteen minutes before my dad and I headed to Woodfiled Mall for some birthday shopping! My mom met up with us after work and we had a great time...well, mostly I had a great time :) When we got home I baked some gingerbread cookies for all of us. That night we had dinner and watched some tivo'ed shows I just didn't have time to watch at school. And of course, I got to open my presents! My parents were just great to me. Then on Saturday I pretty much just layed around the house, which is awesome every once in a while. And, I listened to my dad yell from the family room as he watched Purdue lose to Michigan State...devestating really. That night I went out to a birthday dinner with my mom, dad, and grandparents. It was great! I love being able to spend time with my grandparents especially because I really don't get to see them that often. They are hilarious! We had cake after and I just hung around the house for the rest of the night! All in all I had an awesome weekend and I'm excited to get to see my family so soon again for Thanksgiving!
