My thanksgiving break was good and relaxing. I did a lot of homework over the break and relaxed at home. It was nice to see family I don't see often for thanksgiving. It was fun catching up with family since the summer. There was so much yummy food and dessert to eat. My dad who is an amazing cook made the turkey. My grandma made her hoe made apple pie and it was so yummy. Every time she I eat it, it hits the spot lol. The crust and apples mixed with cinnamon are so tasteful.  There was so much leftovers to take home and eat. We were all exhausted by the end of the day. My teacher parents and I spent the night at her house and I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. Overall it was a successful thanksgiving and am so glad I was able to spend time with my family. Next is Christmas and I am so excited, because we are hosting this year. Also my birthday is the 20th which is right before Christmas so I am excited about that.

As this semester is coming to an end; I have started to realize how close I am to becoming a teacher. It is scary to think I have only one more semester of school(student teaching) and then I graduate. I feel like I just moved in to Tower Hall as a freshman in college. I can't believe time went by so fast. I feel a sense of accomplishment when reflecting on how far I have come in college. It has been a stressful and fun time but am excited for the next chapter of my life as a new teacher. It is weird to think this time next year I will have finished my first semester as a new teacher. It is scary but exciting when thinking about my future students.

On Saturday my sister and I decided to have a girls day since we do not hang out as much even though we are roommates. School keeps everything busy so it is hard to hangout with her. We had a really great time shopping at the outlets and going out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We then came back to our house and had a movie night and dessert. It was a very relaxing day and I enjoyed being able  to hang out with my sister. The day was filled with laughs, food and shopping!
