Holidays

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope that everyone reading this are sitting with their families and their soldiers and enjoying the holiday! However, unfortunately, I know this is not the case for everyone. Last year, my brother was in Afghanistan, so I know the holidays can be hard knowing someone you love is not home, where they belong.

One way we learned to cope with it was having Thanksgiving on another day. We celebrated all our holidays when he came home. We had Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas morning, Mother's Day, and basically all the other holidays that we were missing as a family.

Luckily, for us, this year we are in Washington, where my brother is stationed. We are having Thanksgiving dinner as a family. Although the rest of my family is not here, it is worth it to be with the family that is always there.

I hope everyone has an amazing holiday!
