Home!!!

So here I am, finally home!!! My whole family came to meet me at LAX, even though it was almost 1am. They were waiting at the bottom of the escalator just as I was leaving the terminal. The first thing I saw was five pairs of feet all in a semicircle, and those feet looked like they could be familiar...which they were!! They had a big sign that said welcome home, Andrea, and screamed a lot when they saw me. It was awesome!!! They even had some cold root beer waiting for me since I've been missing it so much. :-) I got a bit emotional and probably look awful in the pictures my dad was taking, but I was so happy to see them. Six months is a long time. The whole night was so surreal...like one of my many dreams of going home that I had throughout my contract. We went to In 'N Out before we drove home.....nothing like it!!! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect homecoming.

So now I am at home, resting and recovering from being sick. I'd like to be feeling better before I start hanging out with all my friends at school this weekend. I plan to rest and really enjoy these almost two months at home before returning to the Summit. I've enjoyed keeping up this blog and have loved reading all your comments. My next contract is only 3 months, but maybe I will continue doing this blog...let me know what you think! If there are people who'd like to read it, I'll keep writing. :-) So let me know. Thanks again for all your prayers and support during my contract. I can't believe its over. I made it!!! I am so glad that I did it. It was an amazing experience. Until next time!!
