Home again, Home again...

Well...like my post title says...I'm finally home again! Thanksgiving break has finally arrived and it feels so good to be home! I seriously haven't been home since the first of October and it's been longer for other girls on the hall. I love the sights, sounds, smells and just the feel of being at home in NC. Simply being home with my family and our dog, Lacy is enough for me. Why, just last night, as I was taking Lacy for a walk, I stopped and took in a nostalgic moment. The night air was crisp, but I was still warm wrapped up in thick coats and a beanie. I looked up and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and I saw a myriad of beautiful stars glittering against a dark backdrop. Nights like last night brought back so many memories, some good, some not so good. The not so good memories made me think of years ago when I would be walking the dog at night waiting on a phone call from a bad decision of relationship. Thinking of that time made me shutter, but it also made me glad that I have a relationship with a God so merciful and loving, that He delivered me from 2 years of heading in the wrong direction. Thinking of His goodness and love for me, made everything alright. As Lacy began to tug at the leash, I began to head back cold outside, but warm inside, as I looked towards my house filled with a loving family and blessings that I'll always be grateful for.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Until next time...

Superheros Galore

Ok...I was watching a movie with some of my dorm buddies, and I realized something...I now know who my two favorite superheros are! Now I know what you're thinking...nerd...well, yeah, but don't hate. I'm merely...um..unique. Yeah, that's it! Anywho, I think superheros are pretty cool, and have thought so since I was a kid. Superheros depict our inner longing for two reasons. One because we want to be like them. (I mean who wouldn't want that awesome utility belt that Batman has, Wonder Woman's lasso of truth, or Aquaman's unique ability to...talk to undersea creatures?!) (Seriously the guy is not a real superhero...I'm convinced, because everytime I look at him I think of Mermaid Man from Spongebob and E.V.I.L. haha) And Teo, because I believe superheros although flawed, point to our desire and need for a Savior, Jesus Christ...the Ultimate Superhero. Woah. Back on subject.
My favorite Marvel superhero is Iron Man. I'll admit. I never really knew much about him before the movie, but he's pretty amazing. The suit is something I would love to have in my wardrobe. Also the ability to fly at supersonic speed and blow up huge tanks with a tiny missile on your arm! Tony Stark's character is great too. He's witty and has a sense of justice and defending those his weapons once destroyed. Good for you, Tony...Can I have that old prototype you're not using?
Finally, my favorite DC superhero...no surprise...is the one, the only...Superman! I mean, he's it. How can you not like Superman?! He's the epitome of Truth, Justice, and the American Way. He stands in defense of the innocent, is selfless, and is a bright light compared to the dark vigilante-ness of Batman(who is cool in his own right.) Not only does Superman fight for justice, but his alter ego, Clark, fights it too with The Daily Planet. Clark, as well, as Superman, also has strength of heart, because of his simple Kansas background, and from what I've heard, a upbringing based on Christianity...it's principles. I'll have to look into that! But anyways, Props to Superman and Iron Man...my favorite superheros. Thanks for reading this incredibly long post...now back to your normal lives.

Until next time, thanks for stopping by...

Fatty Two by Four

Ok, so for the past couple of days I've been tired of being less than fit I shall say. In an effort to fix this problem I've been running/walking/gasping for breath and holding my side, as well as doing random workouts in the dorm like sit-ups, push-ups, lunges, and the like. After all this work, I must say...it hurts like crap, man! My butt muscles are screaming for relief, as well as my appetite for the junk food. MMM...doughnuts, ice cream, fast food,...why do you have to taste so delicious? Why can't vegetables and water be bad for you? It's the things that taste so good that are so bad for you...is this some kind of sick joke?! Anyways, enough ranting, and back to the gym/floor. Good luck all you health junkies out there and could you please let some of your self-discipline rub off on me!

Until next time...I'm Britt. You stay classy, San Diego.
