Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! I don't know if it's the turkey and mashed potatoes, being with my family in the little old school house, or the sales after. But I hate it when people just skip right over Thanksgiving and move into Christmas. In fact it drives my crazy that radios are already playing Christmas songs and people have put up their trees. I think sometimes that we live in a world of instant gratification. We can get what we want in an instant and we don't sit back and look at what we already have or who made it possible for us to receive these blessings. Of all the Holidays Thanksgiving shouldn't be one that we are skipping over. Each one of us has so many things to be grateful for! Even during the rough times there are little and simple things we can be thankful for. I hope that this week we all take a little time to pause and think about what we are thankful for and show gratitude to our Heavenly Father.

What I could...or actually SHOULD be doing but I'm not

Studying for the developmental psych test I have to take tomorrow.
(what happened to the idea of beginning to study a week beforehand?)
Researching Teen Pregnancy.
Making the powerpoint about teen pregnancy for my group project.
Tidying up the apartment for clean checks.
Finding a ride to IF so I can catch my ride home.
Doing my Religion Homework.
Readings and Questions for Family 100.
Going to bed before 12:30 and getting up at 6.
Organizing my Practicum Binder.

What I am doing instead...
Blogging...obviously.
Thinking about the fact that I will be home in less than 3 days.
Facebook and E-mail.
Salivating at the thought of Grandma Julie's AMAZING sugar rolls.
Checking my phone every 5 minutes to see if a certain someone has texted me.
Imagining hugging the boys when I get home...They'll act like they don't like it but inside they love it.
Contemplating a nap...
Planning what home cooked meals I want.
Making a list of all the things I have been wanting to tell my mom in person.
Talking myself into beginning my homework because I'm pretty much past the point of procrastination.

I LEAVE FOR HOME ON FRIDAY!!!! CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED?!

Happy Birthday Marisa!

Marisa's birthday was at the beginning of October but Kimberly and I promised to take her out for lunch. Yesterday, almost a month later, we finally found time that fit all our schedules to go have lunch together. Marisa chose Craigo's. We went for lunch and had the buffet. It was so good! I don't think I've ever eaten that much pizza!!! They have so many different kinds and then they have dessert pizzas. It was AMAZING!Look at the deliciousness!

I didn't get the pasta though because when I remembered it I felt I'd had too many carbs already!
Here is the dessert pizza: oreo and apple goodness...Thanks Marisa for choosing Craigo's!!! We had a great time and a lot of laughs!
