Thanksgiving Day!

Thanksgiving this year was very different for me.  I have to say it was one of the best Thanksgivings I have ever  had.   Our on boarding group got back together for Thanksgiving and it was just an amazing day.  Two friends from on boarding were gracious enough to host us at their house and we all gathered for a meal of duck, chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggies and more...it was good times and good laughs.  It was interesting because it really felt like a Thanksgiving day back home.  While a few of us were on our way over there we all had a moment where we forgot the stores would be open because it just felt like we were back home and everything would be closed.

We made turkey hands and ate and drank wine together like it was old times.  We all laughed at the memories or our on boarding days and emails exchanged between all of us before we made it to China.  It just felt so nice to be around the people that started this adventure with me. They truly feel like family.  The people that you have shared the best of times and sometimes the worst of times.  They shared the beginning the craziness that was the flight to China, on boarding and figuring out China.
We went out later that night and just got to let loose and have fun it was great to have some down time with these people again.  I know I shared the photos on facebook but here are some of my favorites.
