11.11.11

Today has been such a great day so far!

First and foremost, Happy Veteran's Day. I am one of many who is so very thankful for our veterans past, present, and future. As many people are saying today, freedom is not free, and we can thank our soldiers for paying the price.

This morning I was so very lucky to be able to sleep in and eat breakfast in bed. I missed my TV shows last night because I was actually out and about in Columbus...Shocker, I know. It was a ball!! So, I watched my two Thursday night shows, The Vampire Diaries and Grey's Anatomy, while I sipped coffee and enjoyed a morning where I didn't have to rush, rush, rush.

After cleaning up the kitchen from breakfast, I scooted off to Wal-Mart to buy Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. This was a very bittersweet moment, seeing that this is the very last of the Harry Potter movies. I know, I know-- I'm such a nerd.

Now, as I am watching my new purchase, I am cleaning up my apartment because my Parentals are coming in town this afternoon. Tonight, I have an induction ceremony for an honor society, which I am actually excited about....I know-- Like I said, total nerd. Mom and Dad are coming to town to watch and celebrate. They are also bringing Lexi and Kooper, and I can't wait to see how the pups react to a new environment. Hopefully, Koop de Doop won't freak out too bad. Ha! I am so glad that my parents will get to meet my grad school friends, cohorts, and supporters tonight. After all, they have gotten me through this program as much as my family has. The ceremony is at six tonight, and afterwards, we are going to what I'm sure will be a fantastic dinner at Buckhead Grill. We haven't eaten there before, but the menu sounds amazing. Can't wait!

So, I have a great 11.11.11 today, and I'm sure the weekend will get even better tomorrow! We have Abigail's 2 year old birthday party. It's circus themed, and I am painting faces. It should be fun! Haha!
