Thanksgiving

This is my fifth Thanksgiving in Nicaragua, my fifth away from family. 

It's still weird wearing shorts on a day that I associate with scarves and boots. It's still weird watching the parade without my sister next to me and my mom baking in the background. It's on days like these that I wish I was back in Omaha. 

The good news is that there is much to be thankful for here. My students, my friends, my job that I adore. A God who loves me and gives me everything I need. And while I am far away from home, technology bridges the gap. My mom can email me her stuffing recipe and I can email her the photo of me cooking it. It didn't turn out as good as hers, but it was good enough :)

Happy Thanksgiving from warm and sunny Nicaragua!
