Happy Thanksgiving!

I woke up this morning (well this afternoon) and had almost 20 Thanksgiving text messages. It was nice to get a Thanksgiving greeting from fighters like Clay Guida, Manny Gambuyran, and Thomas Denny, and also people from the MMA industry… oh and Bruce Buffer too

Today is a day we give thanks and I am very thankful and feel blessed for the life that God has given me. I am having THE time of my life right now, I have the best job in the world, I have the greatest and wonderful friends, and my family is all that I’ll ever need in this life to make me ME.

Thank you to those of you who continue to check out my site to see what I’ve BeenUp2

Today I am going to stop by my best friend Melissa’s house to see her two sons (one of them my God son), her belly (she is pregnant with boy number 3), and her family too. I love her family! Later on in the evening I am going to go to my Dad’s side and visit that side of my family… I miss them!. My immediate family celebrates our Thanksgiving on the Friday after Thanksgiving so everyone who has other family events could attend them today.

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is when my family sits around the table to wrap lumpia while we are listening to some Marvin Gaye or Earth Wind and Fire. My entire family is musically inclined so when it comes to music we are ALL just singing and laughing and having a wonderful time. Every Thanksgiving we share each others recipes and even learn the recipes that have been passed down to generation to generation too.

I can’t wait to see all of my family and eat all this wonderful Filipino food and Turkey too.

Thank you Lord for giving us this day to celebrate the giving of Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving yall!
