Reuinited and it feels so good?

So, for winter break I am supposed to be going to the Dominican Republic to spend some time with my family whom I haven't seen in too long. How excited am I? Too excited. Even though, I'm sure a lot of the time will probably be spent on my grandmother's porch or just visiting family, that is all I need right about now. To breathe the Dominican breeze and to eat my Dominican food... Ahh, what more could I ask for?

I can't wait to see my dad. My mom isn't too much of a fan of his so she doesn't really notice how important this trip is. I haven't seen my dad in 4 and a half years. The last time he saw me, I was a probably an awkward high school newbie. I am a college student now, it is about time he sees the girl I've grown up to become. It's kind of weird how we're still at the child like stages but it's because he doesn't ever see me growing up int he first place. I think this trip is really necessary because it is the only vacation I will have before senior year to actually go away. I plan to study abroad and work on my other vacations so if I don't see my family now, when will they see me, after graduation? Plus my great grandmother just hit the big 90, I'd like to see her soon just in case she doesn't make it to the later years. So, I hope this trip works out and all goes well. I want to just touch my land and feel as though I am home. Like one of my child hood bachata songs is called, "mi tierra!" meaning my land!

It's about time for a reunion and an escape from this college student life!
