“What are you thankful for?”

“I’m thankful for my band family because they always support me and they are really good friends and people. I’m always thankful for my family, but this year I’m also thankful Natalie is staying with us because now that both of my sisters are away at college this was the first year I didn’t have a sister at home – but now I have one again!

“What’s it been like having Natalie living with you?”

“It’s been really cool. It’s been a really neat experience to have someone living in your house that you are still getting to know. I’ve lived with my family for 16 years, but living with Natalie is awesome because I learn new things about her every day.”
