Yay for a break!

Well, after homecoming week, I think everyone was a little worn out and in need of a break. Which is why it was nice to have a three day weekend this last weekend. I stayed Friday night to watch the last home basketball games of the season on Saturday. Both teams played close games that both went into overtime!
After the games, I headed home to see my family. I hadn't been home since Christmas Break, and my youngest sister, Megan, was dying to see me. When I got home, she met me at the door and helped me carry all of my laundry in (Mom loves that I don't do laundry when I know I am going home soon). After I got all of my stuff put away, Megan ran up to me with a gift. She had put together a special Valentine for me. I opened it to find a whole bunch of Valentine's Day candy and later found out that it was all the candy she had received at school and didn't like :). But it's the thought that counts, right?
On Sunday, Mom and I got up and went to church, and then took my sister to her AAU volleyball tournament in Hinton, Iowa. The girls played well, but couldn't quite pull it off in the end. They ended up getting 2nd, which qualified them for the Gold Tournament in Indianola, Iowa for the second time. (They got first in a tournament a couple of weeks ago, so they were already qualified.)
By the time Mom and I got home, it was about 7:30. We made supper, and I did laundry. Before I knew it, my weekend was over and I was heading back to the Mount again!
Until Next Time,
Erica
