Its Tryptophan Time in Tennessee!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!! Being Unemployed for a month or so left me where i could only afford a pack of turkey instead of a real turkey. What a great day and a great time of the year. Even though there has been some people in the news lately doubting that our friend tryptophan is truly the source of our sleepiness, it will always been number one in my book. I'm just pumped about the next few days thats all i can say. This morning i participated in the popular Turkey bowl football game with all the guys at the church. I'm happy to report that myself along with everyone else walked away unharmed. Even though it was cold and rainy its yet another good source of memories to look back on someday. Hopefully we can all say that after we have our shoot fest on Saturday. As i look back on yet another year that has slipped by, I see many memorable moments that I have nothing but thanks to God for. I saw myself starting a new career and marrying the woman of my dreams. This will be our first Thanksgiving and Christmas as a married couple which i'm really excited to share such a special time together. With all the happy thoughts in my mind, this time of year will always carry a saddened feeling for me through out all my Thanksgiving days here on this earth. I found myself standing in the family cemetery on Tuesday looking down at my Papa's tombstone just baffled thinking that it has been a year already. Many of you have probably read Ryan's blog already and it was special just to see him and hear his voice again. There will probably ever be only one man who I will ever have more respect for than Harold "papa" Howard and that is my dad. There are so many lessons and memories that Papa left behind with me and i'm forever thankful for that. I MISS YOU Brother Harold. Standing there in the graveyard with my wife, maybe more than ever it made me realize that time is fast and our life is fleeting. So I hope everyone enjoys and cherishes this time to fellowship and make memories with your families. Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!
