It's the 2 ½ hours from Thanksgiving here. I'm so Thankful for my family. I miss them dearly. Life here has been the same. Its really pretty much the same day in and day out for the most part with different variations of change. My boss just finished up his 2 weeks of vacation and is on his way back which means I'm even closer to going on mine. I've never looked so forward to December my entire life. My son knows I'm coming home in December but not when. I cant wait to see my wife at the airport, to pop out of that wrapped box to surprise my son and telling him were going to Disney. To hold my daughter who was 2 months old when I left and will be over a year old when I return. If your reading this wherever you are I hope you will find some time to spend with your family. I'm not really looking forward to Thanksgiving here, but I'm hoping they at least have some pumpkin pie. If so I can be happy. If not then so be it maybe one of you will have some for me.
