Turkey day
I love Thanksgiving! I ate sooo very much and I still feel full, and we ate at 6. But I had pie at 9 so I guess that is why. I am so happy to be home and to be with my family. This is the first time in awhile that it has just been the 4 of us for Thanksgiving. The weather was chilly this evening and I was so excited, last year it was 80 and I hated it because it just didn't feel like Thanksgiving.
I have been lazing around the house for the past few days. I arrived home at around 5 on Tuesday. Last night Lisa and I built a tent out of sheets in the living room like we used to do when we were little. We had sheets taped to the fan and tied corners to furniture. We put a mattress in the middle and watched movies. My sister is growing up so much, she is so mature and so intelligent, but at the same time lots of fun. I've missed her. I went running with my mom today. My Dad cooked Thanksgiving dinner. I think it is so rare that a man cooks on Thanksgiving but my Dad does when we stay home for Thanksgiving; my Mom cooks for us the whole rest of the year so he feels it's a nice thing to do. Plus, he always does an amazing job. It is so nice being around the people that mean the most.
Emily stopped by yesterday to give me my Birthday present since this is the first time I've seen her in a long time. She looks amazing, she has always been a pretty girl, but now wow. My mom told me she saw her a couple weeks ago at the store and didn't even recognize her. I'm so happy she stopped by. I plan on seeing as many people as possible in the next couple of days before I head back to school. I wish that it was Christmas already, I don't want to go back to SHC quite yet.
Life has felt really different lately. I've been so overly emotional lately and it's good for me to be home. Life feels like it's moving too fast. I've been feeling really mixed up and kinda down. Being home is good for me, helping me to sort through a lot of things and helping me to be ok to go back on Sunday.
