Back to the frozen tundra today. I'm back home in the land of 10,000 lakes and fighting off jet lag. The first night is always the worst, ya know. I see the clock, and I know its ACTUALLY 1:30 in the morning yet my body isn't feeling it. Last trip home I was up until 3, wide awake. I guess I'll see what tonight brings. So I said to myself "hey, what else is better than to blog when I can't sleep and there is wireless internet just begging to be used?" So back home...it's a different feeling every trip I make back to the mother land. A lot of thoughts, memories, friends and family that make it nice to come back and also difficult considering where I'm at in my life right now.
Turkey day is tomorrow and I'm SO looking forward to the turkey-stuffing-corn-pie event that America has dibs on. Definitely a food and football day. Lots of relatives that I haven't seen in a several years are coming over which always makes for an interesting holiday ;) My cohortian fellows are getting together for some turkey grub back in the OR and I'm bummed that I'm missing out on it. They have really become my family away from home. Boy, I don't know what I would do without some of them. Reminds me just how much I live in relationship with people, how much my life is enriched by some of the most incredible people I've ever met. I miss them dearly. I am so amazingly blessed to be in the program I'm in, the house and roommate I have, and the support of so many people from my cohort and church community. Hmmm, interesting how that stuff just comes out. I don't take much time to think about it but I have a lot to be thankful for this year.
