Turkey time approaches

Its Tuesday morning as I write this, sitting at my desk at work. Daniel is in his Computer Science class at MTSU and I'm sure he is having about as much fun as I am today. Our office is getting ready to decorate for Christmas because they want the whole Trevecca campus to be pretty when the students return back from Thanksgiving break. I always enjoy decorating the office but this year, I'm not ready to be in the Christmas spirit quite yet. I LOVE Thanksgiving and each year Christmas sneaks in to take away all of Thanksgiving's glory.

We are leaving tomorrow afternoon to travel to Indiana to spend the weekend with Daniel's dad and Micha. This will be my second Thanksgiving with them and last year was so much fun, so I'm really looking forward to spending time with them. I'm excited to be out in the middle of the country, away from the hustle and bustle of Nashville for a while. I am excited to go shooting with Daniel again like last year in the woods around the house. I am excited to go back to the casino boats, and I'm excited about all the games of pool that will be played. I'm most excited about spending quality time with family and all the amazing food that Micha cooks.

We have a lot to still get accomplished before we leave tomorrow, like packing :) But to insure that we all stay in the Thanksgiving spirit, I have included a poem that caught my attention.


More Than A DayAs Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.We have friends and family we love;
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got;
Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go away.By Karl Fuchs
