Three weeks...

I have three weeks until I go home for Christmas break! I. Can't. Wait. Seriously. Provo is grand and I've got some good friends here, but all that awaits me these next three weeks are finals, projects, mountains of homework, people getting engaged, couples walking around talking about getting engaged, couples getting married. It's beautiful and wonderful for them - but also, it gets a little annoying for the rest of us whose goal in life is to leave Provo.

My feelings for these next few weeks can be summed up in this tumblr post: http://myfriendsaremarried.tumblr.com/post/36355420866/when-i-think-about-all-the-engagements-that-are-about

Aside from my Scrooge-like feelings towards finals and young Provo love, I have so much to be grateful for this holiday season (and all the other days, too)! I have SEVEN reasons I'm so excited to go home. And here they are in no particular order.

I love my family SO MUCH and can't wait to spend time with them! I know there'll be a lot of us in a small space, but that's just how we do it! It's the architectures way of making us closer and bonding us together.

 I think of the food, the Christmas made-for-TV movies, going to Disney, walking around Dad's neighborhood - did I mention the food? There is so much to look forward to and to be grateful for.

Now, to get over my insane fear of flying and make it the 7 hour plane ride home. Anyone got an Ambien?
