thanksgiving dinner

It's kind of late at night and I need to go to sleep seeing as how I'm a responsible young adult who every year (oddly around my birthday) seems to have a new revelation as to just how much sleep I need and feel happier and happier to give myself those additional hours of sleep. THAT was a looooooong sentence.

So here are some pictures from this weekend. I'll write more later explaining my past couple of weeks, but right now I just want to post these so you have something to look at. Be sure to tune in later for explainations.


Rusty, Jason, and Aaron.


We had a small chugging contest.
Jon, me, Travis A., and Robbie Dobbie

Greg, Marianne, Denver, and Peter.


Fake smiles all around!!!

Just so you all know...
I'm thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I'm thankful for the gift God gave me by sending me over here to experience Japan. I'm thankful that I have the use of my arms, legs, fingers, eyes, toes, and every other part of my body. I'm thankful for my shelter, food, clothing, and education.

More to come...
