Dear Friend 3

Dear Friend,
Have I ever told you how beautiful the mountains are? It would be impossible to describe, but I’ll try. When I go to the mountains it is almost like leaving the country to go on a vacation. It is a miracle to me how I can be in a city with literally no snow and only two hours away is a complete different atmosphere. The mountains are all covered in snow which shines in the sun and the top is covered in clouds. It’s hard for me to understand how someone can resist going to the mountains to see what to me is a completely different part of the this unique state that I live in.
I have seen plenty of movies and heard many stories of having the most mind blowing glory days of a famous person or even stories from relatives and friends. I think glory days happen at an unpredictable time for every person. I think you will know when this happens obviously when you are the most satisfied with the way you are living than ever before. To me that would be when I have a family, job, house, car and other stuff to show that I have succeeded, but that may just be because I have a materialistic kind of personality. That is when I predict to have my glory days but that’s just me and I understand that every person has a different point in time when they have their glory days.
Almost every thanksgiving I go back to Sydney, Nebraska to visit all my relatives on my mom’s side of the family and sometimes my aunts and uncles from my dad’s side also come to celebrate the holiday with us. Every year we get there a couple days before thanksgiving and bring all kinds of pies, appetizers, and other traditional thanksgivings foods. The first couple days we are there we visit and conversate usually on how college or school is going for me. The day of thanksgiving all of my family goes to church early in the morning. I like the church in Sydney because it is right to the point and they understand that thanksgiving is a day to be celebrated eating and watching the football games and eventually passing out. After church everyone gathers as either my aunt Lori’s or Aunt Jane’s house with all the food they made. There is always an over load of food which is never a problem because left over’s probably the next best thing after dessert. After we are done eating we watch the football games which usually involve some kind of bet that was made on the game. Then for the next four hours of the day I really couldn’t tell you what happens because I am usually sleeping. But that is how I like to spend my thanksgiving holiday as much as possible.
Sincerely,

Tyler
