Almost There!

Time for another update! Shopping went well. I didn't spend a ton, got some gift shopping done, and I'm happy with the few things I got for myself too. Yay! I did end up spending a bit more on my credit card after that, though. Unfortunately living in England never seems to have its end when it comes to stuff you have to spend money on...topping up phones, getting gifts, buying fruit (because we really don't get much).

Only 8 days until I take a plane home to AMERICAAA!!! I am soooooo excited! If I weren't stepping off into an airport, I might actually kneel down and kiss the ground...but think of how gross that would be in an airport! Eww! ;)

On Saturday my dad will come to Capernwray. Yay! That will be really fun. I'm glad to finally be able to share my life for the past few months with someone. He's coming at the perfect time because next week should is gonna be pretty laid back. Sunday I have a Christmas cookie baking party with my family group. I miss baking cookies! Also on Sunday, I play my flute in worship band at the church service. Monday, the people involved in the Christmas roadshow will be performing it for the school. I'll probably be performing because I play flute in our mini-little “pit” orchestra made up of a keyboard, guitar and bass guitar, violin, french horn, and flute. Tuesday, my dad and I will mostly likely go into Lancaster for some Christmas shopping and just showing him where I hang out on a lot of Tuesday afternoons. Wednesday will be an interesting day too. I hope there is a trip into Carnforth, but if not I suppose I'll find a different day to go. Either way, Wednesday evening is the night of the Capernwray Christmas Banquet. That's something new so I'll have to see how that goes. It's all good for me, though. I get to wear a nice dress, so you know I'm not opposed...especially since I won't be going to the All Academy Ball anymore. Darn! I had a dress and everything... Oh well.

Thursday........AIRPORT! LONDON! SHOPPING...(maybe!) Thursday night I head to the airport. Wow...a week from today. It's strange how quickly it went by. To think that in a little over a week I will be sitting on my couch in upstairs “apartment”, spending time with family and friends... I can't really get my mind about it, but I'm certainly quite happy! Christmas is my favorite season and home is my favorite place. I'm almost there....
