So I'm finally back in Illinois! After many hours of delays on Friday, my flight finally got into O'Hare that night, and for the first time in 3 years I got to see snow! I'm loving it! I also had my first White Castle experience which was just amazing.

I love being on leave. I've basically spent all of my time so far with my family and girlfriend, and today me and my siblings are at my step-dad's house to celebrate Christmas with their family.

Well I'm off to eat, but I'm not going back to Camp Pendleton until the night of Jan 4th, so you'll see me a lot during this break. First Christmas home in 3 years! Have a happy Holiday Gamespot!
