The Jambalaya Mess I Call "Life"

Hello everyone!

I always have wanted to start a blog, and my friend Devin helped me want to do it more after reading hers for the past few months.

This past week was Thanksgiving break. I am so glad that I decided to go home Tuesday night; all of my friends were home and we haven't all been together for at least two months! I almost started crying when I saw their faces - yes, I get a little emotional. Even though I only got to see them for 9ish hours, it was totally worth it.

This year, I experienced my first Thanksgiving without either of my parents. It was hard, but I had all of my moms side of the family there to keep my mind off of it---well until my sister was given pictures of us from my mothers funeral. Aha. I have truly missed all of my cousins. We even decided to go Black Friday shopping at Belk. Pam and Alysson went to bed early - I didn't sleep until we got back from Belk; the sale started at 3 a.m. and we got back around 4:15. I bought three beautiful scarves and some awesome boots, but I don't know if I am ever going to do that again.

My brother and sister left the next day, mostly because Justin was afraid to watch the Alabama/Auburn game with all the bama fans (can I get a Roll Tide?). Last night, I received a very horrific phone call. My sister was in a really bad car accident - her car is officially totaled, BUT - she is okay and only ended up with a few cuts and bruises. I don't know about ya'll, but this shows me how tough the Moody family truly is. Poor thing, she sat in the ER for more than 8 hours. I will be going down to Mobile to see her next weekend and give her something to smile about. :)

I personally can't wait for Christmas. Even though everyone else's will be starting before mine, since I have to work, I still can't wait to go down and see all of my friends and my second families (ahah) before I spend Christmas with my legit family.  I'm secretly hoping that some of my friends will come up here and stay with me until I have to leave---IT WILL BE AWESOME, YOU GUYS! :)

Well, I have basically chatted your ears off. Considering this is my first blog, I want to leave ya'll with a few words of wisdom from my brother, Tyler. I will start my next blog telling ya'll why this discussion came up.

This is for you, Alysson :)
