Home Sweet Home

Home at last. I made it back to the house in Pearl, barely. I got to my gate in Denver right as they were boarding. I didn't even have my boarding pass at the time. I had to wait in line to get my boarding pass and then get on the plane. I was about 15 minutes late getting home, but at least I got here.

So, Saturday was so much fun! I got to see a lot of family, went shopping a little, ate good food, and went to the shooting range with my cousin. I love going to the shooting range. We shot his new AR 15 that he bought as well as a .22 handgun and his Ed Brown Custom .45. Now, that .45 is a mean sucker! It would do some damage, and it had a wicked kick, too. I like handling the .22 best. It's light, not too bad to handle, and it's small. I shot pretty well too, just around the center. My cousin says I'm a good shot, so I'll take his word for it. He's been shooting a lot longer than I have.

We went over my cousin's house and got to see baby Eavane. She is adorable! She did this cute thing when I was on the computer. I was watching a video and it had music to it, so she wanted in my lap. I let her up and she started boucing to the music, laughing and cooing. It was so cute. When the video was over, I put her down, but she cried for me to pick her up again. So, I picked her up, and she yawned, and laid her head on my shoulder. It was the most heart-warming thing ever. The fact that a baby is so comfortable in your arms and is so soothed by you, they can practically fall asleep is something else. I am in no rush to become a parent, but when I do, I'll know not to take those moments for granted.

Well, one more week of work left, and then back to Starkville for RA Training. I am thoroughly excited! Meeting new RAs, getting in touch with old ones. Meeting new RDs too! Can't wait!

But, I'm mostly enthusiastic about seeing just one person really.....
