Today is good! Not one of those "I found the surprise in my cereal box!" kind of good, but a "I'm going home for Thanksgiving today!" kind of good. If you've spoken to me in the past 2 weeks, or maybe just passed me on the sidewalk (sorry y'all), you will know how excited I am for this holiday. I can't stop talking about it. I've been dreaming about turkey, thinking about what bribes I can give Easton to make him like me more, looking up recipes for cheesecake (yes, mom I'll make a plain one), and fantasizing about my oh so comfy bed.
There is so much to be thankful for! My rockin' body, winning personality, stunning good looks, brain of a genius, etc, etc. On top of all of that, I am so thankful for the people that surround me. I have the BEST family and friends a girl could ask for. I feel lucky, not pathetic, when I say that a lot of my closest friends are family members. My sistercuz, Raeger, and I say all the time how glad we are that our family has such a bada$$ relationship (it's ok to use that word if I put the dollar signs, right?) Most of my friends just don't get it. "What? You WANT to drive 3 hours there and 3 hours back just to watch your cousin get engaged??" Heck YES I do! And yes, I will miss your birthday party just to go hang out with Easton, yes I will skip a trip to New Orleans for my family's Christmas, yes I will wake up at the crack of dawn to meet my family peeps in Austin for the day. None of that sounds crazy to me, but I guess to some it might. Losers.
Not only are we celebrating Thanksgiving while I'm home this week, we are also celebrating this girl's birthday! The big 2-2. Not so exciting. I can already vote, buy lotto tickets, buy alcohol...what else is there? What do 22 year olds do? They graduate, that's what. I graduate in May. What?! I feel like I just got here! Well, I guess I got here for 2 days, left for a year, then got here again, but those are just technicalities. I'm not ready to graduate! Correction..I'm ready to be done with school, but not so ready to have a full-time job. Oh the joys of growing up.
This Thanksgiving break is going to be one for the books. I'm going to try and not let the food and my obsession with Easton get in the way of giving thanks for everything that I have been blessed with. The Lord is good, y'all! Give him thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving and happy birthday to me!
-Stars out!
