I've been meaning to post a quick update on a few things for awhile, but I just never got around to it. Before I get into the standard 'Update' format, let me say that I am extremely Thankful. I'm thankful for my family, I'm thankful for my friends, I'm thankful for the online community I'm a part of, I'm thankful for my job. Not everything is perfect. In fact very few things are great, let alone perfect, but I'm still Thankful for them. You see, my family situation isn't great but I'm Thankful that I have my mother, my brothers, my nephews, and my niece. I'll go over most of these below, but know that while it's easier to write about the bad, I'm still Thankful for all of these things.
