We had a fabulous Thanksgiving this year! Our friend Jessica organized a fun potluck Thanksgiving dinner for a bunch of families in our branch. We had it on this lovely deck on campus that is right on the ocean, every one brought dishes, I brought pie and rolls. We had a few turkeys, lots of stuffing and potatoes. It was all delicious! We ate as the sun set over the beautiful, peaceful Caribbean Sea. It was fabulous!
Our life here is stressful and crazy. Ben is constantly stressed with school work. Medical school is so difficult. Living in a 3rd world country is difficult. Chase has been difficult all week (those darn top teeth are just pushing against his little gums and haven't broken through yet). I'm lonely and stressed a lot of the time. Today was a good reminder to just take a little time to be thankful for what we do have. I'm thankful for my main man Ben and my sweet little son, for the gospel that brings us so much peace, happiness and direction, for our health and a home to live in, for wonderful supportive families back in the states, and tonight especially for our new friends here on the island.
Happy Thanksgiving!
That's so fun that such a big group was able to get together and celebrate Thanksgiving!
