Thanksgiving

My favorite food that is served on Thanksgiving is my dad's chicken and dressing and the smoked ham that he gets made just for Thanksgiving. My dad has made this dressing every year since I have been able to remember it. It is so good and delicious. He got the recipe from my grandmother. He got alot of recipes from her. All the food she used to make for my dad when he was a child, were homemade. My grandmother made almost everything from scratch. So that is what I look forward to at Thanksgiving.

Alabama Football

Alabama Football is my favorite thing to watch. Every Saturday, I wake up, get ready, do my chores, and sit down with my family to watch the game. So far this season, Alabama is undefeated. That's great. I come from a small town in the Northeastern corner of Alabama. That would be Fort Payne, Alabama. There, everyone loves Alabama football. They are die-hard fans. They go crazy when a bad call is made, they throw things if we lose, and throw big parties if we win. This year, I feel confident in all of the Alabama team. Not just one or two players, the whole team. I hope that Alabama wins the SEC championship and goes all the way to the national title. That would be a dream come true.
Not only is the game exciting and exhilerating, it allows my family to spend time bonding together. As a family, we don't spend as much time with one another as we probably should. We are all so busy. When we all get home, we are tired and have other things to do. Luckily, the love of one sport and team can bring us together and we are able to laugh and just hangout with each other.

Thank You!

I'm writing this blog to thank all the countless Veterans that have given thier time, courage, and some even thier lives to this nation. All that you have done makes it possible for me to even sit here in school and type this blog. Whether it was fighting on the frontline, nursing the wounded, or whatever the task, you participation is greatly appreciated by many. As Americans, we celebrate the hard work of Veterans on November 11th each year. I think we should commend those who fight so bravely for our freedoms everyday. We should be able to at least say thank you to all those who willingly agree to lay down their lives for people they don't even know. That should be the easiest thing for most people on Earth to do. Yet, we find it hard to take time out of our busy schedules and say thank you. So, I am stopping what I am doing and taking time to express my gratitude for all the Veterans and current military officers serving. I am very grateful that I can drive around town, go to school without fear, and all the small things that most take for granted. I thank you for all that you do and I also thank those to come in advance for all you will do.

Thinking thoughts... What to do?

You know those people that come into your life, stay awhile, and then get up and walk out? You adjust your life because they have left and you learn to live without them and you create your own happiness. You get all settled and you become happy when all you have been was sad for the longest time. You are eventually fine.
What happens when those people come back into your life and want to be friends again? Do you just set everything aside and let them back in? Do you risk getting your heart broken again? Do you just simply take the chance and if they mess up again, its their fault? Either way you might lose and there is a possibility that you may just end up looking like a fool. The person can change and be the greatest ever, but you still remember all the bad things that have happened. You just can't seem to find the strength inside of yourself to let all those things go. You have no clue what to do and you are once again confused.
The person has called and called and asked for more chances. You have said that you will think about it and have an answer for them when you get to it. All of a sudden, the person stops calling and you wonder, do they even care anymore or are they just busy? One may never know but if you can't be there as a friend, it seems difficult to understand why they would ever be anything more than that. You are ultimately left with the choice. It may sound like a simple yes or no question. It goes much, much deeper than that. It deals with the way you feel about that person in your heart. It also depends are whether you are willing to fall apart all over again just to give this person one more chance. In the end, you are the only one who can make this choice for you. Not your friends, your parents, the person, it is all left up to you to decide where your life goes and where you end up. It's all up to you. That's why everyone says, "life is all about your choices."

Haircut!

Last Friday, I got my hair cut. It is sooooo cute. I love it! It's shorter than it was and I got dark red, light blonde, and dark blonde highlights and lowlights put in it. I wanted a new hair style that would reflect my personality. I'm very lively and upbeat. I love to socialize and be around other people. That's just how I am. My hair was great, don't get me wrong, but I wanted something that would give me life and show how I really am.
Also, it is really easy to fix in the morning and you can do many different things with it. You don't have to wear the same hair style for an entire year. You can wear it a different way for a long time. I'm big on things being different than everyone else. Why be the same when you can be unique and stand out? Think about it! If everyone in the world was the same, this place would be so boring, we would barely be able to stand it. That's just how I feel about that issue.
I also love wearing different things that most find odd. I for sure have a unique sense of style. Some like it and others don't care for it at all. It's me though and I like it. I deal with a lot of things differently than most others do. I deal with stress by laughing. I deal with crying by eating chocolate and drinking root beer. I deal with death by cuddling with a pillow. I don't dwell on things that happened a long time ago. I learn from those situations and try and avoid them in the future. I take things differently when people are mean. I always give people the benefit of the doubt. That can be a downfall sometimes too. Most times it is, but it pays off in the end a few times. I'm very unique and handle things differently. Let me know how you handle different situations.

Halloween!

Halloween is just so fun. What isn't awesome about candy and all kinds of yummy food? I love candy and the dressing up that is involved in the celebration. My friends and I dressed up as a rock group for Halloween this year. Micah was Red Robin. I was Sunny D with my guitar Rosie. Taylor was the Black Widow. We went trick or treating. After we finished that, we had nachos, cupcakes, punch, pretzels, and all kinds of candy. We also danced almost all night long. We watched movies together too. It was a ton of fun.
I don't believe in spending the whole month of October waiting for Halloween, but I do believe in celebrating it no matter what age you are. There is a point to where you have to stop trick or treating, but you don't have to give up the whole party thing too. Next year, I think my friends and I are going to just have a big costume party. I love parties. Now, it is time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and everyone likes that holiday.
