I'm very happy with the way today turned out. The flight went smoothly and we had a very great family night playing "Just Dance" for Wii. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't mention how much I missed Ellie today, but that's not the focus of this journal.
I had so much fun today with my family! My sister brought over a new game, and I haven't laughed that hard in years. It was such a nice release. Just sitting around, enjoying pizza and chicken wings, being goofy and playing around. My grandmother even mentioned how much she's been enjoying this blog, which helps "feed the fire" for me to keep writing. My gratitude definitely goes toward being able to be blessed enough to be able to spend quality time with my family.
Being with my family is much more about the quality versus the quantity. It has to be. I'm the long distant family member. We have to make the best of the situation, so when I do get to come home, my family always makes me feel welcome and relaxed. We enjoy one another's company. They make Tom feel just as much of the family as if he were born into it. That means more to me than everything.
I'm not sure today could have gone any better except maybe if Ellie were here, but I'll take the great days when I can get them!
