Thanksgiving Report...

Besides Thanksgiving Day itself, break was fine. I saw The Queen and Bobby, both of which was entertaining. Bobby was an awesome movie and I would highly recommend it for everyone. My mom and I went on some great walks and talk about the past, present, and future (always our favorite topics).

The actual day was less than one would desire. My dad is a completely different person on holidays, as in a bad person. He continually insults my mother, which upsets me. He made my grandma cry and go home and he blows his top for no reason. I wish he'd realize it's not about him, not that he isn't important, but holidays aren't about a specific person, it's just being grateful and being with family.

Oh well...less than a month until Germany.

Home sweet home

Seriously, I'm excited about being at home. Usually I'm stressed and just glad I'm not at school, but I really happy to be with my parents, maybe it's because I'm leaving so soon, (just over a month to departure) I'm not really sure, but I'm going to have a great Thanksgiving. I know it.

I made two pecan pies, a cinnamon coffee cake, and Thursday morning, I'm making a Greek dish that a lady from my temple makes, I hope it's as good as hers! YUM!

Oprah Aftermath!

I had a blast at Oprah. It was a LONG day, but so worth it. I got to spend the whole day with Katie, which was awesome and hasn't happened for a long while. We got to see my parents and Rick, who bought me lunch at Olive Garden! YUM!

John Mayer is so adorable in person!! Although they didn't announce it on TV, we all got the CD! I love the songs, a lot of anti-war and anti-media, even though it's not in your face annoying about it! The rest of the show was random. Dancing with the Stars interviews, a $75 million house, animal reproduction, and John Mayer...hmm...but it was live, so if you didn't get to see it Tuesday, you'll have to wait for the re-run!

OPRAH!!!!!!

On Wednesday, Katie and I are going to see JOHN MAYER on OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Rachel and Matthew

Rachel and Matt got engaged! Is it weird if I said that I was proud of them? I am happy for them of course, but proud too. I think it takes a lot of courage for a commitment and I'm proud to be able to call them my friends. Plus, I can't wait for the wedding, since I'll be wearing burgundy... =)
