It's Thanksgiving over here. I'm gonna take a break in the story telling to wish you guys a good one. Being over here and realizing how much you give up to do your job, you start thinking about all the people and the things in your life that you are greatful for. I can't wait to get back and 
enjoy the good life again. One of the things I wanted to do before I left was to tell everyone of my friends how much I am gonna miss them. I don't know if they know how much they have made an impact on my life, even the ones who I barely get to spend time with. All my friends have something in their personality or have shown me some kind of love that I incorporate into my life. A small look in to my past, I didn't have the greatest childhood growing up and most of the time I look at it as a pretty shitty one. I also know that I could have had it a whole lot worse. But it's what I have to work with and I still find myself at the age of 27 trying move past all those issues. The main thing I'm taking from it is how can I learn from it and hopefully do the right thing for my future kids.
Everyone that I consider my friends has helped me to get out past all of those feelings and move on. And I don't think they know how they do it and I don't know if I know how to explain it to them. I try in my own way to show them love and try to give back as much as I can. So the thing that I am most greatful for is everyone who has been there to impact me in a way to become a better person. Plus I'm way thankful for my family too who support and love me and want to see me achieve all my goals. Having them give me the words to keep myself motivated out here and see beyond all the drama I have to deal with, helps me keep pushing forward till the day I leave.
I hope all of you have a Happy Thanksgiving. Eat alot of Turkey. And for all my friends that are vegetarian, eat a lot of Tofurkey. And may all your wildest dreams come true.

The dinner.
The Thanksgiving dinner was pretty elaborate, compared to the mundane food we eat everyday. The dining facitily really puts in the time and effort to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. Of course the food is no where as good as our friends and family can make it. They decorated the place up with streamers and goofy looking Indian center pieces. They had ice scupltors and food scupltors. It's a little slip away from reality of being in the middle of the desert. They did have sparkling bottles of grape juice, which some of us pretended to be guzzling down on chamagne. Some people acted a little too real with that. I think they were having flashbacks to the days when alcohol flowed freely and they didn't have worry about the consequences of consuming at the end of a hard day's work. Plus on these rare occasions we get to have pictures with guys like this. He looks important with a hat like that.
