Stepping onto the football field makes me happy. I love the feeling of unity and brotherhood you get from being on a team. I love being under the lights and having the glare in my eyes. I find it exhilarating to play under the stars. When I run onto the field a smile creeps onto my face and spreads from ear to ear. When I look up at the score board and see us soaring above the competition, it just makes it a little sweeter. But there is on,y one thing that I don’t like… Man, the sound of that buzzer stinks. If only the game could last forever.

Our Makeshift Thanksgiving Dinner
This past Thanksgiving my family was in Colorado because we were visiting CU Boulder, (The University of Colorado at Boulder). After the collage tour we drove up to Breckenridge Colorado and went skiing. There is only one grocery store there so on thanksgiving afternoon we took the shuttle out to the store and bought some stuff for dinner.
My sisters decided that they wanted to get some things to make an apple pie. They got some pre-made crust, some cinnamon, brown sugar, some other spices, and some green, juicy Granny Smith apples. We got lucky and found one of the last real turkeys left! Our family ended the shopping trip with some canned vegetables.
We got home and cooked up our dinner. I wouldn’t say that it was the best thanksgiving dinner ever, but that isn’t important. It’s not about whats on the table, it’s about whose around it.
By the way, it looked a lot better than that!
