The Three Thanksgiving feasts
That's right, THREE: uno, dos, tres. Ryan if you're reading this and found that those are incorrect spellings please be merciful. On Wednesday I'll be bringing back a tradition that I came to know and love: Thanksgiving Eve. You see, a couple years back Hunter and I used to eat Papa Murphy's pizza, particularly Chicago Stuffed Pizza, while watching Rocky 4. I loved it, and missed it dearly when we stopped having sleepovers at Grandma Barbara's place. Anyway, Garit said that he wanted to do it, or at least that he thought it was alright so we're having it. That counts as feast #1.
Feast #2 is at Grandma Barbara's house on Thanksgiving Day. Grandma Boothe said that she didn't want to have Thanksgiving dinner at their place after us having Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma's place, so she bumped it back to Friday, feast #3. It's all good, and it doesn't lessen the excitement of seeing family members, particularly Ryan and Becca on Tuesday. As I continue to say I'm looking forward to a whole weekend of "good eats".
As for school, I only have two and a half days before Thanksgiving. It's kind of feels so close, yet so far. Well I love you all and will see you all soon.

I know, I know, it's a hecka long time since I wrote all of the above, but hey, I've got motivation and I feel like I must write something. Thanksgiving Eve was awesome, as expected I stuffed myself on Thanksgiving Day, mostly with pie, rolls, and mashed potatoes although I ate my fair share of vegetables and turkey. The Second Thanksgiving was still pretty cool and one of the things that I got from that were all of the old pictures that we were flipping through. Seeing a younger Dad still bedazzles me, but then again seeing Dad in a pink jumpsuit is pretty hilarious, (Grandpa let me take the picture home. Hee hee hee). It was great, all-in-all.
About two weeks have gone by since then and for me it's back to the same old routine of school. Although, last Friday I had a new midterm, which I passed, and I'm so close to getting my second degree. It doesn't feel right for some reason, it all just feels so fast, what happened to the time between me getting my first degree and this? Anyway, speaking of time my Christmas concert for school is next Thursday, which that feels like it has gone by really fast also. Speaking of Christmas I'm working on my list, and if I push myself hard enough I can get it to you either today or next week. My list hasn't changed too much so far and I don't feel like I want so much stuff. (As I say this I'm already thinking about stuff to put on my list.)
One more thing, in my Spanish class I sat right around a bunch of avid cheaters. A couple of these cheaters are my friends in fact and for the past three + quizzes they've been getting good grades on tests and quizzes because of this cheating. I finally got fed up with it and I told my teacher. This was on Thursday, on Friday Mr. Lamont said that he "lost" our quizzes and that my side of the room had to take it again. Although there wasn't as much cheating going on there still was cheating taking place, although Mr. Lamont was keeping a better watch on the students. So I've felt like I did a courageous thing by telling Mr. Lamont, although I did feel some fear that my friends would find out. They haven't, and I don't think that they will. All right well that's my life, I still need your prayers, and I still love you all (yes even you Ryan, just kidding.)
Love,
Grant
