Holy cow Thanksgiving's Over!

How did this happen?! What happened to the "Spirit of Thanksgiving" and all the food? Oh, yeah, I forgot. The food is in our fridge (and will be for another two weeks), and while we were all very thankful for my mom for expertly cooking the food, nobody seemed to be thankful enough for the opportuntiy to wash dishes afterward. Weird, huh? But they got done, and I think there will be some excellent pictures on my mom's blog to give you an accurate representation of just how daunting the task of washing eighteen sets of dishes can be. But overall, we had a great time. My cousins and their parents came over, as well as grandparents from both sides of my family. We even had a fire pit in the street in our front yard, but the younger boys were supprisingly uninterested in it, in favor of those stupid, newfangled electronic devices (our Wii and the computer). Something just doesn't seem right when young boys won't gather 'round a fire and try to see how long they can hold their hands in the flames, or aren't throwing things in it. My mother was very disappointed.
Well, I have more news. I've been accepted into Arizona State University, as well as Nothern Arizona University. But something even more exciting happened, concerning ASU. I've been awarded the Provost Scholarship, a renewable scholarship valued at seven thousand five hundred dollars a year! When I opened the letter, I thought that they had made a mistake and that there was ANOTHER Michael Corbitt. But there's not, and I'm so excited. Now, I know that ASU is not BYU, but I only have six months after I graduate before I turn nineteen, and I was thinking of getting my general education done down here and then when I get back, I would apply to BYU and then finish my required years up there. Hey, should I ask my parents about this? Is this something that they would like to know about? Naw, I think a suprise would be more fun.
