My thanksgiving weekend was absolutely amazing! I went home Wednesday afternoon around 3, I was jealous of a lot of my friends who got to go home Tuesday night. Wednesday night, I spent with my family, we all had dinner together and then watched a movie. It was nice to catch up with my family, i felt like i haven't been home in a while. A lot of the times when I’m home I’m usually off hanging out with my friends, so it was really relaxing to just be able to hang out with the family for a night. Then of course, comes Thursday, the reason why we got school off in the first place. That morning i woke up at 6:40am to go run the turkey trot down town. It is a tradition every year with my friends to run it, plus some family members do it to. The race started at 8:30, I’ll just put it this way we just made it before the race started. I love running the turkey trot because it's a very relaxed run, you can't really time yourself cause there are thousands of people doing it, and pretty much the first 1/4 mile you walk anyways cause it's so crowded. After the turkey trot, i went home and got ready to go over to my cousin Tony's who lives in Anoka. ?I love thanksgiving cause it's when most of my cousins can make it. We go to my dad's side for thanksgiving and there are a lot of kid cousins so you are never bored. My favorite food of the thanksgiving meal had to be the mash potatoes. Pretty much my thanksgiving night consisted of me playing with my cousins and then hanging out with my family after. Friday night we had a reunion of a group of high school friends, in high school a lot of weekends we would go hot tubing, so Friday night we decided to go hot tubing again. Friday night i saw a lot of my friends who i haven't seen since the end of summer so it was a lot of fun to hear how they were liking college. Saturday night was just another hangout night for my friends and I. Overall, this break was amazing and very relaxing. I definitely needed a break if I still have to get through finals week.
