I feel like it has been a long time since I posted last, its been right around a week since I did and I now feel ready to post about my week long trip to Montana.
I have to start with how grateful I was to be able to go home and see my family and friends. It wasn't nearly as long as I wanted it to be, but on the plus side I have like two weeks of actual class then two finals before I get to go home again.
I don't know if you have ever been on a train ride, but if you have you know that it is definitely an experience. The ride home was neither bad nor good. i enjoyed having my own seat the entire way, but i felt that the people working on the train lacked hospitality. However despite getting me home 2 hours late, I still got there.
Right off the train I got to see my sister, Katie and my Mom before Leanne had to hand the baby off so I could give her a hug before i finally got to meet my beautiful niece. She was five weeks and one day old when I met and is the most adorable baby, like ever! Before going home i got to indulge in a Rod's Pop (these are a hometown favorite from a locally owned burger joint). Then mom made her amazing homemade pizza...Delicious. It was a fantastic night, i just got to spend it hanging out with my family and then my best friend showed up and me and her went and got coffee just to catch up.
Wednesday passed in complete normalcy. I got to hang with friends and the family and my mom made dinner again, if you knew my mom you'd be impressed by this. Then on Thursday it was a little bit of a downer because my mom had to go back to work on her 2-10 shifts so unfortunately she had to miss Thanksgiving dinner, which I'm not gonna lie...it sucked. But My sisters, My niece and I all went over to our cousin's house and had dinner with my cousin's family and our aunt and uncle. It was really nice just to be around my family, i definitely needed that. I had honestly forgot (or maybe I never really knew) how funny my usually annoying cousin is. It was nice not to have to worry about anything for a little bit and just to get to hang. Not to mention i got to finish out Thanksgiving by watching both the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movies with my oldest sister and niece.
Friday was a different sort of day. I finally got some more hometown food that I had been craving but more then that I also had dinner with my dad, which was something new for me in itself. I had never seen my dad so relaxed except when he was around his friends. Turns out my dad and step-mom are getting a divorce. It was kind of a shock but I'm not gonna lie, I'm not upset about this. I'm actually kind of happy. Which i know that sounds completely awful but long story short, i don't know if this will change how i feel about my dad at all, but maybe it will help me get to know him a little bit more. But you never know I guess...it will be interesting to see how this develops. In other news from my dinner with dad, i got put on blast by my two big sisters...thanks for that one guys. Considering how much i could put them on blast....ooh fuck them.
Basically they put on blast about my lunch plans for the next day. I had plans with two friends of mine, one being a guy who i have feelings for...for lack of a better term, I have a crush on him(although i hate that word SO much). Any-who now my dad knows all about that now, which whatever, he doesn't live in the same town as me so whatever.
In other news, my lunch with my two friends was GREAT! Talking with the two people I was with was great, I forgot how much he makes me laugh and smile and she is the biggest sweetheart in the world so it was so much fun catching up with her. I won't name names so we will leave it at that. Saturday night was great too because it was my last night in town and I got to spend it with my two best friends and we just stayed up all night playing Call of Duty. Unfortunately, when I do play COD with my friends, it get s a little annoying because I get really into the game and they don't but story of my life.
All in all, it was a great week. Leaving Sunday kind of sucked but I'll be back soon, that's what I have to keep telling myself. I am so thankful that I got to go home and see my family and friends and just to spend time with them. That time is probably what is going to get me through the rest of this semester. You don't realize how hard it truly is to not have your family until they aren't around anymore and it has really opened my eyes to the fact that I really do have this amazing family who I love and support as much as possible. I know that every time I leave them to go back to college is not going to get any easier but I know that the support they give me will make everything in my life that much easier.
