Well I know it's a little Early but I figured I would do it anyway.
Things I am thankful for...
Family- People to laugh with, play with, stay with, cry with and even EAT with! Thanks for all the support and goodies!
The Internet- Making this deployment a piece of cake.
HBO-Making the boredom bearable
Grass- After growing it in Iraq I will never look at grass the same way!
Bottled Water- People say that it's not any better for you than regular water. They wern't talking about Iraq!
Kimber- Giving me money and laughter for three AWESOME summers! For teaching me responsibility when I was an ignorant cus!
Joe- Hope we get to go shooting sometime soon
Josh- Always having work to keep me busy on Leave and Books on tape!
Kara-For always being! For an introduction to Techno...I love it. For being extra thoughtful and creative. Thanks again for the cards. they are AWESOME
Cami-For being a Pen pall when I needed it the most!
Kellie-For saving me my senior year! For always being honest. For movie lines and gaming good times! For always being nice even when you were really mad. For late night Alias and Ice Cream!
Jim and Jake- Paving the way for my Military Career. I may compete a lot and talk a lot of trash but thank you so much for your service! Best brothers a guy could have.
Kate- For always offering a place to stay! For late night talks. For an AWESOME summer and an even better Christmas and New Years!
Jared- For covering for me so much! Oh the trouble I would have got in High School! For pushing me to be a good example. For choosing to serve when you had other great options! For showing me true faith!
Mom and Dad- For not stopping at 9! For putting up with my crap for so long. Dad for teaching me to work hard and to finish what I start. Mom for teaching me to love reading! Mom for rocking me in her chair when I KNOW it must be uncomfortable. For teaching me to love board games. For supporting my decisions even when they seemed completely insane!
The Marines-I love Marines. They are the best kind of people. What a great decision on my part! Turned out A-okay!
Love all you guys Happy Thanksgiving!

I love this post. I couldn't stop crying and Jeremy got very worried. I had to explain how awesome you were in writing something about all your brothers and sisters. I'm thankful Mom & Dad didn't stop at 9 either.
I'm thankful for your help while I lived in Arimo, for being the male role model in my boys lives when there dad couldn't be. I think the responsibility of those two little boys that I placed on you was what saved you. Besides all the good times we had.
"You are my ambassador of Kwan."
I was reading this at work (I've got to stop doing that!) and I had to grab a tissue as well. You are so awesome. You can make us laugh and cry even when you are giving thanks.
Maybe I should start that Pen pal thing up again. I really miss the letters.
Never too early to give thanks.
what is it about Fullmer's? We can always get the allergies going?
Dad wanted to know what I was crying about.
I was gone and then Kata and her boys were at my house and we were all sick so I just read your post. And may I say...way to go! Get the whole family crying in one shot. I loved your list and the thought put into what each of your siblings has meant in your life. Made me stop and think about it as well. You are an amazing man (yup, I just called you a man) and I am glad you are a part of my life. :)
