Thanksgiving Day!

I am so excited for Thanksgiving Break! Tuesday afternoon cannot come fast enough. I am so bummed the Mount is having classes this week though. Most schools I noticed started their Thanksgiving break this past Friday. I feel that only having classes for two days is a waste of time. Lots of students skips these two days of class anyways, so the number of students in class is less than normal. I would have skipped my classes this week, but one of my classes I have on Tuesday is having one of the most important classes of the semester. I would rather be prepared for an upcoming presentation than blow off class to have a couple more days added onto my Thanksgiving break.

My plans for Thanksgiving break are pretty laid back, but I am so excited to go home and see my family and friends. I basically have my whole week planned out already! I am going to a happy hour with all my girlfriends from home on Tuesday. I haven’t seen some of these friends in months! It will be great to catch up with them. For Thanksgiving Day, this year will be different than other years. Half of my siblings are moved out of the house and two of the three are unable to make the journey up to my house for Thanksgiving since they live far away. One of my Brothers lives in Annapolis with his wife, and they will be coming over for part of the day on Thanksgiving. But for most of the day it will be my two younger sisters, my parents, and I celebrating together.

I have never been black Friday shopping and I made a plan to go for the first time ever this year.  My parents decided last week though that we would travel down to see my sister on Friday to visit her. So my plans of going black Friday shopping have been pushed back until next year, which is perfectly fine! I am SO excited to see her, but kind of nervous traffic is going to be bad since it is the day after Thanksgiving. My sister is married and has three adorable kids. They are so much fun to be around and I have not seen them since the Summer time.

Thanksgiving is such a nice and laid back holiday. Family means more to me than anything in this whole world! I feel that Thanksgiving is a great day to appreciate my family and everything I have. I am so blessed. I am so thankful for the family and friends I am blessed with in my life. Although it is going to be a quieter Thanksgiving than in the years past, it will definitely be one for the books.
