Well here I am sitting in front of the computer, cutting and pasting images for flash cards to study for a lab practicum while logging onto facebook. A great friend I had the pleasure of meeting last year posted about how this time last year she was celebrating Thanksgiving with my family and I. She was telling us about the World Cup games in South Africa (that's where she's from) and she'd met some guys that spoke Spanish and they taught her to say some obscenities (because that is always the best thing to learn in foreign languages of course, telling people off haha). She wasn't pronouncing the phrase quite right and my parents kept trying to figure out what she was saying until they finally realized what it was and they were just cracking up for the longest time, I had no chance of ever figuring out what she was trying to say - I have little experience with profanity in Spanish, I'm not trying to play innocent here, I just don't use Spanish to tell people off. Point is, it just hit me.
Today, this Thanksgiving 2011 is the first Thanksgiving to be celebrated being truly free in the country of the free. There's so much running through my head sometimes it's a little overwhelming but all in all being where I am today, makes me so insanely happy.
Those of you who have followed me through this blog or life know this means the world to me. It is Life. I have it. I am thankful. For my family. My Life.
MUCH LOVE!!!
