Since we had a three day weekend, my roommate Jayde and I decided to take a trip up to my hometown. What we hadn't planned was driving through tornado warnings and thunderstorms. The entire drive home included lightning flashes, pouring rain, orange skies, and fear. Even though a tornado is always something I've wanted to witness in my life, I always change my mind when we have warnings or watches nearby.
After our terrifying drive, we made it safely home and met my family for dinner at one of the few restaurants I hadn't tried in my city. It was delish...one of my favorite words that my dad tends to make fun of me for over-using. We then ventured to Publix to get some Oreos and random things. One thing special about Jayde and I is that we can turn anything into an adventure. Our Publix trip resulted in finding awesome stuffed animals (in the picture) and dancing around the store.
It was so nice to be home and see my family. The only disappointment was coming into my house to see no more Christmas tree and holiday decorations. I sometimes forget that normal homes don't leave a Christmas tree up all year, unlike my apartment. :) The first night was nice and relaxing after a day of internship, and I was excited for a long weekend at home!
