Ahhhhh. Sorryyyy….

It’s taken me forever to write. Yet again. Apologizes! I will try to buckle down & get at least a weekly update if not more then that!!! I really do like blogging, its just alot of work, & I get so involved with everything I forget.

Well, anyway.
Today was Thanksgiving.
& it was boring. I know the holidays are supposed to be amazing, wonderful, and heart warming, but its none of the above. Maybe it’s because this is the first thanksgiving ever that my sister wasn’t here…..or maybe it was just not a good year. I’m not really sure. But it was pretty sucky.

There was no chaos or crazy fun like their usually is around the holidays. It was just simple, and boring. And most of the day I spent writing, reading, or watching the macys thanksgiving day parade. I did ponder a bit about what I was thankful for though……

My family. my amazing, truly wonderful family. my crazy parents. & my awesome sisters. I’m so thankful for each and every one of them.
Also my friends. My off the wall, tons of fun, keep me crazy and sane all at the same time, friends. Without them I’d honestly be the most boring person in the world. :p

I’m also thankful for everything I have in my life. And how lucky I am to have such a beautiful house over my head, people who care for me, decent quality clothing on my back, and most importantly, the option to become whoever I want to.

It was actually a few days ago when I was talking to a friend that really made me realize how important that last thing is. She made the comment that this was ‘as good as it was going to get’. And I told her she shouldn’t say that, the future can get better and brighter if you work towards it. And then she said, “that’s what makes us different. you have the option and the resources to look to the future and know its bright. i don’t.”

And although I disagreed with her and we argued for a bit afterward, it really opened my eyes to how lucky I am, and how thankful i should be.

Which is why even though this thanksgiving was boring and uneventful……
if anything I realized how much I have to get thanks for. Which I think is a pretty great thing.

Besides my lovely thanksgiving…….I have one very exciting piece of news.
My sister got engaged!!!! I was so excited when she told me and my parents on speaker phone back in October I started screaming. Haha. I am very happy for her though, she’s been with this guy for ages and it was only a matter of time, but hearing it was awesome.

Their getting married June 28th and she has been quite busy planning every teeny-tiny detail. I’m very excited to be in my first ever wedding espiecally when it happens to be for my beautiful sister! Even more exciting (well not necessairly more, just sooner excitement!), she & her fiance are coming home for christmas!!! Their flying in the 21st and flying out the 25th. It’ll have been nearly seven months since I last saw her.

& That’s about all the exciting news I have.
Oooooh wait.
Grades for first quarter came in. Straight A’s down the board. 4.0 GPA.
Definetley a positive as I’m really starting to buckle down and search for a college.

Well I can’t think of much else.
Lots of Love.
