Thanksgiving.... a Time for Turkey and Thanking

So being in the United States I got to be apart of my first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving started something like when the Pilgrims and Indians had there first meal together but what it is really about is it is a time to give thanks. I spent My thanksgiving playing basketball but also got a great feed from some of our boosters and host parents Doc and Rosey. I ate so much turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, corn, bread, gravy, pumpkin pie, brownies. I didn't eat purposely the whole day Wednesday so I could stuff my self for dinner. So anyway although Thanksgiving is passed I would like to list the Top 5 things I am Thankful for.

Number 1:
Jesus Christ, This man is my Lord and Saviour. He died just so that I may live free of the worry of sin and have the opportunity for eternal life.


Number 2:
My Girlfriend Alisha Grace Heglund. In the 8 months we have known each other and the 6 and half months we've been dating she has completely changed my life. I don't know if I have ever loved anyone the way I love her.



Number 3:
My Family. Not just my Mum, Dad and my Brother but everyone from my grandparents to my aunties, my uncles, my cousins all of them the love and support they have given me throughout my lifetime has just been incredible. Couldn't thank them enough.





Number 4:
My Friends all of them, I have met so many great people over the years and they have each taught me valuable lessons so to all of my friends, thank you.






Number 5:
Basketball. This sport has given me the opportunity to pretty much meet everyone who means the most to me. It has allowed me to travel the world for free, right now it's paying for my education and for me to live in the United States not mention it has always kept me fit and healthy.
