Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving... A day of awesome food, fun, football, and friendship. For a couple reasons, this thanksgiving has more emotional weight for me. After graduating high school, these last two years for me have proven the most difficult I have yet to endure. More challenges have poked their heads up than ever before. However, with these challenges I have learned a lot and now have much to be thankful for. As I get older friends and family mean more and more to me and currently I am most thankful for them. I continue to learn how much our troops have actually sacrificed for our freedom and therefore, I am ever thankful for what they do too. Because of their deeds I have the opportunity to participate in such a trip as the GDMBR. I can't help but smile.

Today my family and I will continue on a tradition of about 25 years as we get together with friends to eat, play football and just have fun. I skipped breakfast just for the occasion and look forward to eating myself into discomfort. Should be fun!

Look for a meaningful moment under the Bios tab at www.biggmac.com to learn the significance of the angel on the bike. It will be our first meaningful moment.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
