this coming weekend

This upcoming weekend I am making my first trip home of the year. This will be the first time I'm going home this year, and although it's rather soon, I couldn't be happier. My best friend from when I was born basically all throughout high school, is pregnant and due October 9th, so this weekend is her baby shower! I didn't get to see her all summer so I haven't seen her pregnant yet, and I am really excited. She is so small, and I can only imagine her with a big ol' belly on her now. Although she is only 19 years old, she is very happy and cannot wait for the birth of her baby girl, whom she's going to name Savannah.
This weekend is also going to be exciting because my brother is coming to pick me up from school. My brother has been up here once, in the past year and he only came to see my game then left right after. Hopefully he can see my dorm this year and what not. I consider my brother and I very close. We get along always now a days. Although we pick on each other non-stop it's all for laughs. My brother is very important to me! Ever since I was little I wanted to exactly like him, and now I still look up to him. So getting to see him this weekend when I'm home and spending two hours in the car with him is very exciting.
The third reason why I am very excited to go home this weekend is because my dad and brother coach a hockey team in Brockport, the team is a Midget Major team. The guys are ages 15-17. I helped coach these kids all summer and I have been lost since I've been here not getting my daily dosage of laughters. Last year my dad told me how great of a team they were and how they were awesome kids and this summer I finally got a chance to see why. They were my life over the summer and it's hard not skating with them every Monday and Wednesday nights. I can't wait until I become a coach someday. :)
