It's always fun when Gwen Comes Home!

I pretty much have the cutest family in the whole world! When i went to come home this weekend, my mom jumped on the piano and Samantha and Vince sang "I'ts always fun when Gwen Comes" (also known as "It's always fun when Grandpa Comes"). But they didnt stop there. My mom then played the song in a minor key and they sang "It's always sad when Gwen goes home". It was SOOO funny! You can go see it on Mary's blog at www.maryeclev.blogspot.com. Very cute! Thanksgiving was so great! I love spending time with the family...even if they all can kick my trash at guitar hero. I can't wait for the next two weeks to be over so i'll be done with this semester and with work and I can go home for two whole weeks!!! :)

I am thankful for....

Well family...things are still just as boring as ever here in Logan. I would do the whole thankful thing that Mary and Sam are going but I know that I will just forget and then i'll feel bad cuz i commited to it. So instead of promising to write 3 things every day, I will just promise to add 10 things I am thankful for to every blog that I post in the month of November.
1. Being able to go to college (and mostly USU)
2. My amazing parents.. I would be nothing without them
3. My cute siblings that are pretty much the funniest people i know and my best friends
4. The fact that in a few short months..I will be Auntie Gwen! :)
5. Fall colors that are EVERYWHERE
6. Cheez-its (you laugh, but i'm serious...those things are delicious!)
7. A toasty apartment and roommates that keep me on my toes (to say the least)
8. My wonderful friends!
9. Having the internet at my fingertips to keep in contact with friends and families
10. Cute kids that make me laugh
There ya go! The big ten of this week, though it was hard to pick. I love the holiday season! Everyone is so happy! Last night, I got home from a group project at about 10:45 and had an insane craving for eggs! (well, and mashed potatoes, but eggs were easier to make). So i went to walmart and instead of hearing the usual depressing, "you're a loser for being at walmart this late a night" music, (ie: "One is the loneliest number" kinda of music) I heard happy Christmas music! It made me feel way better about going out in the cold to satisfy my egg craving. haha Well so far aggie basketball is off to a FABULOUS start! AND!!! I am happy to report that me and my friend Mike single handedly started a cheer at the spectrum that has now caught on and everyone is going it. We have a player on our team who is named "Pooh Williams". Well our head coach is named Stew...so whenever he comes out everyone goes "STTEEEEWWW!" ...so we just changed it to "POOOOOH!" for Pooh Williams and it totally took off! We are so gonna be legends, even though no on even knows we were the ones that started it. Oh Well, we have some amazing players this year and I think this is gonna be our big year! You guys should come up and visit me! We could go to Firehouse and then hit an aggie basketball game. They are usually on the weekends and that would be so fun! Let me know if you guys want to do that. I would love for you guys to come up here! Okay, well it's time to get back to work. I hope you are all doing well! Love you guys!
