Gobble Gobble, Nudge Nudge

Well, here it is again, another Thanksgiving! As I sit here and think about the many things that I am thankful for, I cannot help but reminisce over the past 11 years I have spent in Vegas. Here is a list of the things that I am thankful for because I lived in Las Vegas:

1. Walter. If I never lived here we would probably never have crossed paths.
2. My Bachelors degree. Living here got my ass on track, even if it took 9 years to get it.
3. My friends. Past and present. The ones I love and the ones who I don't really like anymore. They all have helped shape me into the person that I am today...good and bad.
4. The Experience. I am thankful for all the crazy experiences that I have had here. From the VIP night clubs to the summer beach vollyball, they have all been interesting and memorable.
5. The Realization of Self. Mostly over the past 2 years this has been more apparent, but also through my whole exisitance here, I have realized who I am, what is really important to me, and that those things I thought were important, really were not.
6. Casino work. While I may say that I hate it, it was not always bad. It definitely has been a trip and an experience that I really appreciate.

I hope that we all remember today that we should give thanks not only for our family and friends, but for life...the good and the bad, and all that we learn from it.
