Thanksgiving, Cowboys, and back to school...




This past week was Thanksgiving and I went back to Fort Worth, TX for the break. It was the first time I had been home this whole semester. It was great to see all of my family and friends. We had Thanksgiving at my Aunt’s house instead of my grandparent’s house this year. My Aunt Brenda did a great job and had some great food prepared for everyone. My Aunt Karen also made some (and by some, I mean a lot) of good desserts and I actually made a chocolate/pumpkin bundt cake myself; it was pretty good, too. I was fortunate enough to go to the Cowboy game in the new stadium with my cousin Brain, which was a ton of fun. I had a great time seeing the new Cowboys Stadium and spending some quality time with my cousin. The Cowboys Stadium is one sight to see. Some family friends were actually sitting a couple rows behind us at the game, too. Overall, I had a great Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for and I have to give God the glory for my wonderful family because I am truly blessed. This is the last week of classes before finals begin next week and I am actually traveling back to Texas on Saturday to go back for the Big XII title game. It is going to be at the new Cowboys Stadium, too. It has been a great semester and it feels like I just started it yesterday. The other day myself and some other student-athletes went to a USG meeting to help gather support for priority scheduling for student-athletes. It went well and I was glad to be apart of it.
