Time spent with family

After I was done with my two oral finals, I packed up the bags and got back home for dinner on Monday. This past week has been spent getting back to normal sleep patterns and catching up with some friends. Even though I am home for a couple more weeks, it is great to spend time with family and to have everything done. There have been breaks where I go home and am not entirely rested when I get back to the seminary, but such is life, and this one is different. This weekend my brother, sister-in-law, and niece came to visit and although it was short, it was good to see them. Also, although my niece was a little sick throughout the whole weekend, we managed to have some fun playing pool and just being outside to enjoy the weather. I am glad not to have to drive four hours to go back to school, and I am even more glad to be able to get to some reading that I have not had the time or energy to get to. I also have to do some chores, but it'll keep me busy until I go away for my summer parish assignment.
