Today it was my first Thanksgiving away from home. While I was still with family I got a large bout homesickness today. I miss my mom's simple stovetop stuffing and all of desserts that me and my sisters come up with. I miss my dad's amazing turkeys. I missed playing games with people who make me laugh out loud. But at the same time I got to try amazing new foods and ate myself sick. I successfully made my first pumpkin pie and it was quite gorgeous despite the small burn on the surface. And while I didn't play games with the same people I usually do, I still got to play some games and had some good laughs. Even though I miss my family and things have changed a lot this year I am still grateful for the new. By the new I mean things like:
New TV shows that I've come to love like Doctor Who, Sherlock and Once upon a time. Also new events, like mud runs which is something that I get to do with my sisters. A new roommate Carolyn who is absolutely and positively amazing. A
new place to live,which is giving me all kinds of new experiences. New job, one that helps me keep my head above water and I really enjoy. A new boyfriend who makes me feel special and wanted every day.
I hope everybody enjoyed their Thanksgiving. I am very much looking forward to coming home next week and seeing my AZ friends and family!
