It's finally (almost) here!

On Tuesday my entire family (mom and dad, 3 brothers & one sister-in-law, my wife and I, a nephew, and a foster brother) will be together for the first time since New Year's. The ten of us are staying in a cabin in the Colorado mountains for 5 nights. I have been looking forward to this get-together for MONTHS. I love my family, and it kills me when I can't be around them. Elizabeth and I are working overtime today and tomorrow to get ahead on our homework for later this week so that we don't have to spend all of our "family time" on class work.

In short, today and tomorrow might not be that fun... but Tuesday thru Sunday will probably be the best week of my year so far.
