THANKSGIVING =]

I am so glad this is the blog this week. This is my favorite day of the year! I love when there are tons of people pushing through the kitchen trying to reach for a scrap of mom's famous stuffing... or pinch off turkey while dad is trying to carve it! Growing up with a big family there were always 25 or more people at my house for Thanksgiving! I loved the loud noise, lots of food, and everyone from babies to great grandmas!! It is so welcoming to just be surrounded by friends and family. There is just something about the chaos that makes Thanksgiving so great!!! I love Christmas and Easter and New Years and all the others but thanksgiving is just so amazing! This year i was not able to go home for Thanksgiving so my dad, mom, big brother and little brother came to see me and we went to a ladies house that her family has taken me in as their own when i moved here! so it was a little different but there were still 15 people there and lots' of food!!!
I love Thanksgiving!!!

2109

2109 I honestly can't say that i can state what the future holds for "families". I don't really like to look that far in the future. I know that imagination is everything but i am the kind of person that trys to take one step at a time. I know that my grandkids and great grandkids will be getting raised at that time but no one but God knows the future but all we can do is trust that he will take care of us. We need to worry about what the future to an extent If we worry to much about tomorrow we will miss out on the memories today. Don't worry about the world coming to an end, it's already tomorrow in australia.

COMMUNITY

Community can be different for many different people. To me it means a community of a city or town. Back home it is a smaller city so i have a good sense of cummunity. Where everyone supports the High School Football team, you can see everyone you know by going to Food World, and everyone you know you can see driving by. It's growing bigger but my whole life i have known everyone and the ones i didn't know knew me. Murfreesboro is a big city to me and i don't classify it as a tight nit community like i do my hometown of Niceville. When people you don't know wave at you and everyone is kind and friendly. when a group of people no matter the age come together to support one another through anything is a community. There are other communities out there, college's, towns, neighborhoods, families, friends and many more. We can see that as our world and country get older there are many things that change from day to day. Keeping some old values is a good thing but we need out little communities because that's what keeps us safe. We need safety and to feel wanted and i think that if you are involved in any type of community there is a self meaning and you feel wanted...

dishonesty

Dishonesty is not good. I am a very honest person and i believe in doing what is right. I think that an honor code that you have to sign is a little far. Just because you sign a piece of paper doesn't mean that you wont' do it. "tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God", doesn't mean that the killer sitting on the stand won't lie. A piece of paper that you sign doesn't ensure anybody from being dishonest. I think that if someone is going to cheat then they are going to no matter if there is a signing ceremony for being honest or not. I think this signed document is a waste of time and of a tree. People are going to cheat if they want to. A piece of a tree won't change someones character.
