It's finally started snowing!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLLLLLLLO from the land of the Rock Hall of Fame, Buckeyes, and the Amish!!!!
I've been home since last Thursday and it has been wonderful so far!

This morning I did all my last-minute shopping with my friend Brian (see around, somewhere....)and we went to the mall and ate Chic Fil-A.  Chic Fil-A is Brian's fave fast-ish food, and we got sandwhiches and waffle-fries!!!!!! It was yummy! And...all the shopping was done with little collateral damage.  We got up supah' early, because it was the last Saturday before Christmas, and guess what!? We beat the crowds! It was pretty much awesome as we drove away from the mall, shopping finished, and there was a huge line of cars headed to the mall, backing up traffic. After shopping we just went to Brian's house and watched the movie version of "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. I think that's one of his favorite books, and it is quite good, but also very sad. It was a very sad movie, but it had a yummmmmmmy soundtrack mmmmm.
I got home Thursday afternoon, Sarah that night. It was SO COLD when I got off the plane, but it was wonderful and refreshing!! And FINALLY, the next Sunday, it has snowed! Just a tiny bit, nothing compared, apparently, to what's going on east of here, but a tiny bit! It has made me quite happy!!
It has been quite fun just hanging out with my family, although Stacy isn't home and Shann & Josiah are in NC. And seeing Lauren and Rachel for the first time in many months was pretty much awesome. They came over for dinner on Thursday before Rachel left for PA and it was really fun to catch up with them.
EUGH two nights ago, I think, for the game of the night my dad suggested Risk. WORST GAME EVER. I lost....so badly. And it takes forever. I hate that game! My dad and Sarah battled it out to the end, however, with my dad reigning victorious as world dominator. (Surprise, surprise.) Also on the games front (I do love a good game...) I taught Brian this game called "James Bond" which is a super-speedy card game that Chris taught to me, and it is sooooooo fuuuuun.
WHOA....we have been playing Beatles' Rockband SO MUCH since I've been home, it's basically awesome.
That's all.
Bye!

This if from Christmas tree shopping!!!!!!!!!
