I'm a thankful Justin

Growing up Thanksgiving was always about getting the whole family together for the whole day, making a feast, and eating together. We always had the football lovers in front of the TV, the ladies in the kitchen cooking and talking, and the kids running around like crazy. Everyone put their differences aside and we all came together as a family. Now things are different, some have gone their separate ways, and others don't talk, and some have disowned one another. They have their reasons and I respect that, but they taught me a very valuable lesson; cherish your loved ones today because you don't know what the future holds.

I am thankful for many things, but I'm extremely thankful for all of my loved ones in my life.

I couldn't ask for a better life partner :) she accepts all of my flaws and loves my strengths. She has the best daughter Savanna Raven, who can light up a room with her smile, just like her mama. she's so smart and becoming a very well rounded person.

Becky has always supported me and is never afraid to tell me the truth and not sugar coated :)

Ty is my best buddy, we've been through a lot and still know that when it comes downs to it, we have each others back no matter what.

Melissa and I have known each other for many years! We may not talk often but when we do it feels like we haven't missed a beat.
Melissa and Randy are the one's I know I can go to on facebook if I ever need any help with finding a great vegetarian meal :)

The Sorensen family has always accepted me as apart of the family, no questions asked. Mari and Don are great people and I'm happy to have them in my life :)
JD, Candice, Katrina, Eddie, and of course Ty are all like brothers and sisters to me. We may bicker but it's all in good fun.

My dad and I have had a lot of ups and downs, but we have finally reached a middle ground. We are a lot alike and I'm very happy to have him apart of my life.

I'm also Thankful for reconnecting with my mom, step-dad John, my little brother Mateo, and my grandma. I look forward to building a stronger relationship with each of them.

I'm obviously thankful for Facebook, it has made it easy for me to keep in contact with friends I made in NC (Cheryl!) and I have met some great people on there! You guys make my day, even if some of you *cough*Nikki*cough* tease me for the Broncos not always being the best team they could be. I am thankful for all of you! :)


In my opinion Thanksgiving is about putting your differences aside, coming together as a family, and spending time with those you love. Making new memories and making your own unique family traditions. I plan on carrying on some traditions but always making sure there's room to make new traditions, 'cause what is life if you don't keep it new and exciting! I may be in California but I still spent it with my loved ones, of course my girls were with me and the rest I saw via skype :)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and spent it with those who mean the most.
