It was the day after Thanksgiving 2006. My entire extended family had gathered at my brother's "cabin" on the banks of the South Fork of the Snake River for a traditional turkey dinner the day before. My mother and step-dad went home to Pocatello after dinner, but the rest of us stayed overnight, sleeping on couches or wherever else we could find a soft spot.

I started telling people I was going to transition over the Labor Day weekend. After much worry and discussion, I decided the best time to tell my family would be when everyone was together for Thanksgiving. However, I didn't want to disrupt Thanksgiving dinner, so I told everyone that I had an announcement for the family that I wanted to make the next day.
