Today is Thanksgiving, and Nick and I spent it teaching a full day's worth of classes. Tomorrow we also have classes, as well as Saturday. No holiday for us. No turkey either...it's not something we can buy easily here. Even if we could buy a turkey, we have no oven to cook it in.
But really, it's okay. While we miss everyone back home (and we REALLY miss the time off from work) we have so much to be thankful for. We have had a blast these past four (yes, really FOUR already!) months and we are looking forward to the rest of our adventure in Asia. We have great, loving families back home who are in our thoughts and hearts (and luckily we get to keep in touch with them fairly easily via the Internet and Skype) and we have made a nice home for us here in Korea.
Since I couldn't make turkey I made baked chicken with garlic and I did my best to make gravy (hooray for milk and dried chicken stock and lots of spices!). We ate it with loads of veggies and homemade mashed potatoes. It was a nice, slightly nontraditional Thanksgiving dinner, but as close to tradition as we could get.
We hope everyone is having a wonderful day and that everyone is as lucky to be as happy as we are! Happy Thanksgiving and love to all!
