Self-Induced Food Coma

Well, it's Thanksgiving, and believe it or not, I am working. It's not as bad as it sounds, and to even make it sound worse my family left me today to go eat at my uncles place in Idaho, leaving me all alone. Sounds pretty bad eh? Well, not so my dear reader...(you know who you are) I actually had a great morning wrestling with the ping pong table trying to get it set up for the days festivities, and getting ready to spend the early afternoon with Skylar and his family. It was really great of him to invite me over to have dinner with him and his family. They ate early in the day allowing me to be able to stuff my face and get to work on time. His family was amazing and really kind to (i didn't expect anything different) and I felt right at home. Played a little bump in the driveway with his cousins, and it was a little embarrassing seeing how i am almost 100% non-athletically inclined, and so I was kind of awkward with the ball. Nothing new, but it was fun. We stuffed our faces like the rest of the country, and loved every minute and calorie. I'm so thankful for Skylar and his friendship and hospitality towards me. He's a great Friend, and I really do appreciate him and his kindness. Awesome Friend!

But the time was short, and here I am back at the good old Davenport doing my job. It was not my first choice to work today, but I guess i just have to deal with it. First off, its dead. There are few calls coming in, and so its nice to not have much work, but at the same time painful. It is real easy to be upset at the situation and be grumpy, but i have taken a different stance on this one. I'm happy being here... although it is not the first door number I would have picked.

Life is good. Its not ever what I planned it to be, and I always seem to be ten steps behind in ever thing. But it is a good life, and I life that I cant complain about. It is such a blessing to being going to the school that I'm going to, and to be in the ward that I am in, having the friends that I have that care and love me, and treat me so well. My family is such a blessing. I love them to death! I am just so thankful to my father in heaven for the path that he has put me on, and for the desires I have to push me down that path. Its not easy, and it sucks to be blind sided by so many challenges and trials, but man life is good! I am just so thankful, and grateful. I just cant contain it. Its an amazing life, and I cant wait to live what the Lord has in store to me. Most of all I am thankful for my Father in Heaven, and for his guiding hand in my life. This is not a life that I have given to myself. This is a blessing by him, and the opportunities that I have had in my life have only come through him that I worship and love very much. I cant deny this, and fact that he is so real, and not just an idea or hope. He is real, and everything that happens in my life comes from him. It is truly a day of thanksgiving! Thank You!
