Thanks

Tomorrow, M and I are going to get on a plan and fly to San Diego. When I planned the trip to go to Phoenix for the Thanksgiving Holiday week... I found out that it was a lot cheaper to fly to San Diego and then to Phoenix than it was to fly straight to Phoenix. So, M and I will have some time together and we'll get a chance to drive to Los Angeles to visit her brother and her cute little nieces.

On Tuesday we fly to Phoenix and I'll visit with Andy's teacher. I pick up the boys Wed. afternoon and they go back on Sunday.. and so do we. M will most likely stay with her parents when I have the boys.. they too live in Phoenix.

... that means that most likely, I won't pick up the laptop unless I have to do something for work....

Thanksgiving is here.. a time to give thanks

I have a lot of thanks to give.

First, thanks for reading and lending your support to me when I have most needed it.

I am thankful that I have such a supportive/loving and beautiful wife!!! There are times when I think that she should be upset with me, but she never really is.. some of that comes from the abuse that I got from my ex wife, but the truth is.. I am the luckiest man in the world because each day M gives me love and happiness and takes care of me and on top of that, every time I see her my heart still skips a beat and I feel as if I need to pinch myself, she is just so beautiful.

I am thankful that this move to another state has worked out. It has been over a year now and I have seen the boys every time that I was supposed to get them. I don't have that anxious feeling anymore that my ex wife will not send them out when I drive up to pick them up.

I am thankful for the fact that I have a great job that I love doing. I love helping people and seeing results. I should have been a counselor, but a consultant is close enough.

I am thankful for natures beauty.. I am in awe looking at the colors of the leaves that the trees have turned into these past few weeks. Molly and I took a walk last night and the smell of the wet leaves on the ground reminded me of my youth in Connecticut.

I am thankful for a supportive and loving family. My mother, father, and sister are so supportive, it will be nice to see them all next week. I miss them and our times with the boys and everyone together.

Life is good, sometimes we get caught up in the things that are bad, things that we wish we didn't have in our lives, but those bad things just teach us more just how good the good parts of our lives really are.
