My First

I freakin heart Thanksgiving. And it makes me feel a little bit guilty that I heart it more than Christmas. I am way stoked for this one. But a little sad at the same time. It's my first major holiday not with the fam. It was my choice, and one I don't really regret, but I can still be a lil bit sad, right? It's going to be awesome anyway! I'm spending it with a former roommate(s?), and the new addition to the family...the kitty cat! 

I love looking back at my week and seeing all the awkward moments I have. Awkwardness pretty much is my life! But it's really not so bad...it gives a girl lots of moments to laugh. And some good stories to share. Which makes me realize how awesome my life is right now. I think I need to remember that more often. I mean, really, what do I have to NOT be thankful for? Sure, I have a few struggles, but they're really just opportunities to strengthen relationships with all the important people in my life. 

I really wish I wasn't so afraid of certain relationships, though. I have a friend that has been especially nice to me lately, and I don't really know how to take it. I just don't do well with the awkward position of friend or more? I can't help it...flattery makes me weary. But enough of that. 

Time for friends, food, and fun! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wow! That's all I can say. haha Just kidding, I'm a talker! I haven't been this unbelievably happy in a long while. It feels great. As my dad would say, I'm getting out of "my funk". The past couple months have been a little rough, with some spontaneous cries at really awkward times, some ignoring/avoiding people I love so I could make it through my own struggles. Fortunately, I have some of the bestest friends ever...my VT girls. It's so nice knowing they've got my back. I hope they know I'm always there for them, too!

Last week was so weird. I started it by heading back to good ol' LC for a little birthday present concert for Sister...she better love me! haha It was awesome, and I cried on her shoulder while she laughed at me. Good times. Oh, another great part was when I picked up my little man from school. He was playing with his friends and I walked over unnoticed and said "Hi Little Man" and he looked up super surprised and almost hyperventilated! haha 

I voted in my first presidential election...with my little brother. Yeah, he turned 18 and it made me feel really old (which I'm NOT!), and I totally forgot that we would be voting together. It was crazy, and insignificant as it seems, I think it will be one of those fun memories we randomly text to each other. 

And this weekend was absolutely amazing! I watched a movie with a friend, and when I told another friend that he automatically assumed it was a guy, which made me laugh. Saturday I got a little down time, which is probably what I needed. And Sunday I was reminded that I'm a big fat liar, and that I need some values...I guess that's why the EQP made sure to find a New Era for me. But then I got to have a nice long chat with my little friend who is slowly dropping off the planet. And I guess Monday isn't actually part of the weekend, but it was crazy! I'm not quite sure what the F stands for anymore...
