I know it's overstated, but I really do try to show my gratitude for those I love and the things I have year-round. This year, I'm especially thankful for my brother who is missing the holiday to serve our country. Although I miss him terribly, I couldn't be more proud of him.
On top of all the normal Thanksgiving things that are making me happy (family, food, football, Macy's Day Parade, Black Friday shopping, etc.), I also have some other happy thoughts.
- My mom. She came to the Cyclones game on Sunday to watch me at work. It was really cool to have her there so she could see what I do on game days. I feel so supported by my family and friends.
- The Hunger Games Trilogy. After seeing Catching Fire, I was reminded how awesome the books are and I'm tempted to re-read the series. Also, Jennifer Lawrence might just be my new girl crush.
- Sweet potatoes. So delicious. I'm attempting to make these sweet potato puffs for dinner tonight, so we'll see how it turns out. Fingers crossed.
- "Drink You Away" by Justin Timberlake. JT performed this on the AMAs on Sunday and I instantly fell in love with it.
Are you more of a Gale or Peeta fan?
