Thanksgiving

I'm home in Marietta this weekend for Thanksgiving. You may think that the Jett family has gotten its months mixed up but we know its October. My brother, Jason, works at Disney World in Orlando in their Resort Sales Department. Since there are so many people who come to the park during the holidays he can't come home for Thanksgiving or Christmas, so we are happy to accomodate our holidays around his schedule. I left Montevallo around 7:30 or 8pm last night and seriously almost fell asleep at the wheel about 400 times. I know one thing for sure- the Lord still has things for me to do here on earth. I did that head nod thing the whole way to Georgia and I almost hit a couple of cars in the lanes next to me- ha ha! I am no good at night driving.
The past month or so of my life has been amazingly peaceful. Nothing major has really changed. I'm still busy, I still live and work in Montevallo, Alabama but I don't know I guess God is just starting to cure me of the disease my friends call ATMS (Afraid to miss something). I'm beginning to believe that I'm exactly where He wants me to be, and I really do love little Montevallo. I love the Peach pear smoothies at Eclipse, the cheese dip at Zappopan. I love knowing the waiters and waitresses at both of those local hangouts. I love chilling out and drinking Earl Grey tea with Joey, Camilla, Stacey, Hooper, and Corey in Peck. I love watching my roomies try on 50 different outfits and helping them decide what they want to wear for a night out on the town. I love table hopping in the Caf.
I haven't had a chance to dance very much lately. I don't know why its so important to me but I miss it. I feel like dancing is a visual and physical expression of ecstatic happiness. That's why I think that no graduation, birthday, wedding, New Year's Eve celebration... is ever truly complete without at least a little personal dance party. I've caught myself dancing in the bathroom if I'm having a really good time at a friends house. Not like I go in there just to dance but just while I'm fixing my hair or washing my hands at the sink I'll just dance it out for a couple of seconds. Anyways... Happy Thanksgiving people!
