Reminiscing about a wonderful few days...

Over thanksgiving break, Kurt and I traversed the long, winding roads to IL. We were able to spend Thanksgiving day with Denny and MaryAnn. We all know that Denny can cook up a feast in a matter of seconds...it was great.

I can't even begin to describe how relaxing it was. I pretty much did nothing the whole three days we were there...so great. I love spending time with Denny and MaryAnn! MaryAnn and I went to Tiffany's(Their daughter) house for one of the days. We painted her cabinets and had wonderful conversations while doing so. It's great to work, but feel like you're just spending quality time with people you like. It was a wonderful trip as always!

I love people and Thanksgiving Break!

I'm so excited that thanksgiving is finally here! I took a rather taxing math exam today, and now I'm on my way to lots of eating and seeing of my favorite people. It feels oh so good to be done with school for a short while...I'm going to indulge in the wonderfulness of relaxation. To start my break off, Kurt and I are headed out to IL for a couple of days. We are going to visit Denny and MaryAnn. It should be a pretty fun time...as it always is. I can't wait to see all of my precious family members on Sunday. I hope to see everyone!(Here I'm taking a sad pause in honor of Jen, Luke, and Luca.)

...I want to wish everyone a LOVELY holliday of Thanksgiving!!! Don't feel guilty for getting an extra piece of pie. :)

Souls And Rain-Drops by Sidney Lanier

Light rain-drops fall and wrinkle the sea,
Then vanish, and die utterly.
One would not know that rain-drops fell
If the round sea-wrinkles did not tell.

So souls come down and wrinkle life
And vanish in the flesh-sea strife.
One might not know that souls had place
Were't not for the wrinkles in life's face.
