Nothing is better

than sitting on the couch at home with two labrador retrievers snuggling at your feet. Yes, I'm finally home!

I finished my finals yesterday morning and the original plan was that Mom was going to pick me up from school today after work. But I finished my finals and called my dad and I went home! The real reason was because my mom just had a big birthday and there was a surprise party last night with the ladies from the neighborhood. Initially I didn't think I'd finish on time, but when I passed in my finals, I knew I had to come home because I knew it would make my mom very happy. So after unloading my stuff out of the car, I stuffed it all in my closet so it looked like it was empty and then went and hid at my neighbor's house. Around 7:30 my mom walked in the door (thinking it was only drinks with my neighbors and maybe the wife's sister) and was completely shocked to find most of the neighborhood in the kitchen. She burst into tears to see everyone, then looked at me and was even more surprised! She thought I was still at school! I guess I get best daughter award :)
