Sundays

I'm going to bust out this post.  I didn't sleep well last night so I'm tired and there are still a couple of things I want to do before going to bed.  It was my first day back at work after our mini vacation.  I'm not particularly looking forward to next weekend.  I got this time off but I am saddled with working seven days straight for this week.  Eh, such is life, right.  Need to earn the money and what not.

After work, Dave and I went to see Brave.  I loved it!  It was a different sort of princess movie and I have to say that I thoroughly approve with the new direction.  I'm reluctant to go into details because I don't want to give anything away as I hate it when I accidentally read spoilers.  Also, as those closest to me know, I adore all things Celtic.  The accents, the music, the landscape, the people.  I love it all.  Sometimes I wonder if there isn't a little Irish or Scottish hidden in me somewhere- there isn't but it's fun to think about sometimes.

We also joined my parents, my sister and her fiance, and my grandmother for dinner.   I enjoyed the fact that we can get together like this.  It's kind of cool really.  When I was in college I thought I'd be off exploring the world teaching English in foreign countries or working for department of defense as a school teacher for the children of the military.  In reality though, I enjoy being close to my family.  If I were to more to some far off distant country, I'd really regret not being able to visit and eat and talk.  Sure with modern technology, it's easier than ever to stay in touch but it's still not the same as actually being there or being able to share a meal and a hug.  As much as I enjoy dreaming of new places to explore, I know that wherever my family resides will be my home and I like that very much.
