Long time coming.

So it has been quite awhile.  I have found it hard to write regularly.  Things have been busy and the end of the semester is coming to a close.  I can't believe how fast it has gone.  I am on Thanksgiving break right now and am enjoying my time off.  My dad and I just drove to Fort Leanord Wood, MO to see my brother graduate from basic training in the Army National Guard, and are going to spend Thanksgiving with him.  I am excited to see him and be here to support him.  I know that he is ready to be done, and it will be good to spend some time with him!
