Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was really nice this year, relaxing and filled with family and food. We tried to really cherish the moments we had with everyone, knowing that next year at this time, we will be sharing turkey and pumpkin pie with other expats in a land that does not celebrate this holiday. As for this year, I thought of all the things I am thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful husband and healthy beautiful daughters. I am thankful for my parents and my husband's parents. I am thankful for my grandparents, my brothers, and the wonderful niece and nephew that they gave me, and the sister-in-law who feels more like a real sister every time we get together. I am thankful we have good friends that have made living in Columbus so much easier since we do not have family here. And yes, I am thankful that my husband has been given this opportunity to move to England for his career. Next year, we will celebrate Thanksgiving in a strange land, but I will make sure to remember what I am truly thankful for.
