Happy Thanksgiving...and other stuff too

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!  I hope your days been as awesome as mine has.  I got to eat dinner with my entire family and my best friend.  I got to sit around and watch Punkin' Chunkin' with my brothers and my dad.  I got to talk with my mom for more than an hour about my upcoming plans that I am super stoked about and I finally got to visit St. Jude's!!  

I am in the heart of the music capitol of the country, Memphis Tennessee, with my family and loving every minute of it!

Though the drive was intense, being around the people I love has brought a renewed hope and feeling to what's been going on.

Before this trip, I never knew how much texting a picture of my dogs to my brother or getting him an autograph would mean to him.  My mom told me that when he found out I got him Jamie Farr's autograph, he was SUPER excited!  She also told me that two days after, he waited in line to get me a signed copy of Kellie Pickler's newest album.  If you knew my brother, you would understand how strange this is for him...he does not like country music....at ALL!  He is in pain most of the time and he stayed in line to get an autograph of an artist that he knows I like, but that he doesn't.

When it comes to my brothers, I'm not very "lovey dovey" at all...we kind of have this unspoken "thing" that we have...it's actually quite hard to explain now that I actually try to explain it...

It's things like this that help me see exactly what I have...and it makes me more and more thankful everyday for everyone in my life.  They've all been so supportive in all that I've done and all that I want to do.  All of my friends and family have been there for me in fun times and stressful times too.

I want everybody to be thankful for what they have and who they have in their lives.  I know that I wouldn't be where I am today if my family wasn't by my side.

Happy Thanksgiving to all...and to all a good night! :)

Fun Fun Fun!

It's been a wonderful week this week.  I've been having an awesome time in my classes and I have plans for the next several weekends.  Nick, my brother, is getting an awesome surprise on Monday.  My brother, his girlfriend and I are going to Tennessee for Thanksgiving which will be epic for pictures.  All I know is that everything's falling into place a lot easier than a couple months ago.

Lesson here: Be excited about spending time with your family! :)

It's All Good

I am finally back in touch with the world!!  My laptop is back where it should be and now I can keep up with posting more blog posts!

On another note, my little brother's surgery was yesterday and very successful!  You gotta love the wonderful doctors at St. Jude's!

I'll update ya'll on anything else that happens.
