Home Sweet Home

Sunday, my favorite day. I didn't get to go to church today. That's alright because I did plenty of other things.

I woke up a little before 11am. I showered, ate lunch and packed all the stuff I needed for five days in Houston. Then I headed over to Rachel's dorm so I could take the contents of her freshman year home with me. After that I was on the highway.

I was extremely excited for this drive. Just the open road for three hours. I played my music loud and rolled down the windows. Myself and the sunshine. It was glorious. The song of my road trip was definitely "Next to Me" by Emily Sande. It is currently my jam.

Then I arrived home to the most beautiful weather. Sun shining over the lake in my back yard. I took out my ENO and started a book. Yes that is right, I read for fun. Yup I know, it never happens. The day was just to good not to. While reading, I saw these flowers in my mothers flower bed. I had to take a picture and it turned out to be awesome. The perfect representation of the peaceful, summer day I had.

My brother and father took me out to Fiesta Azteca for dinner. Which is this Mexican restaurant my parents are really into. I think every time I come home we go there. I LOVE Mexican food, in fact I could probably eat it everyday. However due to my new diet and workout routine, I was not feeling Fiesta Azteca. Though I still went and ate too much food. I shouldn't have. And the fact that it is 8:45 pm and I still haven't worked out is not a good sign either.

I am blessed by my family today. It happens to be Mother's Day. My mom is in Pennsylvania visiting her father who just turned 85.  Happy Birthday Grandpa! So she wasn't here, I did call her and send her a gift though. I love my mom, she is the single most humble person I know. I strive to be more like her in that way. She thinks of everyone before herself, a trait I so desperately desire. She will be home on Wednesday so I will get to see her before heading back to Austin for the majority of the summer.

I think I am going to like the book I started. I will tell you about it tomorrow. Also I'll let you know if I ended up working out. I probably won't but maybe I'll regain a sudden burst of energy as soon as I put my computer down. Who knows!?
