Happy Thanksgiving

One of the great things about living in the same area as most of my family is that I can wake up late and drive the ten minutes over to my grandmother’s house on holidays. The bad part is that it also means that I never get to go anywhere. Couldn’t I have at least one major relative that lived in Hawaii?

In the spirit of the holiday season, I thought I’d offer a few words of thanks for the people that have made the past year so special.

I am thankful for my friends and family, and how they have influenced my life. I’m especially thankful for my mother, who taught me how to be a good person, but forgives me because I didn’t listen.

I’m grateful for the opportunities that I have at work to grow and learn, and for the co-workers that help make each day more interesting than it should be.

I’d like to thank the Fightin’ Texas Aggie football team for making me hoarse every Saturday, and for showing a great deal of heart this season. And to Coach Fran, who reminded us that you play for the name on the front. Gig’em!

I’d also like to thank the friends that I’ve made in the blogosphere. The discussions and exchange of ideas that I’ve been a part of are an infinite source of knowledge and entertainment. I’ve never known a more talented or generous group of people. A special thanks to everyone that visits and/or links to this site. I’m not always sure what keeps you coming back, but I am eternally grateful for your support.

And finally, I’d like to thank Nicole, my best friend and partner. She knows the real me, but loves me anyway. I can’t imagine my life without her big smile and dorky laugh.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend.
