Thanksgiving is today and I'm definitely sad that I'm not home to celebrate with all of you. I love being able to squeeze all my little cousins and play with them, play euchre with both sides of my family (maybe winning $5-$10 on my mom's side -- I'm just that good ;) ), eat some awesome food, gossip with my aunts, make fun of my uncles, and have my whole family in the same room together. It's always such a wonderful day filled with so much love.
I have SO much to be thankful for in my life...
This year I am most thankful that I have the opportunity to spend ten months in this beautiful Country!
Since I have been in Honduras so many of you have sent me care packages filled with all kinds of wonderful things. So I want to take this opportunity to thank my mom, Robbie, my grandpa, my Aunts: Karen, Mary Jo, Mary, Kathy, Peggy, Cindy. My cousins: Julia, Braeden, Libby, Makayla, and Audrey. Also Julianne and Bethany Allspaw, Brie, and Tony Layer. And all of you who donated things/money to me before I left. I could honestly fill a whole blog post with names. I'm overwhelmed by the goodness in other people!

I hope each one of you has an incredible Thanksgiving celebration with your families!
