bored out of my mind but i enjoyed going up there for about a

week................

well I am back home now for about a month...it does feel good to be back home but i know that feeling will disapear quite fast....Traffic was horible trying to make it through Houston but it still only took me about 3 hours to get home....got home about 3:45 nd crashed till about 7...i hate driving for a long time..it wears me out...I finally finished up with my finals at 8am this morning....thank goodness i dont have an 8am class next semester i dont know if i would be able to do it.....had to say good bye to drew before i headed off to my final....I really did not think it would be that hard to say goodbye but ya i shead a couple of tears....hopefully we will see eachother some over the break.....we have our 4 months on Sunday so we are going to attempt to get together but both with us and our busy lives stuff usually does not work out....he has landed his dream job and i am very proud of him...he starts tomorrow working for Jared Gallery Jewlry...so that will keep him very busy over the break....My mom and I head up to Illinois on the 23rd-27th....spend some time with my grandma....it will be weird without my grandpa there...we are going to be staying at her house..which we usually do..but when we went up there for the funeral back in Oct i could not even keep my self together whenever i was in the house....so i am not sure how i am going to manage to sleep in there for like 4 days...it will be rough....alright off to watch some movies with my mom and just relax a little bit before some christmas parties tomorrow.......much love Laura
