My Four Day Weekend.

Wednesday
My four day weekend wasn't anything that special, but special enough to make me not want to come back to school.  My four day weekend began on Wednesday afternoon.  On Wednesday,  I basically just went home and slept and watched movies with Brandon. 

Thursday
 On Thursday,  well it was Thanksgiving of course!  For me, this Thanksgiving was a busy one.  I started out by going to my Grandma Sue's with the rest of my dad's side of the family, along with Brandon.  I ate a lot of food and played with my baby cousins.  After that,  Brandon and I went to his house and spent some time with his family.  At his house, we watched the Lions football games, and also looked at ads for the Black Friday sales!  Then, we left his house and we went to my Grandma Jans' to visit with my mom, grandma, and grandpa.  We ate a little more food there, and just sat and talked.  After that,  Brandon wanted to start his Black Friday shopping around 6 pm! So, I dropped him off at Walmart, then headed back to my Grandma's to watch my baby cousins.  Which pretty much ended my day. 

Friday
Friday,  I headed to Toledo for my own Black Friday shopping.  However, unlike many others I am first starting when others are getting done.  But I still got some good deals, and got most of my Christmas shopping done.

Saturday
 On Saturday, Brandon and I went over to my aunt and uncle's house for a huge Michigan vs.  Ohio State party!  It was fun, however I was quite disappointed that Michigan lost.  Later on that night Brandon and I went to the Adrian College hockey game with my mom and sister.  That was quite exciting!

Sunday
Sunday,  I pretty much slept my day away.  I slept all day, and then ate dinner.  After eating dinner, my sister wanted to have a "family game night" so my whole family went downstairs and played a bunch of different games.  We shared a lot of good laughs.

And that concludes my four day weekend :)

Thanksgiving

To me, Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday season.  It is a day to remind you all of the things you need to be thankful for, and cherish them.  I am especially thankful for Thanksgiving this year, because last year on Thanksgiving, I had the flu.... so I didn't get to spend time with my family or eat any yummy food.  On Thanksgiving, I always go to my Grandma Sue's with the rest of my dad's side of the family; which is just, my mom, dad, sister, aunt, uncle, and two cousins.  We usually eat regular Thanksgiving food: turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cheese potatoes, mac and cheese, rolls, a million different kind of pies, and the list goes on.  The past traditions that my family usually celebrates is after eating a big meal, we all watch "Christmas Vacation."  However, this year I think Thanksgiving will be a little different.  We celebrate Thanksgiving because we are thankful for all that we have and it is when new land was found and an exchange was made between the pilgrims and the Indians.

Election!

Well it's that time again, the presidential election!  If I could vote this election, I would vote for Obama.  I would vote for Obama, because I believe for the past 4 years of his term he has done a good job.  Obama has accomplished a lot and I believe he will help our country progress with 4 more years in office.  I wouldn't vote for Mitt Romney because I feel as though some of the things he is trying is out of his own concerns.  I feel as if he is trying to take certain rights away from people due to his beliefs, not for the other 7 billion people in the world.  One of the proposals is for the Health Care Reform. President Obama has provided Obamacare and wants to keep it going with a few minor changes.  Obama's goal with Obamacare is to stop insurance company abuse, and provide free preventive care.  Mitt Romney on the other hand, wants to repeal Obamacare ASAP!  Romney wants to give each state the power to pick health care that benefits the state individually.  With this being said,  I favor Obama in his choice of Obamacare continuing.  Also, I really dislike all the commercials and mailings, just because there is so many and it annoys me.
