My Grand Trip Abroad

Well.. grand yes, abroad- only in the sense that I left the US. I had a great trip... very uneventful, which, as I've discovered, is preferable. I really enjoyed being back in PEI and with my family. Sometimes one just needs family time, and since my birthday was coming up, it was the perfect excuse. My intention was to surprise my entire family- but that didn't last long since I realised I would need a way to get from Halifax to PEI. So, I told Mom and Dad. I also told Matt and Amanda since I wanted them to come too so that I could visit with them as well. Well, then Pete was in the room when I told Dad of the plan, and Rebecca had to be let in on the secret since it was odd that Mom and Dad would randomly decide to go to Halifax on a friday morning. And I realized then that it is very hard to keep secrets in my family. Oh well. I did manage to surprise Caleb and Damaris, both of whom seemed genuinely surprised. :)
I really enjoyed myself hanging out and chatting, and having fun times with everyone. I sure ate alot too (not that I'm malnourished here or anything). I ended my visit with a dessert party with homemade desserts and all of the relatives . That was fun... and yummy.
I was glad to get back to Isaac again though. He missed me alot I think. We've been back to business as usual here in the last week. Well... sort of. My work was cancelled from Tues.- Fri. because of ice on the driveway. Normally, that wouldn't be as much of an issue, but the driveway is a rather steep hill straight into the house that is our lab. Now that might end disasterously! I didn't complain though. I've had another bout of sinus infection and only today have started feeling better. My doctor says it is this area with its dry winter air. He assured me that one I move from this area, I won't have as much sinus trouble. Until then, I think I will get a vapouriser for our bedroom.
