Everyone who knows me, knows that I love any excuse to stuff
my face. And believe it or not,
stuffing your face with rice just isn’t all that satisfying. So when Peace Corps Volunteers have the
opportunity to binge eat American food, we certainly take advantage of
that.
Last Saturday we were fed a lovely Thanksgiving dinner,
provided by Peace Corps staff and volunteers. Believe me, I was skeptical about the quality of what we
would be fed. Most importantly I
was concerned about the amount of whipped cream that would be present at this
event. However, as soon as I saw
the spread of food, all my fears were wiped away. I can honestly attest that it was an AMAZING dinner. We all ate until we were sick, but it
was definitely worth it.

It was certainly a night to remember how thankful I am for all the blessings in my life. I am so thankful to have such an amazing and supportive group of friends and family back home. I am thankful for my Peace Corps family (we're all crazy, but somehow it works). I am so thankful for this experience that has reminded me how important it is to never give up on your dreams (I know it's cheesy, but hey, it's Thanksgiving). Basically, I'm one appreciative gal.
And no, there was no whipped cream, but I was so happily
surrounded by cookies, cupcakes, pie and donuts, that I could have cared
less. And oh yeah, I was
surrounded by some pretty awesome people, too.
