family fun night

as i spend all day getting ready, running around and gathering all items needed for my fun new adventure.  i come home to a wonderful bell family tradition "wine time" it is a great time for gathering on the porch and enjoying the company of the family . well as luck would have it being my last night it was quite a special occasion. 

as my mom fell two glasses into the night and my sister cracked opened a bottle of obscenely sweet riesling i new i was in for a treat. we always get into addressing the events of the day however tonight we decided it was going to be family fun night and in the case of our family that normally involves a board game and tonight it is numble. 

for those who unfamiliar with the game is is number scrabble where all numbers must ad up to a number divisible by three. around here we have an odd since of fun but it works. at this point my sister and my father are lit and my mother could swear the room was swimming.  luckily i was the sober one this evening and i can record what all was going on.

we decided to order pizza and the drinking continued my sister was in a strong lead from the get go and I was close behind. my mother who has fallen asleep at the table with her head in her hand and my father was announcing to the world how this was so not the game he wanted to play. my sister was now excessively announcing and challenging every score it was time to finish out the game. i laid down my last four tiles and that was it i had won the game. both the rents proclaimed there joy and i have to relish in the joy that this was my family and I really would not change it for anything. 

through all the nerves and emotions that i am going through leaving my friends, family, and all the students in the dallas area that i had left behind i had to know that this new adventure is where it is at. i am ready it is my time to see the world and take on what is to come. bring it on world i am ready.
