I'm back!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted a blog but I have been so busy and the longer I wait the more things I have to write about. I know my mom and sister are just dieing to know what is going on in my crazy life! Well to start off, the rest of my vacation in TN was great. It was so good to be able to spend that much quality time with my sis, bro and little Sully. Thomas even came out to visit the second half of my trip. We did lots of fun things! I showed him the Country Music Hall of Fame, downtown Nashville, the huge mall, and the Opry Mills Hotel. We even got in some good quality time playing the nintento wii. Now I can say I'm better than him at golf, tennis and baseball. Either I'm really good or he sucks real bad but either way works for me ;) The last night we were there Thomas and I cooked dinner for Tracy and Tyson. We made chicken tetrazzini and it wasn't too bad but I think I'll do a better job my second time around. The worst part of the trip was having to say goodbye. I always have a hard time leaving my sister but this time was worse becsause I had to leave Sully behind as well. Leaving a family member is especially hard when you don't know the next time you will be able to see them. Sully is at the age where he is going to grow so fast and will be in a whole new stage of his life next time I see him. He'll surely have teeth and maybe even be walking. I hope it won't take too long to reacquaint myself with him and hopefully he'll remember me! It was good to have Thomas there with me because he has gone through the same situation with his family so he was really supportive and made me feel a lot better. He and I had such a great time with my sister and Tyson. We were so grateful for our visit and we can't wait till the next time we get to hang out with them!!! This is the only picture I have from the trip right now. I'll post some more when I have my camera...

Since I've been back home, school has started and I am back to my normal routine. It feels good to have some responisibilities back in my life. A whole summer off kind of gets to me after awhile and I start to get anxious and antsie to do more. I've really enjoyed my classes so far. They are all really interesting and it makes me feel good about the major that I chose. I can already tell that it's going to be an important semester for me and I'm going to learn alot. I decided not to buy a parking pass and have been riding my bike to school every morning! It's a great way to start my day. I have a few minutes to enjoy being outdoors and get some good exercise. Not having to deal with parking is also a huge bonus. I've been riding my bike alot lately. Last weekend Thomas and I rode our bikes to the Sac State football game and then all the way downtown for Second Saturday. Every second saturday of the month they close down J St. downtown and have a huge art display, wine tasting, live bands and crowds of people hanging out, eating and stopping in to all the different bars, shops and restaurants. Shannon even met us downtown to visit and get some dinner. It's always so good to see my friends from home because I'm always missin them up here in Sac!
