You Remind Me of Home

My blog post titles are always song lyrics. I can't help it. I feel as if my life is sometimes just a bunch of songs scrambled together. I love the days when I hear a song & it relates to my own life perfectly. I can thank my friend JoyceAnn for introducing me to this Ben Gibbard song. This week is the week I've been waiting for. I get to go home again :) Every time I tell someone that they think I'm referring to Reno. It's not that I don't love Reno, but Henderson will always be my home. It's like a first love. You never forget it & it'll always be something you remember. I haven't been home since October & honestly I can't wait. My mom texts me every day for the countdown, my dad calls me every day asking me when I'll be moving home, & every time I talk to my grandma's they both tell me how they can't wait to see me. I'm one lucky girl if I do say so myself :) My friend Laquan told me today how he can't wait to see me, but since Friday is the day the world will be ending he's scared that he wont get the chance. At least we'll get to live it up together in heaven. I've been the worst blogger ever lately. Sometimes I just take a break because I don't know what to write. Reno is COLD. & when I say cold I mean COLD. It snowed the other day & I happened to be out in sandals. SANDALS people! People probably thought I looked like an idiot, but oh well. I'll never be thankful enough for the marsh mellow jacket that my dad bought me. Speaking of gifts. I'm still not done Christmas shopping :( I work every single day this week even the day I fly out & I'm in major stress mode. This isn't like me. At least I have everything bought for my mom & brother already. 2 people down 100 more to go I feel like. Also today I tried to buy some VS pj's & they were sold out online. I decided to call the stores up here to find them & they were all sold out. I ended up calling the stores in Reno & Las Vegas & finally I found them at the Meadows mall. The ghetto mall. Thankfully my mom will be picking them up for me this week. My mom also tried to buy me the mittens I posted in my previous blog & again they were SOLD OUT! How is this my life!? Again thankfully Reno has them & I will be buying my 2nd Christmas present. My last dilemma is to wrap pre flying or after? I don't want to spend all my time wrapping presents for them to be tore up. It's all part of the struggle I guess. At least I've had a fun week. My co worker Tina & I decided we'd head down to the Reno Santa pub crawl & let me just say it was a night for the books. I've never had so much fun. There are many details I'd love to write, but my mom reads this so I must keep it G rated. My cousin Jordyn will be flying into Las Vegas this week & I can't wait to see her. We both didn't get the chance to go home for Thanksgiving so a reunion is much needed. & we're both legal age now so the Vegas better watch out. Maybe we can even convince my brother to come along. All I know is I can't wait to be home! I always get very anxious before I fly home, but the second I land in that city of lights I feel so much better. This trip is going to be longer than my last trip home so hopefully many good things happen during it. Although this time I will not kill myself to see everyone. People can come to me. Last time I was too stressed & exhausted. This time I am only seeing the people that I need to see. Hopefully all of my Henderson readers make the list ;) On that note I'm going to snuggle into my cute new flannel sheets & watch some television. It's suppose to start snowing any minute so I will not leave my apartment until tomorrow when I have to. I love you all & will write hopefully before Christmas. Xoxoxo, Syd
