THANKSGIVING
was the best I've ever known it to be.
then again, this year was the first year we had that family reunion, so that might be part of it.
I woke up Thanksgiving morning, thinking it would be the same, old, boring like every year.
it wasn't.
first, in the morning I went to go see 2012 with my friend Sami, Ani, and her friend Melissa.
but that's not what made my Thanksgiving. though I liked it.
I knew we had a family reunion to go to that night.. but to tell the truth, I wasn't expecting much.

at the other family reunion/gettogethers, I was usually the odd one out.. the young, little cousin who didn't really talk much. I have that side. haha, hard to picture right?! er. hopefully. anyway- I was always that shy, little cousin in the corner at the family reunions who just listens on and is in her own little world. and listens to the older people, maybe talk a little bit. but that's it.

I thought it'd be the same old. just like that. me, alone. I remember one year, we were all eating, this was for Christmas. but we were eating and it was like a little oval- like thing, and we were all eating, all the cousins, that is. I don't have cousins my age, so I just hang out with the old kids. makes me feel young, but s'okay. anyway- they were all talking and I remember just listening on, wanting to talk but not doing it.

well. it was different. not so suprisingly, kind of? like. it was fun. I talked more than I thought I would.. still felt like the youngest, but who said that was ever a bad feeling? heehee, we watched movies.. played games.. it was fun.

I'm not going to go through the evening and tell you EVERYTHING that happened, but basically we watched 2 movies & played Signal for the rest of the night.

in the end, I had a lot of fun.

it was different. and for some reason, I know it'll be better, when Christmas comes.

did I ever tell you- these family get togethers are why I'm always so excited for the holidays?
& church celebrations, but the family get togethers contribute quite a bit.

I love the warm feeling when you're with family, having a blast.

that's what I'm thankful for.

my family and friends who I know are always there for me, no matter how much I think they're not.

thanks, everyone.

I know it's late, but the feelings are the same.

this is what I'm thankful for.

family.

friends.

life.
