I love spending time with my family and friends-- my hilarious aunts and uncles, snugs with my niece Mal, inside jokes with my dad, kitchen table talks with my mom, video games and ping pong with the boys, and lunch dates with the girlfriends.
I love spending time in my hometown with no worries about getting back to school to finish homework or study. I love reading on the couch while Mom watches the news and taking a beating from p90x with Dad and Dea, eating at my favorite restaurants (okay, I'm sorry I keep forcing you guys to eat at Mama's, but I love it so so much) and shopping at the local boutiques in my storybook town (the crowds are so much better than Target or Wal-Mart, and the customer service is the icing on the cake). And of course, there's the book table at Mike's. Oh man, oh man-- hours, literally hours, people. I love late night laughs in the living room at the Married Couple's house, long talks in the car with Clay, and midnight phone calls with JoJo (just to talk about the new board game she got today).
I love weekends with the pledge sisters, reliving the glory days and toasting memories long gone. I love that I always have something to look forward to because the Lord has so richly blessed me with people I can't get enough of.
And of course, it doesn't hurt that when I'm home for Christmas break the house elves magically do my laundry once a week and put supper on the table every night... Just one of the many perks.
Oh, and PS-- this is my 200th post. And I'm posting it at 2:00 am. Hip hip... hooray!
