I feel behind in my Thankful days of November. But we are now full swing into December. Maybe next year I will keep up... probably not, but three cheers for goals!
Thanksgiving was good. We went to my Uncle Darrins house and spent a few hours with them. Then we headed down to Gilberts, IL to Jimmy's Charhouse where we sat around a resturante table with my great aunts & uncles, my Grandma & Grandpa, and 2nd cousin.
It was a great meal, and great to see some faces we don't normally see. But it didn't feel like Thanksgiving. There is always next year for the home cooked meal.
The Christmas cheer is spreading like wild fire. Songs are blaring, tree's are up, lights are lit, and all the Elf on the Shelves are watching kids. I am almost done with my shopping. Just need to find something for my brother and dad. Other than that, I am done! I am very excited about the gifts I'm giving. I made a majority of them! Thank you Pinterest!!!
My semester is ending. I have two finals on Monday & I'm done. It's good to be done. It was a bit stressful at the end there, trying to get all my observation hours in for a few of my classes. It wasn't easy, but the assignment taught me some valuable lessons.
My babysitting is crazy as usual. I love my time doing it, but my goal for this month is to slow down a bit, enjoy the company of my own family and friends. Make time for "me". As hard as it is, it's good to have a break. It keeps me sane and nice.
After the new year I need to start thinking about my future plans- schools, houses, plans... it's all over whelming, but no rush and no preassure. Just breath!
Last night I went to Adam & Alex's basketball game. It really made me miss some of my high school memories. I missed watching every basketball game, I missed seeing those guys every day, I missed hanging out with them and laughing non stop. No matter how close I am to them, we are growing up and our relationship is growing. I love those boys, they are like my brothers. I am so excited for them to go off to college and play basketball on a bigger level. But a part of me is sad too, knowing that another change is going to happen in our relationship. They have been great friends and pray that we are friends for years to come, even with changes ahead.
