Thanksgiving in Alexandra

Well here I am at school, about to start making plans for my writing lessons this week, when I thought blogging sounded more fun! (And I don't need my lesson until tomorrow anyways ;))

This was our first weekend not traveling and it turned out to be a lot of fun! We decided that since we weren't going to be home for Thanksgiving this year, we would have it here and invite people from school that we work with. We cooked a big turkey (and by we I mean Ellen) and all made our favorite dishes from home. Everyone had a good time and really seemed to enjoy the food. They were excited to celebrate with us, none of them had been invited to previous Thanksgivings held by ISU students before. I think it earned us some brownie points! I'm excited to graze on left over turkey and other left overs all week. This morning I am eating left over strawberry fluff for breakfast, what could be better??
 The roomies with our feast!
The fooooood! :)

Now that our Thanksgiving weekend is over I am slightly depressed starting another week. The weeks here seem to fly by so fast and we only have three weeks left! It is such a sad thing to think of how much time I have left. There is still so much I want to see and do. Not to mention going home to cold weather doesn't seem like any fun at all! It will be good seeing everyone for Christmas. I have been getting lots of emails from Emma and she has sent me a couple of hugs, so it will be fun to see the kids again and get some real hugs! Until then, I am excited to squeeze in as much as possible in these last three and a half weeks!

Until next time,

Michelle
