Yesterday I didn't get to write and I wanted to so badly. It was one of the best days that I have had in a long time, mainly because I got to shoot guns. I love doing that so much. (: So I got up and worked out, as usual before the long day I had ahead of me. I had the second part to my concealed weapons permit course. We spent the day at the range shooting; we had to successfully shoot the entire course to pass. What do you know? I passed with flying colors, 100%. I don't think my daddy could have been any prouder. It was a lot of fun because I got to do it with my mom, dad, sister, brother, and sister-in-law. My family means so much to me, so it made it that much more fun and enjoyable.
I have a crazy family, so taking this course was quite a hoot. We like to joke around but we know when it is time to get serious. Although some of the videos were a little outdated, it was extremely informational and insightful. Sometimes they just pulled out scenarios you would never even begin to think of. Even though I cannot carry concealed until I am 21, it was totally worth taking the class. I would recommend anyone and everyone who considered taking the class to do so. It is well worth the time and money spent.
After that we had a big evening with family. (: Huge homemade dinner because today was supposed to be my last day home, I am supposed to be in Radford right now. But anyway, we had dinner and enjoyed the stories that were told from the class earlier in the day. After that I took a little nap...the evening is when it got exciting. My daddy had been wanting to watch the movie "Taken", so we had a family movie night. Well, after it was over, we were all in such suspense that we just HAD to watch the second one. We proceeded to watch "Taken 2". They were both extremely good, I really liked them. Two of the greatest things in my life are watching movies and my family; I love it when we get to do relaxing things like that together. I am truly blessed.
So, today would be day 4, even though less than half an hour and it's over. /:
Today was absolutely crazy! We got up and went to mass, then it was time to begin what was supposed to be vigorous packing for me to go back to college. Seeing as how that didn't happen, I am lying in my bed at home, anxiously awaiting 5 am to start the four hour drive back to Radford. So, I got distracted in every possible way today; partially because I absolutely hate packing and partially because I totally have mixed feelings about going back. I know I'll be excited once I get there, it's just the journey to actually get there is a lot of work and no fun. I got to have one last sunday dinner with the family and then a chill day.
I spent it packing on and off before we went on our expedition to get everything I needed before we headed back. All in all, tonight ended with yet another great movie ("The Words") and a friendly family competitive game of Family Feud.
In case y'all were wondering, my family means more to me than anything in this world. They are my rock at all times. I know we might fight and not get along all the time, but they have never left my side and they would never leave me in the dust. I am truly grateful and I thank God every single day for my loved ones. Without them, I honestly have not one clue where I would be or if I would still be alive. I have more to be thankful for every day, especially since I am still living and breathing.
I could go on and on about my family and the rest of my days, but I have finally finished packing the last of my things away to head back to college. Next time I write, I will be in a different state surrounded by different people who love me just the same. I am excited to see what kind of adventure awaits me this semester. until next time...
