I had the best time at home this last off-shift! I of course, knew I would but this went over what I thought it would. I got to spend some quality mom/daughter time, so basically we went shopping around town and eating at my favorite local spots. I also got to attend Avery Jane's 3rd birthday party! I got her a tent with a sleeping bag, of course, but she and luke ended up loving it and played it in while I was there! My highlight would have to be going to the game on Sunday! The titans pulled it out, and it was so much fun to go back to something that is like second nature to me. I got to see a lot of people I used to see every weekend. It was nice to see that people have missed me and think about how I'm doing while I'm gone. I have discovered that one of my favorite feelings is knowing that I am missed. It was hard leaving again, but a little easier because I realize how easy it is for me to just come home and slide right back into that environment. I think when I go home and feel like an outsider, that's when I will be nervous. I'm headed into the field for 9 days this shift...my first long shift of the holiday season. So, I won't be out on tuesday, it will be wed. Then I'll be headed to Frisco!!!
