We are going over Delca's house for Thanksgiving dinner and then we will be going by to see my uncle, his wife and my cousins. I told my friend Mimi that I would call her later on so we could see about getting together. She has to work tomorrow so that is going to curtail any harcore "celebrating" we may have tried to do. I am off, but I'm sure most of the day tomorrow will be spent getting things together to move into the new house.
We were going to pay for movers, but my uncle told my mother that he had someone that would do the job for us. This would be a good thing because it would cut down dramatically on the amount we have to spend on moving our things. I know my mother is as happy as I am to know we won't be stuck trying to move all of this crap ourselves.
I called Malik this morning to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving. He didn't answer his phone so I left the message on his machine. He called back a little later and we had a chance to actually speak on the phone for the first time in at least a month. He was again telling me how thankful he is that I pushed him to go to school. I'm thankful that he stuck with it and realized that he has the potential within himself to do great things. I told him that I would be going back to school in the spring. He was happy to hear that.
I also spoke with Granny, Jenny and my dad. Everyone is happy on this Thanksgiving. I'm sad that I couldn't be in California with my grandmother. She knows she is loved though and that's all that counts.
I'm thankful every day of my life for the blessings I receive and the people who make my life richer. Some things I'm extra thankful for:
Cyn, Jason, Starmama, George and Nini for being good friends.
My mommy for always being supportive.
My brother and sister for being the coolest.
My dad for letting me be a daddy's girl even at 31 years old.
My granny for just being her.
My family both near and far.
My job.
My new house.
My friends Mimi, Ken and Qiana for being there.
I hope your turkey is good. Happy Thanksgiving.
