I have realized over the past few days that I am growing up in a sense. I officially missed my first Thanksgiving. It was really weird, I must admit. It was weird knowing that back home everything was closed down and I was sitting in class and going on with my day like it was any other day, since it was here in Wales. Life seems to be changing every time I blink. One minute it’s missing Thanksgiving, the next another friend gets engaged or married. It’s weird. I don’t deal with change well, but apparently I am being forced to learn to deal with it better and realize that this is life, it would be boring if everything were the same all of the time…right?
We had a Thanksgiving celebration on Saturday so that we could feel somewhat like we hadn’t missed out on our American life and traditions and so that some of our British friends here could also experience a Thanksgiving meal…I think they were somewhat overwhelmed at the amount of food. I officially made my first pecan pie…one was slightly over done, but apparently the other tasted good. Here are a few pictures from the day, compliments of Charity…(I hope that’s ok)
The masses of food...
