Happy Thanksgiving!!

It’s America’s Thanksgiving Day and for the second year in a row we are spending it in Korea (working!) Although we are very sad to miss celebrating (and eating) with our families, we are very thankful we have the chance to be in Korea today.   The opportunity we have had to spend two years in Korea together has been priceless and something we would never change for anything.  We have learned so much, experienced so much, and grown so much and for that we are beyond thankful for the time we have spent here, not just on Thanksgiving, but forever.  

It’s not a white Thanksgiving here but we have been getting snow flurries off and on the past couple of days.  Yesterday it snowed quite hard but only for a short time so it didn’t stick long.  It is definitely cold enough now though.  I think my eyeballs froze on the way to and from work today…

We will officially celebrate American Thanksgiving this weekend when we have several friends come over to our house to eat a lot of food.  We have ordered a turkey dinner that comes with all of the essentials and our friends will be bringing things to share as well.  I'm also going to bake some extra desserts because it is very, very important we don't run out of dessert!  When we decided we wanted to have a real Thanksgiving dinner this year we knew we would need to invite everyone we knew in order to not be eating leftovers for the next three months.  However, once we started inviting people and counted how many were coming, we realized our small our house is and that a 12 pound turkey may not go quite that far…  So now all we can do is hope we can squeeze everyone in our little home, they don’t mind sitting on the floor, and there is enough food to feed us all!  One of my friends told me not to worry because it will be just like a regular Thanksgiving when the whole family is together.  Hopefully she’s right!  As our season in Korea is going to quickly come to an end in only three months, we are very thankful we have the chance to celebrate a special day with some of the wonderful people we have met during our time here.

We hope all of our family and friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving spending time with each other, remembering to be thankful for each day we can spend together!!  We miss you all!
