Giving thanks

I think the most obvious place to start is by thanking my parents. They have supported me in almost every way this year. They have paid for my rent/bills for the house I live in. They have flown out to CA just to take three little kittens home. They have listened to me during one of the toughest times of my life and not once told me to stop talking about the subject (which I would have after the first couple of hours). Or helped me when I lost my word program when I had papers I needed to work on. They make it very clear even though I'm not in the same state I can always call (though they prefer if its before or after 1-4 AM). When my computer broke and I had two papers (again) due the next week they got me a new one ASAP. They are all you can ask for in parents and more.

I guess the next logical ones to talk about are my siblings. We don't talk much (we are all busy) but each of you differently has helped me over the year in one way or another. Miss you guys and I look forward to winter break.

L J and C. You guys make me happy! Waking up to pictures of C is great and L I'm so happy you found someone who makes you happy with J.

As I seem to say every time I write a blog post I have amazing friends here. I would like to take a paragraph and thank them (though they don't read this but everyone should know how great they are). If these people weren't in my life I think everything this year would have been 24893028 times harder. But the constant support I got from people was the difference. They have helped make the transition from relationship to single so easy for me and I can't thank any of them enough for that. This has been one of the best years of college for me and I'm only half way through!

Now for none people thankfulness. The opportunities I have been given in my life have shaped who I am today. Being home schooled taught me a lot (especially the last two years) for what it takes to make what you want in life a reality. Nativ was probably the greatest single year of my life and taught me a lot about myself as a person and a Jew. The college I picked might not be the greatest (but thats another post) but it was an easy transition from home school to a school of that size. My teachers know me and especially for the first year were watching out for me and that was just so helpful. I'm thankful to be single and really just have the time to hang out with friends and rediscover myself and to have a better idea of what I'm looking for in a relationship moving forward.

And back to people. I would just like to thank all my aunt, uncles and cousins who have also affected my life and helped to make me the person I am today.

I hope everybody has a happy thanksgiving!
