I'm back!!!

Sorry I've been such a bad blogger. I had all of those finals to complete and then a trip to NC for my nephews birthday. Yesterday, my mom had to go to Tampa to be with my brother while he had surgery on both of his legs and I had to stay here to be with my dad at his hernia surgery. They ended up keeping my dad overnight and we finally made it home this morning. My grandad (mom's dad) came and sat with me until he got out of surgery and he got to see him. My dad's dad wouldn't even come..hmm. Anyways my brother had hi surgery and was able to go home and now my mom is on her way home with him and his wife and kids. His wife hasn't learned to drive yet so my mom had to be with them and had to bring him here so that he will be here for Christmas. They seem to be doing soo much better.

On another note, I passed ALL of my classes!! YAY!!!!

And it's only 10 days until Christmas and eight until I get to see that guy I've been waiting so patiently to see :)
