Thanksgiving thoughts.....
Well….I haven’t updated in a while so I figured that I should put my two cents in about my thanks for the holiday season. It’s kinda sad that it sometimes takes the holidays for you to remember how thankful you are for everything, but here it goes.
This year, I am so very thankful for my family and caring friends. I got to spend 2 nights with my aunt and uncle, something which hasn’t happened on a holiday for a good 20 years, and also spend time with my 95 year old grandpa who gets more excited over sleeping than I do. Of course I also got to spend time with my parents and sister, which was fun.
I’m also very thankful for having such wonderful friends. It’s amazing how getting a simple voicemail wishing you a happy thanksgiving from somebody you’ve known a long time and somebody you’ve known only a short time can have such an effect on somebody and their family. So, I am very thankful for those who were so kind to leave wonderful messages on my phone :) In addition, I’m thankful for being able to spend time with my friends-friends that I’ve been able to see lots of recently, and friends that I haven’t been able to see for years. Last night about 16 of us decided to venture down to the east side to go to a bar on North Avenue (Judge’s…if you know it). We went there cause our friend, Joe, is a bouncer there. So, not only was I able to see Joe, but I was also able to spend time with old friends. As I was leaving my house with Kristy and Mo, all I could think about was how it was going to be so weird seeing some of these people. Though it was a bit weird hanging out with 16 people (something I haven’t done since junior year of high school), it was also so much fun. We definitely took advantage of the night and were out until 4 in the morning (oddly, my parents weren’t mad and didn’t call, which was cool). Anyway, it was so cool being able to hang out with Charlie and Mo, two of my bestest friends from when I was 3 years old. I usually see Mo around the holidays, but I haven’t seen Charlie for years. It was so good being able to talk to him and see that, despite the fact that I haven’t seen him for years and we really don’t know anything about eachother, that he would still be there for me no matter what. Those guys mean so much to me :). Moving on, my sister ran into Scott today. He said that he’s been thinking of me the past few days every time turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce has come up, something which surely makes me feel good :).
Anyway, the point of this whole long entry (and yes, this is very long for me), is that this has been a wonderful thanksgiving, just in remembering how thankful I am for having such wonderful people in my life. Though there are many times that these people are annoying because they try to control my life and tell me what is and is not good for me, I know that in the end they are only doing it cause they truly care about me and my well being. And it is these people that I am truly thankful for.
and omg...I can't forget Shannonz....thanks for being the bestest, cutest, kindest, funnest, and happiest friend ever :-D
And Ali...eventhough you're on "strikle"....I'm so very thankful for you too. Again, thanks for tonight! :=P
