Thanksgiving Week

This is the first year I’ve been with family in ages on Thanksgiving. I’ve had a wonderful time either having huge feasts, or enjoying a beautiful laid back day with friends. I was trying to figure out what Bri and I did last year–since she and I have spent the holiday together for the past few years–and I realized that last year I was sicker than a dog! I was alone on Thanksgiving last year!

This year, I moved my stuff from my grandma’s house to my new apartment in SLC in the morning, enjoyed a feast at my Aunt and Uncle’s house during the afternoon, and then watched Harry Potter with my brother and step-dad that night.

My wonderful family helped me move all of my crapola into my new apartment.

For the first time since February, I have all of my clothes hanging up and available to me. I have all of my stuff out of boxes. I am sleeping in my own bed. I am giddy. I might have to work 3 jobs, but having a home–my very own place to relax and just be–this is too good to be true. Words cannot describe how lovely it is just relaxing in my own bed, playing my music, and did I mention–I’m no longer living out of a suitcase!!

Currently, I have a giant pile of books in the middle of the living room. I have to figure out how I’m going to fit all the books into two book shelves. I’m going to need to get creative.

I am grateful. Very very grateful. Happy Thanksgiving all!
