Day 176

 Yesterday I was planning on coming home from family dinner at my brother's girlfriend's (it was the first time the families have really met even though they've been dating over a year) and then coming home and writing about it but we got home really late. I think that's a good thing though because it means we weren't dying to get out of there. What could have been an awkward get together was actually really nice - the food was amazing and our families really got along. 

Anyways, I've got some good news. I wanted to wait to tell you guys until I knew it was happening beyond a reasonable doubt. Sam's coming home on Wednesday and getting to stay for almost 3 weeks :) He'll be home for my birthday too, which is next Sunday for those who didn't know. It won't be like last time where I posted a few days all at once unless we take a trip again. Don't know if that'll happen but fingers crossed :)

Note: this is another one of those posts that didn't publish from my iPhone until much later. I wrote this early this morning
