 One person I am most grateful for in my life is my mom. I am very thankful for my mom she does everything for me. She puts up with everything that I throw at her. She is always there for me whenever I need her. She buys me things and she always try her best to help me when I need it. She always makes sure that I don't make mistakes in my life.  

  Another person I am most grateful for in my life is my dad. My dad always takes me where ever I ask him to take me. He helps me with my math homework when I don't understand it. He always encourages me to do my best at everything that I do. My dad makes sure that I dont go down the wrong path in life he makes sure that I stay on the right one. 

  I am also grateful for my brother. Sometimes he may be annoying but without him times at home would be boring. Without him I would be the only child and wouldn't have a sibling to talk to.He is outgoing funny and smart. He is always trying his best to help around the house and help out my mom dad and I and I am thankful that he does.

Over this 4 day weekend I didn't do that much. On the first day of our 4 day weekend I hung out with my friends and got pizza. The next day I stayed home during the day with my brother. Then I went to my friends house and slept over her house.We just watched some movies and played volleyball. 

 On Saturday I had to go the mall with my family because it was my cousins birthday, and he wanted to do this big obstacle course they had there. Sunday I stayed home besides the time I had to run to the store with my mom. Then I watched football with my dad and brother. I also spent most of my break watching Friday Night Lights on  Netflix

Iphone owners sue Apple over excess data usage in IOS 9

A couple in Florida filed a suit against Apple saying the new update saying it caused them to exceed their wireless data cap.

They say that Apple did not notify owners that the IOS 9 included free wifi assistance which made their data run out.

When the wifi assistant kicks in the wifi icon at the top disappears   and the only thing there is the connection bars.

Now because of the couple who sued you can now disable this feature
