Sorry guys it's been a while since I last wrote a blog, a month exactly to be precise, so I thought it was time to get into the habit once again. A lot has happened over the past month, far too much for me to put in one blog so I'll do two :)
Being home was amazing. I had a fantastic time seeing everyone and spending time with my family and all of my friends. We had a lovely quiet Christmas in Liverpool with the grandparents and my family which was awesome to be with them again after 5 months or so. I got lots of nice presents but my personal favourite was some junior bagpipes form grandpa which are quite amusing to say the least! Next was New Year which was just as exciting because the whole family was coming. Robin, Megan, Christopher, Rebecca and Megan's boyfriend Tyler all came over from North Carolina. Also the Beales came back to Liverpool after being away for Christmas which was awesome because I never feel it is Christmas without getting to play with Josh's lego on the days after Christmas. Oh and also the lovely Claire Smith came with me for New Year also which was very exciting for me.
We did so many things all together and had a fantastic time, which included lots of shopping, going to football matchs (my fave), playing cards and so many other things which was great fun. My dad, Christopher and I went to watch Leeds vs Middlesbrough and this was great because it had been so long since I had watched a live REAL football match.
After New Year we dropped Claire off at home and picked up Mr Ben Hutton who came to the Carnaghan household for a night to have some fun. And when I say fun, I mean playing a great deal of PS2 games. Heroic banter. Then the next day we went for tea at Rob Walkers house where the master chef himself had decided to cook for us... I must admit it tasted far better than it looked. No offence Robby we love you :). I then spent the next few days with Claire, which was amazing getting to see her again before I had to leave.
I always knew leaving again would be hard but I didn't think it would be as hard as it was. After just settling back in with all of my old friends and girlfriend it was such a shock to have to leave it all so soon. However, luckily I wasn't being sent into prison or anywhere, I was being sent back to the best time of my life over in Atlanta and I knew that many more life long memories were about to be made.
God Bless, Andrew x
