missed the boat

i realize i may have "missed the boat" for thanksgiving posts, but i would just like to say i am so thankful for my family. i have been hearing a lot of stories about people who don't really have a family, don't like being with their family, or are not on speaking terms with them. that is sad. i have a decent-sized family who loves me and i love them. it's always a good time when we all get together. i'm glad they're my friends. plus pretty much all of my unconventional wisdom comes from them. a few things i've learned are:
-what makes a good movie
-what good food tastes like (miramar, anyone?)
-what makes good music (okay, that i actually learned from experience, but my foundation of a love of music definitely came from my family)
-it is important to read the newspaper
-reading makes you smart

i also love my "family" down here. they take good care of me. on sunday's we have dinner together. on monday morning a friend made belgian waffles. on monday night the bishopric fed us. on tuesday morning a different friend made me french toast. on tuesday evening another friend made me pizza.

never fear, mom, i get almost as spoiled at school as i do at home.
peace+love

mattie-i'm glad you are a part of my family too!

brookie and sarah-food in general sounds good.

kellie-yay, i love cedar (obviously). st. george is nice too, not enough snow for me though.
miramar is probably the most authentic mexican restaurant in utah...in salt lake..if you ever get the chance, go there!
