HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I hope everyone is finding the time to celebrate this holiday, my favorite holiday, with family and friends. Even though I'm halfway across the world, in a country that has never heard of Thanksgiving, I keep in mind all of the things I am thankful for (in no particular order):

  1. My family
  2. My friends
  3. Aaron (who qualifies under both 1 and 2, but deserves his own honorable mention)
  4. A country that gives me the freedom of speech, endless opportunities, and some diversity
  5. A new country that gives me all my food on a stick or in a bag, including, but not limited to: meat, bread, noodles, fruit, and beer.
  6. The impending addition to the family, that I am already so in love with from 6,000 miles away
  7. A healthy body and a healthy mind
  8. A puppy dog who is missed more than he knows (even though I hope someone is telling him!) and for Natalie, Andy and Olivia for spoiling him when I'm not
  9. Email, and the so many of you who keep in touch on a daily/weekly basis - appreciated more than you know!
  10. The lone supply of macaroni and cheese in China (thanks Jess!)
