Thanksgiving Break Update

It's been a few days (or more) since I posted on my blog so I have a few things to talk about. I will number them because I like to organize my thoughts.
1. Happy (late) Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone had a wonderful day and break. My dad's side of the family came over to our house for Thanksgiving lunch. My mom's parents also came. We had a good time catching up and eating lots of food. On my dad's side, we have 5 cousins. I am the only one of the 5 that does not have a significant other. I was definitely worried about when the "boyfriend" conversion was going to take place because both of my grandmas seem to bring it up every time I talk to them. We made it all the way through lunch and dessert, even a little break before my Mawmaw asked me about getting a boyfriend. My response was "I'm glad it took you 'til 4 o'clock to ask me about this!" Much laughter ensued and then my dad said something along the lines of she doesn't have time for a boyfriend and the subject was dropped. That was the fastest I ever escaped the subject and for that I was very thankful (pun intended)!
2. Things that I am thankful for: everything. That may seem like a cop out answer but I am thankful for everything God has put in my life whether it is awful or awesome. I'm thankful for the struggles because they only make me stronger. I'm thankful for the bad days because they make the good days that much better. I'm thankful for all of the people who have come into my life over the past 20 years. I'm thankful for my family and friends. I am thankful for everything (although I don't say it as often as I should).
3. I have been back from Minnesota for 2 weeks now and I have encountered a few people who tell me that I am an inspiration to them. I am sorry if I ever seem awkward in that situation. I just don't know how to respond because I am not looking to be an inspiration, I am just trying to live the best life possible. I am happy that I can inspire people in any way, shape, or form but I am still getting used to that thought.
4. Yesterday I went fishing with my dad, my uncle, and my cousin in Pointe La Hache. I had a blast with them! Here is your shoutout, Uncle Carey!! We caught 99 speckled trout, 5 red fish, 1 bass, and Uncle Carey caught a perch! We probably caught another 50 redfish that were too small so we had to throw them back. All in all, I had a great time and caught a ton of fish! Hopefully we will go back sometime over the Christmas holidays.
5. I am starting to feel a little bit better. All of the things that I have to do make a difference. I can especially see it when I don't do something, such as not getting enough sleep or not drinking enough water. I think I will really start to see a difference over Christmas Break because I will have had about a month to adjust by then as well as I will have less on my plate. I will keep y'all updated on my progress!
6. I still have a bunch of homework and assignments to do before the end of the semester in less than 2 weeks so I should probably get on that!
Until next time,
A :)
