Amazing Break

Although I have found out I don't really have many friends at home anymore, this break, I realized how much my family and Mike's family mean to me. When I got home on Tuesday afternoon, my mom took Mike and I out for pizza. She always loves spending time with us and my brother. After going out for pizza, she and I went shopping for some Christmas presents. Whenever we go shopping together, we have so much fun and always break out into laughing fits over nothing. Wednesday, Mike and I went shopping, and he somehow got dragged into working with me at Aero on black Friday. We worked for 10 hours...it was a long day! We went back to his house to have Thanksgiving leftovers with his parents, aunt, uncle, and cousin. We pulled up in his driveway right behind his aunt, uncle, and cousin. As soon as we got out of the car, they came up and each gave me a big hug. Mike's family has always been so accepting and hospitable to me. Saturday, Mike and I went to Chicago with his little sister and one of her guy friends. He was incrediby like Mike which made the day tons of fun. We have this program at our school called Natural Helpers. Lisa went at the beginning of November. During it, you write a letter to someone who has helped you or you look up to. She wrote me a letter, mostly because she and Mike aren't really affectionate. It was great hearing how she thinks I have helped both her and Mike. This morning, Mike's mom even made me go along to look at the houses they are thinking about buying. Of course, throughout this entire break, I spent lots of time with my family, and they are always completely supportive of me. It was great spending time with both my family and Mike's family over break.
