    Day 124 - No Thanksgiving

    Wow, I didn't even realize that yesterday was Thanksgiving until my mom called me (a little before Midnight). Here it's just like any other day. It's a little strange not celebrating Thanksgiving.

    On Sunday we're planning on making a Thanksgiving lunch with some people at church, including pumpkin pie made with ingredients brought from America. So that'll be almost as good.

    I received an unexpected birthday card from my grandma! Thank you so much!! She was smart and sent it well in advance. But to anyone else who might be thinking of sending me something for my birthday, don't!! Sometimes things take a few weeks to arrive. I might be back in America before it gets here.

    I thought about sending you a card but lost your England address so I was going to send you one on email...if that's ok. Also...I'd like to send you a Christmas card assuming you're back in the States. I'll email you later about it.

    Hahaha we already thought about our options in sending something, but figured it'd never get there. Leave it to Grandma to think way ahead. Expect a phone call from my Mom though. :) We're all really excited to see you back around christmas!
