Home where he belongs

William came back home yesterday after a week in Elizabeth City! I was SO glad to have him back. I don't mean to sound selfish but I moved to Winston so that he can fulfill his dream and so I can support him along the way but when he was not here for a week it all seemed pointless. I know that's me being dramatic but if I'm not here with him then I would rather be at home with my family and friends. Anywho, we are back to normal today. I'm getting ready to leave for work and he has a nice long monday at school where they are starting their biochemistry block. William really should have this unit in the bag. Biochem is his forte. He majored in it, tutored it, taught it, dreamed about it, etc, LOL so maybe we'll have a bit more free time together this semester.

I had a great visit with my mom and grandma while they were here! The only real day we had together was Thursday because I was off work. We went wedding dress shopping, and yes, I bought the dress! I would post a link to the website or a picture but obviously I dont want William to see it! I was so happy with it, it was actually the first one I tried on and nothing else compared. We also went to IKEA and settled the decor for the reception. We made a lot of headway on plans and things are slowly coming together. The other days that mom and grandma were here I had to work so I only saw them at night. They helped get some things done around the apartment, actually went grocery shopping for me, AND they set up our little 4-ft Christmas tree. I KNOW it's not even thanksgiving yet but grandma is an A+ christmas tree professional so I wanted her to straighten it out while she was here. William and I decorated the tree and hung our stockings! Here's a quick picture:






I get off late on Mondays so I am making homemade chili in the crockpot for dinner tonight! I'm using grandma's recipe and I took pictures of the process so once we eat it (to make sure it's good) I will post the procedure!!!
