i'm thankful for youu

Hey, sorry I haven't written for a while. But again, like anyone actually reads this. I've been so stressed with college applications and whatnot...

Anyways, every year, we always have Thanksgiving at our house. We've had years where basically nobody comes over, we've had years where just my grandparents came over, but this year we had a ton of people. And we made a ton of food. And everything was really good. The food, the company, everything. It's just weird, because up to now I have been stressed out of my mind, making mental notes left and right, sticking sticky notes everywhere with reminders about things, making lists, working on college essays and supplements, dealing with the busy social happenings at school, etc. But today, I was disconnected from all of that. I didn't go on facebook at all, or online at all. I just talked and laughed and joked with these people I call my family. My aunts, my uncle, my cousin, my grandparents, everyone. And it made me remember why I really love thanksgiving. It's because thanksgiving is a holiday where people come together and appreciate what they have, even if they don't have much. There is no materialistic emphasis on the holiday, like there is for Christmas, and everyone comes together. I just love it. My aunt was running around serving everyone heaps of stuffing, and I got to carve the turkey :) and my sister and my dad have been cooking all day, and then my little brother and cousin shared a turkey leg and only ate a teeny bit, (this has happened 2 years in a row now...).

I'm just grateful for the people I have the chance to be close to. Those that I call my family, and my true best friends. I could make it shorter by saying that I'm grateful for the close relationships I have with these amazing people. Yeah, I think I'll leave it at that.

Joyeux Zahhnksgeeveeeng!

(As my family would say)

ps. That picture is one of my sister and I. Considering that we never get along, its a pretty amazing shot. So think about that before you judge its myspace-esque look.
