Thanksgiving Festivities

Today was my first Thanksgiving not spent with my family. Going into it, I was a bit bummed, knowing that I wouldn't be watching football with my Grandad, making gravy with my Grandmom, and fighting with my brothers. But I ended up having one of the best Thanksgivings I can remember. A bunch of my friends from the Brewery came over and we ate a ton of amazing food and boozed on mimosas the entire day. I haven't laughed that hard since, well, a long time.

I feel like I'm finally settling in and that I can call this place Vail my home. I have some great friends, a fun job, and I ski almost every day. What's not to like?

I won't be back to Jersey for Christmas either. Regardless of how many people grace the beer pong table that day, Christmas will be the hardest. It's my favorite holiday and to think about not spending it with my family kills me. What makes it worse is that I have to work double time in the couple weeks around it. Which means working all day Christmas Eve and New Years Eve (aka my birthday) and not skiing for a week due to blackout dates. I guess it's a small price to pay for my lifestyle this year though.

It looks like I'm finally getting a new roomate in a few days. I guess I can't walk around naked anymore.
