Home Sweet Home...

I'm finally back home from my trip to Alaska and I must say it came at the right time.  Don't get me wrong, the cruise and hotels were nice, but nothing beats my bed.  I came home to Rockford on May 6th, left for Champaign, IL on Wed. May 9th, we set off for Seattle on the 11th, the ship sailed on the 13th, we docked back in seattle on the 20th, came back to Champaign onthe 21st, and I made it home in Rockford on the 22nd.  In total I've traveled a total of 26.5 hours and that doesn't include the time the ship was travelling from port to port, or the amount of time it'll take for me to get back to school on Monday.  Needless to say my body was exhausted.  I stayed in bed for about 12 hours today and I still feel like I need more sleep.  Yet, there is no time for sleep this weekend because We'll be having our annual family reunion this weekend so I have to help get everything ready for when everybody comes.  I don't look at this as a burden though because I haven't seen my family in a long time because anytime they all get together I was either busy working or at school.  This year it just so happens to work out so now I'm excited I'll be able to see everyone.
