¡HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I sure hope that everyone has a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING! This holiday is a little bit different for me this year! I just got to talk to my family and imagine as if I was there with them as they are hottubbing, watching football, cooking, and relaxing, but ya know I am not, and that is the way things are! It doesn´t take away from the fact that I miss them a ton and wish I was there! Then again it helps that today just feels like another day here in Bolivia since they do not celebrate Thanksgiving! We are going over to the Timmers house this evening to indulge in what I anticipate...a mighty feast! I sure hope I will be able to enjoy it as much as I want to! Tuesday afternoon I came down with a strong and pretty fun (ok what sickness is fun?) virus! Well, we are suspecting that it was virus since it only lasted about 24 hours! Plus, Michelle and Justin didn´t get sick and we had all eaten the same things! But, man did it knock me out or what! Initially I thought I was coming down with a cold, but my boat got rocked when I had to run to the toilet and take care of business! I think I am also coming down with a cold too, that is the unfortunate thing! So, these past 2 days were my much needed days of rest and time to empty my stomach to get ready for the big feast, ¿nové? (right?)! We were also given this afternoon to kind of relax, get some things done, get ready for the feast, and talk to family members! Which was totally needed for all of us! Thank you Lord! We are off shortly to celebrate Día de acción de gracias!! ¡Chao mi familia and mis amigos!
