Okay, we lost, but...

I had a thoroughly fabulous break.

I spent time with the parents.
... shopped with Eureka.
... New Moon-ed with old friends. And gossiped. And gossiped. And gossiped.
... picked up my second bridesmaid's dress.
... reunited with old friends at a bar in my hometown.
... gave thanks with my family... gave thanks with Ev's family.
... drove to Auburn late at night and dished with my girlfriends about boyfriends, new and old.
... bar-hopped with the very best friends a girl could ask for.
... may or may not have witnessed the beginning of a beautiful friendship... or two.
... watched an incredible Auburn football team play with heart and pride.
... was a very, very proud almost-Auburn-alum.
... spent much-needed time in the town I love so dearly.
... ate lunch at my all-time favorite Auburn eatery: Big Blue Bagel.
... rode home with Evan and Marlena; whoa-incredible conversations.
... decorated for Christmas with my mom for, like, the 22nd time in my life.
... listened to Christmas tunes for the first time this season. Sing it to me, Bing.
... watched Glee with Ev.
And now I'll go to sleep in the home that I grew up with, and I'll sleep peacefully because I am blessed beyond belief.
