I'M HOME!!!By the grace and mercy of God I was able to come home and surprise my family and best friend, for Thanksgiving. They were so suprised! My Daddy picked me up at the airport at 11:30am and drove me home. I went into the house behind him, and my mom looked at me for a second then went back to cleaning! My Dad said, "Honey, there's some one standing by the door." She looked again and actually saw me! She screamed and then cried as she hugged me. My sisters soon followed. After spending sometime with them, I went to SamanthaMarie's house. That was one of the best surprises ever!
I called her, and talked with her like normal, (thinking I was still in Texas). I knocked on her door. While still talking with me on the phone, she asks "who is it?". Of course, I can't answer. She slowly opens the door. And then steps back and says, "Are you really here right now?!" Looking back at her phone. It was great!
It is so surreal being back at home, it's like I never left, but at the same time, I know I'll be leaving on Sunday morning. SamanthaMarie and I have kept in touch so well, and my family as well. *sigh* God is good. I have missed home so much. Yet I miss the HA a little too. Balance. God has a plan for me, and I am so glad. This is so good for my Mom, she has missed me so much.
More than likely the next 4 days will be spent with little sleep, but lots of memories. (Did I mention I have a final when I get back?)
God is such a great Daddy-He gives great gifts. (Pictures coming soon)

HEY! I'm so sorry, I know I haven't been blogging in forever! I gonna start blogging more again. I put up a couple of new posts now. But I was reading this post, and then I read "Texas". I'm "hmm... I might be going down there next year... I wonder where she's going to school" At the end I see HA, and I know that obviously means the Honor Academy, and the crzay thing is I went to ATF this October and applied to it. And just last week I got a call that I got accepted. And I want to go so much. I'm praying about it, and the big thing is money, and I really want to go. How on earth do you like it there? A friend's sister went in like 2003 or 2004 and she loved it!
Good to hear you had a great Thanksgiving!
PS Maybe if you stick around another year we could meet! Or you could even be my core advisor! OR you at least come and visit... or something (and bring Sam, how crazy would that be).... ahh, the possiblities.
Well, we missed having you here as part of our family, but am thankful for this special memory for you and your family!!!
You are truly an amazing woman of God and I am blessed to be a part of your life!
We do need to come get you one weekend for some Christmas baking!!!
Love ya!
I would be coming in August. I can't say for sure that she's the same girl but the next time she calls I could ask. But what if she asks how I know you? Would you mind if I said I know you through blogs? Is this a secret for you?
It is kinda exciting. We are friends on FB. I mean, if I met you it would just prove how small of a world we live in.
