Rarely funny.
And what do you know? I’m 24 now. I haven’t been home for a few birthdays in a row, this one being no exception. But I was blessed to have not 1, not 2, but all 3 of my siblings come visit me for my birthday.
Some of the highlights of the trip were:
I love you Maura, Allen, and Audra!
First Easter away from immediately family. Missed them, but spent time with some wonderful people.

I don’t want to jinx anything, but I’m fairly optimistic that the Nashville Predators are going to make it to the second round of the NHL playoffs, which will be the furthest they have ever made it. Fingers crossed.
And even if they don’t, I’m still having a very good week. Even though this weekend will be the first Easter that I will not be spending with my immediate family, I’m still looking forward to it as I get to see both sides of my extended family. And lemon cake, there will be LEMON CAKE!
And at sundown on Saturday there will be ice cream. Ice cream, I have been missing you something fierce.
Dear readers, I am curious if you gave up something for Lent, what it is, and how you will be enjoying it for the first time when Lent is over?
This year marked my first Thanksgiving that was not spent at home with my family. I was working. I wish I could have been home. I want one of those jobs where the office is always closed on holidays.
This past weekend my mother, father, and sister Audra got on a ferry boat and came to see me. Because I’m the best daughter ever, I hooked them up with a sweet suite at my hotel.
The best features of the room were:
Then I put them on back on the ferry. I was sad!
Now I will wait until someone else decides to visit me!
My father wanted to me to make it very clear that I am not a Patriots fan, and the glass on the table in the pictures from my birthday party was in no way indicative of my athletic allegiance. Sorry Aunts Kathy and Penny.
My father also wanted to make sure of something else.
“Is Will a Patriots fan?”
“I don’t know Dad, I don’t think so.”
“Good, that’s test one.”
I am not sure that words can even express what I feel for the five individuals I am honored to call my family. And let me say first, that the occasions in which my family and I express our feelings are few and far between. But I have been away from them for almost a week now, and I have some FEELINGS, dammit. I just want to say a few words to each of them on this here bloggity blog.
Wow, these started to sound like Senior memories. Funny, yet-upsetting-to-me story, my Senior memories never got put in the yearbook. FAIL, yearbook staff, big time FAIL!
