My Week

The past week has been interesting, but good. Starting off the week last Sunday, I prepared for spirit week. I made shirts for class color day which was Monday and then pep rally which was Tuesday. On the day off on Wednesday, I babysat all day and finished off the day going out to dinner with my grandma, uncle, and three cousins. After I got home on Wednesday night, I helped my mom prepare for our Thanksgiving dinner. Thursday morning, Thanksgiving, I spent helping my mom cook. We then filled up the car with a whole bunch of food and headed to my aunt and uncles house. As we waited for everyone to arrive, my uncle and I watched one of my favorite movies, The Blind Side. It is so inspiring and always leaves me wanting to make a change in someone's life. After the movie was over, we all had a huge Thanksgiving feast together. As tradition, we went around the table and stated things we were thankful for. I am thankful for my family, friends, and health..This week there was a death in my family, only making us more appreciative of each other and life as a whole. It is very sad that it is often not until something bad happens that we open our eyes and see how fortunate we are. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, but in my opinion, we should be thankful for all that we have everyday.  Friday morning I woke up early and went shopping. It wasn't that crazy and we were able to get some very good deals. After shopping, I went to get a hair cut and then headed home to get ready for vdance. Vdance was fun and I had a very good time. Today was very relaxing and I finally got to go see Breaking Dawn. It was a great movie and I can't stop thinking about how much I loved it. Tomorrow we plan on spending the day decorating for Christmas. This is my favorite time of the year and I look forward to the upcoming weeks.
