As the name suggests this is the first time in almost 7 years that I have celebrated thanksgiving, and Christmas and New Years for that matter. Usually spend this time of year in Iraq, or where ever else I am needed. But for the first time since I joined the Army, I haven't. I must admit the concept of family holidays did not interest me much. But I'm also no longer a national asset sooooo yeah, different mind set now I think ^_^.

It was very nice to spend the day with my daughter we ate a lot, we went to shimu's house to spend time with his family since my family only consists of 3 people, me, my daughter, and my dad, who isn't even in the country anyway ^_^. Plus his family is much more lively than mine anyway. I don't think I'm gonna go home until after new years. I have no family in Los Angeles anyway ^_^.
