Happy Monday! Since we had a three-day weekend thanks to Labor Day, I decided to come home! Even though I had only been gone for two weeks, it felt like I hadn't seen my home and family in forever. I missed my own bed, my own shower, giving my parents hugs every night, laughing with my brother, and my mom's cooking, but I mostly missed my dogs. I literally cried tears of joy when I opened the front door and I saw my dogs coming down the stairs to greet me with wagging tails and smiles across their faces.
On Friday night we just talked about everything that's been happening for the past couple of weeks and watched TV. On Saturday we went to the dog park, went shopping, got frozen yogurt, went out for sushi for dinner (my absolute favorite), and watched a movie at home. Yesterday we took our dogs for a walk around the neighborhood, then my mom and I ran some errands, we had fish tacos for dinner, and watched "Love Actually," which is a favorite movie of mine. Today I spent some time on the couch with my dogs, saw "Let's Be Cops" with my brother (not a great movie, but it was fun to hang out with the bro), got a pedicure with my mom, and made dinner with my mom too! Seriously, the dinners have been my favorite part about being home. But I really need to go to the gym on campus starting tomorrow!
Being home has reminded me of how much I love being home. I definitely took it for granted while I was actually living here, and there are so many little details that I didn't recognize before college, that I now don't have and it's hard knowing I have to leave again in the morning. I love being at KU, but nothing compares to spending time with your family and dogs on a lazy afternoon while eating delicious friends. Not going to lie, I'm going to miss it even more now. I don't think I'm coming back home until Fall Break (second weekend in October, I think) and that's going to be a really long time away from home and everything that comes with it. I might need to make my parents bring my dogs up to my dorm one weekend :)
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
