THINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR

FOR SOME REASON I WANT TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I AM YELLING THIS.

ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS AND I GET TO SEE MOST OF YOU. MOM COMES TO WATCH OUR GRADUATE CONCERT ON TUESDAY AND I AM SO EXCITED. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE SEEN ANY OF YOU AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH. YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT I WILL BE THE MASTER AT THE DART GAME.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES FROM NEW YORK. I THINK I LAUGHED THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I WAS THERE. I HADN'T SEEN LINSEY IN LIKE TWO YEARS AND IT WAS SO NICE TO REUNITE. WE MADE A DELICIOUS TURKEY AS YOU CAN SEE. THE WHOLE MEAL WAS FANASTIC AND CYRUS WON THE BEST PIE, HE WAS VERY PROUD OF IT. LINSEY AND BRIAN LIVE IN A LITTLE BROOKLYN NEIGBHORHOOD. IT WAS SO CUTE. WE WENT IN THE CITY QUITE A BIT. WE WENT TO SOHO, CHINA TOWN ( NO I DIDN'T SEE OUR MONKEY FRIEND), UNION SQUARE AND DOWNTOWN A LOT. WE WENT TO THE MOMA AND SAW ENCHANTED WHICH I THOUGHT WAS PRETTY GOOD. NYC IS FUN AT CHRISTMAS TIME, EVERYONE WAS PUTTING UP THEIR DECORATIONS. THE STORE WINDOWS WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND I THINK ONE DAY I WILL SWITCH PROFESSIONS AND BECOME A WINDOW DECORATOR.

OF COURSE I MISSED ALL OF YOU. I MISSED THE NAP IN THE PIT AND THE DINNER AT THE CHURCH. I JUST MISSED SEEING EVERYONE. WE ARE TRUELY BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH AMAZING PARENTS. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WERE SENT TO MOM AND DAD BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL I WAS.
