Christmas future: I love being home for Christmas and I love when it snows on Christmas, but I have this daydream of spending Christmas by the ocean one year. I love the idea of having a cottage with a fireplace while the waves hit outside and a Christmas tree in the window. So I hope to spend a Christmas at the ocean in my future.

Our family Thanksgiving isn’t anything special, it’s basic and ordinary. We fix traditional food, such as; turkey, ham, pumpkin pie, etc… I believe this tradition, known as ThanksGiving is special. I think it brings culture and families together. Bulking up for winter and hitting new PR’s is my tradition during the Thanks Giving holiday.
