Countdown to Thanksgiving in SC with all of my siblings: 9 days.
This will be the only time that all of my siblings and their families we be together this year. It only happens once a year, so it's a pretty big deal. My brother and his family will be in from Brazil, another brother and his family will come in from Utah, my brother will come down from Baltimore, and the other brother will come in from Myrtle Beach. And, Ben and I will go down from NC. My older sister already lives in Chapin, and my other sister will be there from Spartanburg! I am soooo excited, especially to see all of the nieces and nephews! They are so cool and so much fun to hangout with.
Countdown to Christmas in SC: 39 days.
No explanation needed...it's Christmas, enough said!
Countdown to GRADUATION!!!! 174 DAYS
The day we have worked and waited for will finally be here. It's been years in the making and on May 9, 2010, Ben will finally be done with school! Hallelujah!
Then we move to SC after that, which is very bittersweet! I never thought I would say that because I couldn't stand Chapel Hill when we first moved here. But now it's our home. It's the only place Ben and I have called home as our little family. We've made some fabulous friends here and, as crazy as this sounds, this place feels more like home than any other place. It's always nice to go to SC and visit our families, but, after a few days, I'm ready to come back to our house and our space. I know I'll adjust and come to love Columbia again, especially since our families are there, but I think a little piece of me will always be in Chapel Hill. Not because this place is any more special than any other place, and it's definitely not because of UNC (I honestly couldn't care less about that). It all has to do with the people...our friends. Thankfully, we still have 6 months before we move. And I think I need to get back to work and quit being so sentimental! :)

The Sky is Falling!!!
Not really, even though it has been raining nonstop the past couple of days. Trees are actually falling! A couple of weeks ago, a tree on campus fell and two people were hurt. Yesterday, I heard this loud bang but didn't really think anything about it. A few hours later I got a call from the grounds department saying "You might have heard that a tree fell on Saunders Hall (my building is kind of perpendicular to that one. Luckily, the tree fell on the other side of the building from my office). No one was hurt, but the grounds crew will be working on it tomorrow morning early. If it gets too loud, please call us." So, that explains the loud bang I heard, and it really is amazing that the building wasn't damaged and no one was hurt. I guess it's good the weather was crappy yesterday and no one was hanging outside the building. I took a picture with my cell phone, so I'll have to add it later. My boss says they are probably going to cut down some of the old trees around, which would be SO SAD because the trees are what make this campus sooooo pretty. I may not be a huge UNC fan, but this campus is really pretty! The grounds crew has seriously been working all morning, and I still hear the beeping of the trucks and humming of the chainsaws. So, if you're walking around campus, watch out for the trees!
