Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone.

I'm going to miss celebrating thanksgiving stateside.  Just thinking about a nice plump turkey with all the fixin's makes me long for home.  And the turkey jook that comes after (an annual tradition in my family).  That's like my FAVORITE.  Ooh, topped off with a nice pumpkin spice latte. Yum.  Did I mention that I don't even get the holiday off, either?  Boo.  Ungratefulness can really eat at you.  And moreso, it diverts from Him who is the Giver of all good gifts.  Perhaps this Thanksgiving I have more to give thanks for than ever before.  That may seem like an odd statement following how I started this entry, but it's totally legit--as I've been here, there is not one thing I lack.  Not even Starbucks :) 

[For the record--AC and I made our first trip to Starbucks only yesterday.  Caramel macchiato in the motherland?  You bet.]
