This past weekend I was able to go home for a wedding Friday night. It was so nice to see all my extended family (the picture is just of my mom's side of the family). I haven't seen them in quite a while. We probably see each other more than most family considering I'm referring to my second cousins and their kids who I only see around five times a year. The reception was beautiful and the music was great. We danced for hours. It was just great to be around everyone, not worrying about what needed to be done the next day or next week. Everyone was just happy for my cousin and her new husband and the changes they were about to experience. I was able to learn about what was new in everyone's lives that I now miss out on. Unfortunately though, I did have to go through the "How's college? Are you enjoying being away?" conversation about 20 times. Once the night was over, it was great to collapse in my own bed. Sadly, the comforts of home were short-lived since I was back at Purdue for the game on Saturday afternoon. This time I was hanging out with some of my dad's family. All in all it was an exhausting, but good weekend!

I love weddings. And i love getting together with family, so i am very jealous of you! But it looks like you had a good time :-)
I actually am going home this weekend for an engagement party and it freaks me out. My cousin is getting married and he isn't much older than I. I am excited for the party and reception but it just seems like life is creaping up in a time where were supposed to feel really young. I watched some tv show on MTV the other day and it was all geared towards 16 year olds like I missed my window or something. It was pretty scary stuff but I guess we gotta grow up sometime.
