It's the MOST WONDERFUL Time of The Year...

Thanksgiving makes me feel really thankful, like it's supposed to.  I'm thankful for school, which I'm not sure that I've ever said (I'm also very thankful for the internet BECAUSE OF school); I'm thankful for my family, especially now that I don't see them very much; I'm thankful for my friends that are both old and new; I'm thankful for where I live; I'm thankful for church; I'm thankful that I can now listen to Christmas music without being criticized; and I'm thankful for DECEMBER!  I love having a Christmas tree up, looking at Christmas lights, and watching A Christmas Story.  And thanks to Joan for all the Christmas stuff. :)  Thanksgiving was awesome!  We got to spend it with Dad's family, which we don't get to do very often so it was tons of fun.  It the first home cooked meal I've had in 3 months and it tasted so good.  Unfortunately, it was a HUGE home cooked meal, after which I stayed up till 7 in the morning Black Friday shopping with Mom, didn't get much sleep the rest of the day, then the next time I ate was dinner Friday night.  It didn't stay down.  I promise.  BUT luckily, I didn't have to take the shuttle home.  Grandma was nice enough to drive me all the way to Rexburg, then all the way back.  SUPER CONVENIENT!  Thanks so much!  I'm glad to be back, but excited to go home.  17 days...
