Remember that chick from South Africa named Janine? Well as you know, we are here together as roomies at BYU! I have the great opportunity of seeing her gorgeous face every. single. day. Not only that, but since we are both from the east coast, we got to spend our thanksgiving together here in Provo. We both decided that we would much rather cook up our own feast in the comfort of our apartment than go somewhere else. Later that day, my cousin skyped me, and I got to see my whole family gathered in my house eating my favorite dishes...without me. I smiled and laughed, but as soon as I hung up, I started tearing up. I wanted nothing more than to be home. I snapped out of this funk and remembered to hang in there, because only THREE more weeks till I'm home.
I am so grateful to be able to go home for Christmas, but most importantly, I am grateful for a best friend who made this thanksgiving so enjoyable when I couldn't be home. I consider Janine a sister, so in a way, I did get to spend my turkey break with family. As soon as classes ended on Tuesday, we brought our mattresses into the living room where it was a sleepover every night. We watched endless movies and shows on netflix, pigged out, went hot tubbing, and out shopping. I could not have asked for anything more. It was a perfect, relaxing vacation that we both needed before the ruckus of finals.
