I am thankful for…

…my loving and wonderful family. They listen to my ups and downs. They are there through my crying and laughing. I love you all!


…cards I get in the mail and comments I receive on my blog. They let me know that people are still thinking about me even though I might be far away.

…my fantastic Fulbright friends (and Nico). They are always there supporting me, making me smile, and providing solid words of advice. Thanks guys!

…my new computer. It makes life a lot easier, especially since it has a built-in camera that I can Skype with.

…my wonderful boyfriend, Roberto. He is incredibly patient with my Spanish, he always listens to my complaints about Señora Nena, and he makes me laugh every day.

…my camera. It helps me capture the beauty and adventure that surrounds me.

…my mom’s yummy apple pie recipe. It was a big hit with the students at our Thanksgiving feast today.

…the great people I have met here in Mexico. They have invited me to be a part of their lives and have shared their beautiful country with me.

…all you lovely people out there that still read my blog. I hope you are having a very happy Thanksgiving and enjoying the company of family and friends.

Abrazos, Nicole
