Giving thanks.

As Thanksgiving brought the 3 F's [Friends, Family, and Food], I took the time to make sure I gave thanks to everything and everyone that's helped shape my restless nights into peaceful ones to say the least.

• Special shout outs to Lynn, Myron, Julie, BaoNgoc, Brian, TuVy, Thuy, Mai, Thinh, Viet, Sumit, Tim, Julieann, and Phi for everythinggggg. The fact that you guys like having me around surprises me but to step in and being a friend means so much more.
• In the last month, I've driven 4,000 miles. Since Vayla, I've driven 10,000. Imagine all of the speed traps and cops between BR and New Orleans east. I guarantee that the Valentine radar is one of the best out there.
• Pandas have become a brand name in about a year and a half. What started out as a basketball team has now grown to sponsor a football and volleyball team. Giving people an opportunity to play a sport they have a passion for is something that I'm always up for. It gave me the final push to start my own company. Once everything goes through, I have my first project lined up to get this business started.
• Free music will always put a smile on my face. I take it for granted and use it to my advantage because of the quantity of genres that I listen to. I use concerts to support my favorite artists.
• Words With Friends has been the best thing ever to help me get through the long days at work.
• Lastly, I'm thankful for what started off as 'The Top Gets Higher' my blogspot was an everyday escape. My thoughts put into words and for anyone to see. My thought process defined and refined.

Not one spoken word or emotion can describe what kind of year it's been like. In the end, I want to thank those who've been here since the beginning, just joined me along the way, and even those who have decided to part ways. 2010 was supposed to and eventually turned out to be the year of the happy. 2011 will be the year of adventures. Get set and let's go.
