Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  It is weird to me that I am not cooking or stuffing my face with food (turkey, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie) at this very moment.  Instead, I am preparing to do some homework.  So far today I have gone to class and cleaned the apartment.  The realtor is coming tonight to show the apartment to prospective tenants and so that meant I had to clean.  In the real world no one really cares how clean the apartment is except me and for those of you who know about my cleanliness...enough said :)

I do want to take a moment though to share what I am thankful for today and everyday.  I am most thankful for Carsten-for his love, patience and support.  I am thankful for my family and wonderful friends-who although they are far away from me now, I know they are only a phone call away.  And finally, I am thankful for the support and encouragement I have received from people while on this journey abroad.
