Happy late Thanksgiving. I was able to celebrate Thanksgiving twice. Woo Hoo. Now that I am a full meat eater I gobbled down the turkey! Thursday night Mona, my host mother, took me, Dan, and Tim to a turkey buffet at one of the local hotels. Then Saturday night we had a WorldTeach dinner at the WT dorm. I made noodles with the help of my mom's recipe and some frozen noodles that she made while visiting. Everyone loved them! It reminded me a lot of the Thanksgiving I spent in Belgium with Maggie. It was so nice for everyone to bring their favorite traditional Thanksgiving dish. Like in Belgium, we also drank a little too much wine.
Now I am still, two days later, working on digesting all of the food. Things are going well here. I am enjoying teaching. The power outages are getting worse and that is hard to deal with at times. But, bring it on Marshall Islands... I feel like the more challenges that are sent my way the more I feel I can deal with anything. We'll see. Every time I post something like this on the blog it comes true. I bet when I get home I will no longer have a roof over my head.
PS Matt and Mel -- I love the bag and can't wait to read the book! I am going to put down the book I am reading now to enjoy that tasty reading treat tonight. (By the light of my headlamp)

Katie,
I am so glad you like the bag. It is from Yost Van dyke in the BVIs. I bought myself the same bag except in pink!
I am thankful that we will all be together over the holidays!
Can't wait!
