Sorry forgot to hit publish...

Wow, so much for trying to write in this every day. I went home two weekends ago for the first time since school started. Thanksgiving was really good. I started out at my dad's. We were going to go to the Bravo's, Eric's girlfriend (Polly)'s house, but it isn't accessible. So we had our dinner at Rancho Bravo. It was closed, we brought all of our food there. It ended up being Eric, Polly, Megan, John, my dad, Becky, and I. It was really great being altogether, That doesn't happen very often. For those of you who don't know, Eric is my older step-brother, Megan is my younger sister, John is my younger half-brother, and Becky is my step-mom. However, the words "step" and "half" don't exist in our house. Eric is 22, Megan is 19 and John is almost 13. Eric has been my friend since I was very young, like 2, and has been my brother since I was 7, he was 8. In my opinion he is just as much my brother as Megan is my sister. I also have a younger "half" sister, Macy, on my moms side, who is 13. I am very close with all of my siblings, as they are all with each other. John and Macy, even though from different sides are extremely close friends, they are in the same grade, at the same school, and have often called each other their best friends. Anyway, as we have gotten older, we have grown apart, especially with me living 2 hours away 8 months of the year. When I am home I rarely see Eric since he has moved out, and Megan is always gone at a friends house or out. So it was very nice to have us all in one place. I then went to my mom's house. My grandma came up, my aunt and her new husband came up from Florida, my cousin Shelby came up, and then Megan, Macy, my mom, her boyfriend Lance, his sisters Lori and Kim, their husband Larry and Toni, and some of their kids were there. It was really good seeing everyone. As much as I love being at school, I really do miss them when I'm gone.
