It's A BIG Weekend

I just arrived home to my parents' house tonight. It's been almost a month since I've been home this time, and 6 years since I moved out, but it seems like every time I come back, things go back to being comfortable and the same as always. I like it.
And, it's Thanksgiving Weekend!! They are harvesting the crops around our house, smoking the tobacco in barns, the leaves are changing colours, the houses are putting up decorations, the days are getting cooler, but inside it is warm and cozy. I have two big family get-togethers this weekend, and an old friends gathering afterwards. My 23rd birthday is this Sunday, and I still get giddily excited for it days in advance.
I'm so glad to be home, comfortable, and loved.
