Thanksgiving Week Takes on an All New Meaning

It has been too long since my last blog, so I apologize to my faithful friends and family whom I have let down. I just finished up the last of my 3,500 word English term paper over John Donne, so it actually comes as a surprise that I am in the mood to write any more...but God has been too good to me, my family, and some close friends to let it all go by without acknowledging the importance of this week.

On Sunday evening I addressed all of my graduation invitations for my graduation ceremony on December 13th at 9 am, and then dropped them in the outgoing mail slot yesterday morning. Wow. The last 4 and 1/2 years have been like one of the most out of control roller coaster rides you could imagine, but I am thankful for God, Megan, family, and friends for helping me to stay strong through the lowest of lows and helping me stay humble during the highest of highs. After its all said and done, I will be proud to say I am a graduate of Texas A&M University. Thanks to everyone who has been a positive influence on my life throughout my college career - you know who you are!

Another monumental announcement was shared with me this morning from a very close friend of mine. You can check here and here for all of the latest news about the Burleson Baby! Congrats Nic and Jo! It's a boy!

This afternoon at 4 o'clock Megan and I will be signing some the most important paperwork of our young lives as we close on our brand new house in the Edelweiss Gartens subdivision in College Station. With just under 1700 square feet and a nice sized back yard, we will be so thankful not to be cramped in this tiny apartment any more! Check back here within the next day or two for the latest news on the closing, including some exclusive pictures I will take so you can all get a good look at our new crib!

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I am looking forward to spending some long overdue time with family and friends and catching up on life over an awesome Thanksgiving meal and some NFL and College Football in HD!


P.S. Please say a special prayer for my family, as this will be our first Thanksgiving without my pops. It will be a tough couple of days without him around to carve the turkey or cheer on the Aggies when we play t.u. like we grew so accustomed to over the years. I am Thankful for the time we had with him and Thankful that his eternal reward is now a reality for him...
