Thanksgiving!

I can't believe the holidays are here again, but here we go again! Tomorrow we fly up to Oregon for a few days to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Sr. Caldwells (hehe) and Chelsey, and we both cannot wait! For a few reasons:
1.) Holidays with family are unbeatable, and we can't wait to spend time with those we love.
2.) Oregon is beautiful!
3.) For me personally, it will be SO wonderful to escape the turmoil of the city. I think if you don't live in a city or a big financial center, it is easy to forget what is going on in the national and global economy, and the work world in general. I was telling Nolan that I feel a sort of kinship with people I ride the Muni with now, because we're all worrying about the same things. Tensions are running high, and I'm not even going to try and explain it in here. Just trust me: it's a different world down here (especially in my staffing world, where we see the good and bad sides of almost every industry!).
4.) For Nolan, I think it will be good for him to escape the stresses of school for awhile. He loves it, but vacations are necessary and appreciated!

All that being said, Thanksgiving is looking to be a great one, and we're excited!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
