To update you all, I've moved in with my parents in Greenfield and have been here for about a week. It's been awesome. Sheena and I transformed my bedroom into a bedroom/entertaining room. It's so different and fun. Then, we've been solidifying her wedding plans. I've been to like 3 Christmas parties already...crazy because it's 70 degrees outside and doesn't feel like Christmas at all!!! Basically, I'm lovin' being at home, which is a big deal since I'll be here until Feb. Something really cool is that I think that I'll have the opportunities to spend time with friends from the past and rekindle a few relationships. I'm really excited about that since I've been really horrible at keeping up with most people, and unfortunately, friends that I dearly loved at one point in my life have slipped through the cracks of time, and now I'm looking around going, what happened?? So, hopefully I've learned the lesson that relationships are important and that they require fostering and attention. That might be harder to do once I'm in El Salvador, but hopefully the cyber world will be kind to me. :)
Speaking of friends, though, I'm super psyched because I am leaving today to see 2 of my best friends in a whirlwind trip through Illinois. It's going to be quick, yet long at the same time (on the road a while), but well worth it to spend some time with Alison and Evelyn before I'm on a jet plane out of here.
