Our Thanksgiving Table (2010)

I would like to express my gratitude for my wonderful family and friends for their unending love and support.  I’ve had an absolutely wonderful year, and I couldn’t have done it without them.

We celebrate this year with a new tradition.  I’m calling it Thanksgrilling.  That’s right!  No turkeys in the oven.  No yams on the table.  No stuffing to stuff our faces with.

Our family chose to make a simple yet delicious meal of hamburgers, hot dogs and a steak (for me, thanks hun!).  Throw some rolls in the oven and some veggies in the microwave and let’s eat!

We’re celebrating being together as a family without all the fuss.  We’ll have more time for fun and games and enjoying each others’ company this way.

Happy Thanksgrilling, everyone!

Meet One Eyed Jack and Brutus, our handsome little pumpkins from 2008. We hope they can help you prepare for this year’s Halloween fun!

My little brother Noah is seven years old.  He sent me a birthday card this year that is truly the best gift ever.

Hi Jessack Happy Birthday Love Noah

My DaD included a note which explains:

Jess,

Noah says that while the Pteranodon flies overhead you (in the orange jumpsuit) help Noah hoist the crystal of friendship to spawn the heart-shaped gem of happiness to kick-off Noah’s ultimate half-pipe demonstrations and celebration for your birthday!  I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Love,

DaD

PS – Noah learned how to skateboard a few days ago!

Today is my birthday.  I absolutely love birthdays.  To me, this is my day to celebrate my life and all the wonderful things that have happened to me along the way.  I dream of all the things to come, and of all the great adventures I will be privileged enough to experience in the future.  To me, every day is a gift.  You can’t return it, so you may as well enjoy it and get the most out of every one.

Thank you to each and every one of my family and friends for being a part of my life.  Thank you to my readers for stopping by and for experiencing my writings.  Thank you so much!

My birthday wish is for each of you to have another year of amazing experiences and personal growth.  Live a little.  Laugh a lot.  Love your life.  You’re worth it.

Cheers!
