I'm back from Bama and my computer is finally working well enough for me to sit down and recap what all happened at home. Overall it was a great trip. The wedding was lovely, hanging out with my family was fantastic. I didn't see as many friends as I wanted to, which is totally my fault. But it was Alabama, home sweet home.

A lot of stuff has changed in the past few months since I moved. Mom has done fantastic things with the house. Breanne moved into the big bedroom upstairs and Mom redid the two little rooms. The front room is an office and Breanne's old room is a guest bedroom, which is lovely. I guess now that Mom is down to one kid instead of 3 she's able to do nicer things like that. In Hoover, a lot of the stuff is still the same. At the high school (yes I went to go say hi) everyone is still there going strong. Construction is STILL ongoing on 150, which I really don't think will ever end. There can't be much progress since I left, what a pain in the ass! Tuscaloosa on the other hand, that has changed a little bit. First of all the Houndstooth is gone!!! I know they are rebuilding, but its awful sad. Thats where Patrick and I met 9 long months ago! We spent the night in Ttown trying to see some old friends. Well, I knew better than to hold my breath for anyone I knew down at school and I was right to. I saw Jen because I went to the bar to see her. Meagan never called me, which really hurt my feelings. Still haven't talked to her. But we drank, hung out with a few of Patrick's friends at the new bar The Red Shed, where I saw a bunch of old friends. The next morning we ate lunch at City Cafe, which was fantastic and packed as ever. I had hamburger steak, creamed corn, okra and something else that I can't remember. And sweet tea, oh how wonderful that was. Its almost impossible to get fresh brewed tea around here. I almost forgot what it tasted like. We also stopped by Mugshots for dinner and BWW to see if anyone was there. I didn't really k now anyone at either of the restaurants. A lot of turn over since I've been gone.

Of course the real reason we went home was for Shayne and Stephanie's wedding. It was...dry. Besides being dry it was pretty and fun, even if we didn't really know anyone. Honestly, we were out of the church within 2 hours and at Ross Bridge (the new nice hotel by my house) in 3. The hotel was gorgeous and there was alcohol, which was the important thing. We drank, hung out and everyone toasted the bride and groom. Asides from a momentary freak out about the tab, we had a great time.

Now its all over and I'm back in Prov where there's 4 inches of snow and at least an inch of ice on the ground. I will admit that I missed work like crazy. Those little buggers get under your skin. I resisted calling the office every day, but I did talk about the kids non stop. What can you say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I had a snow day yesterday and there's a possibility of having another one today. Yesterday I was in the house ALL DAY and it was absolutely boring. I was about to go stark raving mad. Today I'm not sure what's going on. I very well might have another snow day. Its also freezing so theres a little chance I'm going to walk anywhere and smaller chance that I'm going to drive. I have nothing to read and there's never anything on TV on saturdays. Lets hope for work!
