Hope you all are having a lovely day, whatever that means for you today!

I feel really lucky myself to just be home and having a lovely day with my family today.. It's been a crazy couple of weeks, probably the most stressful of my short life thus far heh. This semester I'm studying abroad in Wales, but the dormitory they have me in boots us out (luggage and all) for three weeks for Spring break. So, I was going to be traveling around the UK during that time, but right as I was in the middle of making my plans for that, I received the scary news that while my mom had been into the doctor for an unrelated sinus CT scan they found an aneurysm in her brain! I was really freaked out, half way across the world, not knowing if it was treatable or not.. Then (thankfully) we found out it was, and she would be having surgery over my Spring break. We all wanted me to be home for that (Mom especially), so I cancelled my UK plans for Spring break and unexpectedly flew home to be here for that. Mom's surgery was a few days ago (the morning after I got home) and (thank everything) it went great and she's practically all already up and going again! Unbelievable. But, long and short, I am now home until the 21st (when I fly back to the UK to finish up the semester). Sometimes the best feeling in the world is just being with your family after a really long time apart and just knowing everyone's okay. So today I'm really thankful for that! Right now, nothing could make me happier.
