So I'm sure you're wondering how New Year's Eve went...
(There are some pictures to go along with what is below...Enjoy!)
Well, I had the annual party at my house, but this year my mom joined us. It actually was really fun having her there. It threw in another mix into the atmosphere. I think there were around 30 people that stopped by at one point or another. There was a group of people watching the Bears/Packers game who didn't move really until the game was over. Just about everyone brought something, so there was a ton of food. Everything from amazing Oreo balls, to taco dip and everything in between. We had a dance party in the basement after the new year rang in...DP '07! Most of us ended up staying up until around 4:30 playing Boxers or Briefs (if you haven't played the game, I suggest checking it out, especially with a large group of people). It was so much fun! At one point I was laughing so hard I literally had tears streaming down my face! It was really a great night, and from what I've heard, everyone who came had a great night (or morning as the case may be) as well.
My break...
At times it went by too fast, but at the same time it seemed like time had just about stood still. As much as I loved being home and catching up with so many of my friends, I felt like two weeks is actually too long for me to be home right now. It's too much of a tease. After a week, I get comfortable, and totally at ease with being home. Please don't get me wrong, it was so great seeing so many friends and really being able to relax and catch up with life back home; it's just that I know that, that isn't part of my life right now, at least not for the next several months. I really hope that those months go by fast, and that I will learn all that I need to while I'm out here, both with academics and life. Right now I have lots to learn with class, and I know that right now I'll be stretched in my life, and I'm hoping and praying that I'm ready for it all. Last night when I was driving back here I was listening to Dave Barnes, and a song came on that I was like, yeah, that's my life right now! It's called, Miles To Go...

Brother I've been walking farther
Than any man has ever been
I got these scars on my feet
And I've got these bruises on my chin
People they all staring in wonder
Some they even laugh at me
They don’t know just what I’m seeking
And if they did we would disagree
Lift up your eyes and don’t stand still
People of the world And people of the will
Move on and on and on down this road
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there’s still miles to go
Sister let me tell you something
Please don’t call this bravery
If you understood my reasons
You’d be here to stand by me
Up ahead: a chorus singing
In that city set upon that hill
Brother that’s where I’m going
And if you want you can join me still
Lift up your eyes and don’t stand still
People of the world And people of the will
Move on and on and on down this road
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there’s still miles to go
If you need me
I’ll wait for you, oh I’ll wait for you
When I am gone, I am gone
Lift up your eyes and don’t stand still
People of the world And people of the will
Move on down this road
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there’s still miles to go
If you get a chance, listen to the song, it's really great. Well for now...Over and out!
Lo
