yes.

You're my home

Philadelphia isn't my home. It's just the place that I live.

My house is sort of my home, but now it feels more like the middle ground between where I am and where I'll be a year and a half from now.

I'll be spending Christmas with Jesse this year at Camp LeJuene in a barracks and I have a feeling that it's gonna feel more like a home than anywhere else.

I cant wait to be eligible to apply for on base house housing.

Come to me now you know we're so low and life is brief.

Well, since tumblr is down (which is what I've been blogging with since I came to college.... www.lyricsonpostcards.tumblr.com :) It's dumb, so don't expect something profound) I figured I'd write on here for a little. I'm on the phone with Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I just found out who my little sister is. Her name is Kayla, which I'm pretty happy about. She's in 7th grade and she's a tomboy that loves horseback riding, kayaking, and talking. I'm so excited. I meet her on Wednesday.

It is almost Christmas, and I've picked out the best gifts in the whole wide world for everyone. Jesse's gifts are wonderful...I'd post what they are but I don't want him to find out. It's all top secret, you know. I know what I wanna get everyone else, I just have to go get it. I'M SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS!!! The costume mistress at my school is making me a beautiful dress with red silk taffeta material from a vintage 1954 vogue dress pattern. Hopefully I'll get to try it on today. I'm so excited. This is my first Christmas with Jesse so I want it to be special. It could also potentially be my last Christmas with Jesse, since I just found out a week ago he's going to Afghanistan in September. I try not to think that way though.

Speaking of Wednesday, it'll be the 30 year anniversary of John Lennon's death. Its only $8 to take a bus to NYC and I wanna be at strawberry fields for the memorial service that night. However, I have nobody to go with and I'm not going alone.

I'm really excited for Christmas break. I'm so excited to be with my friends and family and Jesse. I can't wait to bake Christmas cookies and wrap presents and drink eggnog and fall asleep in Jesse's arms. I am counting down the days....
