My Thanksgiving Blog! (Its Late i know!)

So i thought i better type my thanksgiving blog.

I am sooo thankfull to have my Family in my life. I think about how my mom has been my rock through my parents divorce and staying be me and sid. As my dad dropped us from his life (almost). To trying to provide for us by having odd jobs and now not having one at all she still tries. She always does stuff for us and not for her, We come first. If i didnt have her in my life i dont know what i would do shes my best friend.

Which brings me to Sid. He can be a BIG pain in my butt. Being a jerk and a know-it-all. Sometimes i even dislike him. But I am thankful i have him. I almost lost him when i was 16 when he wanted to commit sucide but he didnt. Even through his mean times he's always there for me. And wants to kick my exes butt still. He always knows when something isnt right. And im glad were close

Now for my Grandma. What a blessing it is to still have her. I grew up always going to her house and going horseback riding as my grandpa leaded. She right now is helping us get by and paying for alot of things for us even though she didnt have the money but somehow she does. I love my grandma shes the best. Im glad i have my go fish buddy!

My Aunt Lori. What Can i say we bump heads alot, mostly at the cabin. But im very glad we have her. In November of 2005 she got a cough that wouldnt go away. We then noticed that she was lossing weight VERY fast. They did multiple tests and they found nothing. One of the test they found out she was bleeding eternaly. She then went to a gyno and had him do some test. In May he decided to give her a histerectomy. The day of the surgery i had to go to my dads so he could get the pics he wanted of my senior pics. When i got back to the hospital she BARELY came out of surgery and when i got there i was told that Lori had Ovarian cancer and that she was lucky that she was still alive. The tumor was the size of a football and was hooked on to one of her intestines which resulted in the bleeding eternaly. She went through chemo. But she forgets alot. Shes also retired now and she bought a 4 wheeler to take to the cabin.

And then my Aunt Kris. Wow she has done soo much for me. She bought clothes for me for years and then i got pickey haha. She wasnt able to have kids of her own so me and sid are hers. Every weekend when i was younger i would go shopping with her. That was our thing. She is helping me pay for my cell phone bill. And also helped pay for mine and sids dentist bill. She lets us drive my uncles truck( he died in 03). Im so thankful for her.

And im very thankful to have my friends in my life and to have the oppertunity to be an aunt to Manda's child Skylar what a child! To Suzannes girls Sydney and Rachel the cuttest girls! And Laura's Child Arlo who i get to watch what a spirt that kid has. Im soo happy i get to be with him. And to everyone else im glad i can call you my friend.

This christmas will be a change we wont be getting much for presents. But we will have each other and love for one another. Hopefully this year we get to do one of our new traditions. Go get in lori's car and drive around looking at christmas lights. Lori and I started this and soon eveyone else joined. I think lori goes so she can get new ideas for christmas lights the next year. Our other tradition is watching White Christmas. Which is usually Grandma mom and me. But who knows. So now that i have done my crying! I hope everyone has a wonderfull Holiday Season!
