Thanksgiving Day is a special day to look back and be thankful for all those things and special moments we had throughout so far in our short lives.

| Thanksgiving 2012 in Iowa with my teammates |
The Nation gives us a day to celebration at least one day where we allow most families to take a day off of work to gather around the kitchen table from distance or close by to have one big feast with the ones we love most.
This Thanksgiving, I was lucky enough get work off (since I work in the sports industry and sports never sleeps) and spend time with my family which I haven't got to in 3 years.
In the past 3 years, I spend those 1st year spending Thanksgiving at my desk at school catching up on school work all day. The 2nd year, I had my first dysfunctional Thanksgiving with my teammates since we all couldn't go back to our respective places we call home. And the 3rd year, I spent it at work at a desk watching the Texas-Texas Tech game.
This year, I am thankful that I get to spend thanksgiving with my family (although I wasn't home for most of the morning and afternoon). Just being around them makes me realize I could have it much worse than where I am at right now.
I am thankful for a whole lot of things, not just on the day of Thanksgiving, but everyday of my family, all the things I have, the people I've met and the journey they have been through with me to become the person I am right now.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
