How great it is to be home for Thanksgiving. Last night my mom's sister and her family flew in from Tennessee, their other siblings joined us, and we all went out for a "Pre-Thanksgiving" dinner. It was so nice to have some of the family together for no other reason than to be happy and to celebrate how blessed we all are. This year is different for my family, but the more time i spend with my mom and brother I realize that I still have an amazing base at home.

Tonight my family and I are going to a friends house for dinner. My good friend is home from Arizona, his brother from Virginia, and sister from Florida, along with their parents whom are long-time friends of mine. It will be great to get together and share some laughs. The next day is Thanksgiving, and we will be going to my grandparents. This is about food of course so I am looking forward very much to my grandmother's turkey that is never done in time, my aunt's stuffing that no one likes but me, my mom's scalloped corn that I look forward to all year, and countless other things.

I hope everyone has a great holiday, and we all can look past everything that may have gone against us this year, looking only at the wonderful things in life. We have a countless number of things to be thankful for. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
