It's Not Thanksgiving, But I Am Thankful. And I'm Craving Turkey.

2012 has been a year of change for us.  I (Jared) had a much needed medical procedure done.  Sweet (and expensive) relief!  My son graduated high school, became taller than me, and is heading off to college.  We all could not be prouder of the young man he has become!  

My wife had both of her Grandmothers pass away six weeks apart.  They both suffered for years, so it was a true blessing.  The funerals were both fun and sad at the same time.  RIP Grandmas.  We know you are in a better place.

Then we switched companies.  This was a huge change for us.  We went from a small company to one of the top five Century 21 offices in the country.  The old and small office was good for the time being, but we were ready for a move.  We were ready for a change.  We were ready to take it to the next level.  

It's been about two months since the move, and we have finally settled in.  

Today we had a small cook out with my son and our immediate family.  At one point I looked around and all I could do was smile.  I am so thankful.  I'm thankful for my wife, my son, my mother in law for all of her support, and all of my family and close friends.  

I'm thankful that God allows us to live the live that we lead and that our business is striving.  

The only thing missing right now is turkey.  I love turkey.  :)

WOW! You guys have had a hard year. I tried to get my daughter to move out at 18..she stuck like Gorilla Glue. LOL I love her and don't mind at all that she is staying. I wanted her to know how hard it is out there. She figured it out. She is not good at math but she is good with HER money. In any case she is going to college and living at home. Thank goodness U of H is not far away from us.

Yowza Dude, you two have had quite a year, but it looks like you've gotten over some major hurdles and things are looking good.  So happy you had the opportunity to spend some quality time with your family, even though you didn't have my favorite meal..............which is TURKEY!

Jared and Amanda- I loved your line:"I looked around and all I could do was smile."  Now that sounds like bliss!  Break out the turkey, dressing and apple pie... I'd say celebrate now.   Sounds like you two are in for a great 2013!
