This year I have been fortunate enough to return to my homeland of Alaska for the Thanksgiving holiday. I have definitely enjoyed being back. The perks include:
•Free food
•Free transportation (I'm not filling up that gas tank!)
•Getting to see old friends
•Getting to see my family (Mom, sister, and dogs)
•Having some free time to think without being in a time crunch
•Free shopping trips (Let's go shopping!)
•Enjoying Alaska's great outdoors
It's nice to come home and not have to completely support myself. However, I'm looking forward to going back to Bozeman. I have realized that as time goes on, I feel more connected with Bozeman than Alaska. I have been warned of this phenomenon by my older sister, but I thought since last year I came back and everything felt the same as when I left that would continue to happen. This is not so. I'm okay with it, though. I love Bozeman and I think since I am committed to going to school for a few more years it would be good to settle in Bozeman even when there's not school.
Either way, I can't deny I like all the perks of visiting home. For instance: I just had a great, free, family Thanksgiving dinner.
I'm thankful.
