Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Not only does that mean a ginormous family get together. It also means 2 extra days off from school! :) . Okay, maybe that isn't so great because we have to cram 5 days worth of assignments and tests into 3 days. But in celebration of Thanksgiving, here are 20 things I am grateful for. There are more, but these are what I thought of right now.
20 Things I am Truly Grateful For
(1) My awesome, crazy, German, Irish, supposedly French (according to my Grandma who thinks I have a boyfriend named Ricky who plays acoustic guitar and doesn't exist. Apparently she misunderstood something, but now all my relatives in Ireland think I have a boyfriend.), Buddhist, Catholic, and way to the leffftt family.
