Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I have so much to be thankful for... my amazing family and friends, foreigner, health, happiness, the experience of living in Sweden, and everything I have been so lucky to have in my life.  I'm sad that I am not able to spend thanksgiving with my family but being away really helps me realize how blessed and thankful I am for the life God has given me.

This is not my first thanksgiving without my parents.... I remember one thanksgiving that they were in Europe and we stayed with my Nana.  We had thanksgiving at my Aunt Linda's house and my parents called and told us they had hamburgers for thanksgiving dinner!  This is also not my first thanksgiving without my sister.  Michelle was in Italy a few years ago.  It isn't even my first thanksgiving out of the country because we celebrated thanksgiving in Costa Rica with the Havlicek's a few years ago, but it is my first thanksgiving without my brother Christopher.. unless you count before he was born which I don't remember!  I am so thankful that I have been able to have so many different thanksgivings and that I have always been able to spend them with the people I love.

I was going to make some thanksgiving food for Foreigner and I but I decided it was too much work for two people.  Instead I made my Nana's german potato salad, which I love and it always reminds me of home.

I hope you all have a blessed and thankful Thanksgiving and if you are spending it at my Mom's house I will be able to see you through video chat!

Thanksgiving was a lot warmer for us in Costa Rica!
