Finals are over and winter break has officially started! Hallelujah! Currently I'm at my grandparent's home in central Oregon. Tomorrow I go into surgery to get my top wisdom teeth out... The bottom two have already been removed, and hopefully this will be a quick recovery!
Being in the home that I've loved since childhood brings back so many memories. :)
My grandparents are precious to me. They've always been here for me. Whenever I just wanted to call and talk. They remembered every birthday, every special event.
Every since I was 6 or 7 I've spent a week at my grandparent's during the summer. It's generally a week of scrumptious homemade meals, library trips, and wonderful conversation. I love listening to the stories that they have to tell. Summers spent at Gammy and Papa's were the best!
Through my high school music career, they attended almost every single one of my band and choir concerts. (Seriously! My friends were always disappointed when they didn't get to see my grandparents if they couldn't make it to a concert.) They've put many miles on their Jeep Cherokee for me, and words will never express my thanks. My Gammy has always reminded me of some sort of royalty. She doesn't put on airs or anything, but there's just something about her that makes you want to be the best you can be. She's a kindred spirit. My Papa has always been good for a hug, and his jokes and laughter make every holiday special. I don't tell them enough how much I love them and appreciate them. When I grow up I hope to be half the grandmother to my grandchildren as my grandmother has been to me.
I'm blessed beyond measure to have them in my life. :)
Happy Holidays!

Aw :) People always say that you don't know what you have until you lose it. Well, I'm determined to be the exact opposite. I don't want to take anyone or anything for granted!
