Family Weekend

Day 48---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry I haven't written in four days. I wasn't able to get near a computer all weekend because Mom and John came to visit, and they brought Harry Potter (my dog)! They picked me up on Friday and we went to stay at Great Grandma Sauve's old house (so sorry she wasn't there!). We ate steak, potatoes, and corn on the cob for dinner. First REAL meal I've had in weeks! You probably don't know this, but on campus, anything they fry in vegetable oil and any mixed meat has soy additive. Well I'm allergic to soy and since they serve that almost everyday, I've been sticking to things I know are safe like salad, sandwiches, bacon (they broil in the oven), etc. So you could understand how relieved I was to have some real meat.

Anyway, after dinner, we all watched movies on this itty bitty tv that was left in the house. The screen was so small, John had to grab a stool and sit 3 ft away becuase he couldn't see from the couch. The whole thing was rather comical.


On Saturday, we went out to breakfast then came back and hung out for a while. Around 1800hrs, John went out to watch the Huskies football game at the casino and Mom and I stayed at the house, carved pumpkins, and listened to a book on tape.


Sunday (today), we came back to base and I dropped off my stuff in the dorm and showed them around. They left about an hour later. It was really good to see my family (and Harry) and I'm really glad they could make the 7hr drive out here, but at the same time, I wished I had just stayed on campus. It's just so hard to say goodbye. I miss everyone back home dearly.

P.S.
I have some good news, but I don't have time. Tell you tomorrow!
