Hello, my friend, hello
It's been ages. Ages since I've updated this thing. Second year of college is off and running, I'm home for Christmas break right now and aside from being carless and stuck at home with my parents, I'm loving it.
School is something else. I'm not sure how I'm liking it. There isn't anything else I could think of to do if I left, but I don't want to play it safe. So many people are leaving. It's heartbreaking, watching friendships crumble in front of you.
The parents are doing well. Today is dad's birthday. Dad has been laid off for a very long time now. We're still hanging in there hoping things will look up soon. Mom's hours got cut and her company isn't doing well either. Mom's also having trouble with her knee. Dad is crabby as usual and sick of being home all day.
I've gotten to see a great majority of my family which was great, but I'm hoping to see more before I go back to school. There are also a lot of friends I haven't gotten to see, which I'm really bummed about.
I miss Ben terribly. I guess since we've been together I've gotten used to at least talking to him a little bit everyday. It was great spending the first couple days of break together, but now he's in Florida with his family and I haven't gotten to talk to him much. One more week!
I guess that's all that's new. I'm going to try and keep this up, but we'll see how that goes :)
