I am thankful....

I am so thankful this year; for so many things: my new friends in Korea, my old friends in the states, my friends who I've met while traveling Asia, my cozy apartment, my new camera, Korean coffee sticks, outdoor markets with fresh fruit and veggies, yummy Korean food, my loving mom and dad, my really fun sister, "my other half"---Aaron, etc!!  

This Thanksgiving, I invited Aaron, Emily, Truchen and Gill over for dinner.  (Unfortunately, Gill wasn't able to make it.)  It was an intimate affair, which is much more my style!  Emily is from Kenya and Truchen is from South Africa, so Aaron and I were excited to show them what Thanksgiving is all about in America, and they were excited to experience it!  Truchen has said she loved it so much that she'll bring the tradition back home with her, which I think is wonderful!


This was my attempt at a Thanksgiving dinner.  Garlic mashed potatoes, steamed brocoli and carrots, salad, dinner rolls, fruit salad, and a chicken (disguised as a Turkey)!

 The food was delicious, the company was wonderful, and the leftovers are still in my fridge!  In fact, it's lunchtime right now, so I'm gonna have myself a little "chicken" sandwich and some mashed potatoes!  mmmm, mmmm!

Life is good, and I am thankful
