[…] Speaking of reminiscing, I couldn’t help but be so thankful for the amazing Thanksgiving we experienced last year in Prague. I expected it to be sad and lonely, far away from our families, […]

Yay homemade mac & cheese! As good as it is, it’s weird that something inside of me just really wants that yummy kinda artificial Kraft/Annie’s cheese sauce taste, ya know?
That is so nice you were invited over to your boss’s! You must work for a good school that cares about its teachers.

Haha I am afraid of that lipstick…not sure I can pull it off…but I love it anyway.
Thanks so much for reading and for commenting! I LOVE the sushi idea :).

Hi Cynthia! Thanks so much for your comment. I read your post but haven’t had a chance to comment yet (ack!) and I have to agree–it’s not like my Thanksgiving holidays back home were Norman Rockwell, anyway! So I understand where you’re coming from, I think. They were actually usually stressful with family and cooking and me being annoyed that my family insists on keeping up the tradition of the just the women in the kitchen and the men watching football.
While the actual holiday wasn’t great (but we did give homemade mac’n’cheese a go–not bad!) my boss had us over for “American” Thanksgiving on Saturday and it ended up being such a fun day, probably better than most of my “real” holidays in the States!
I hope you and Alex had a nice weekend and celebrated a little. In any case, the Christmas markets are now open which are WAY better than Thanksgiving, if you ask me ;).

Aww thanks Yalanda! I love your list…especially the part about me ;). I’m so grateful to have you as a “blend” too! And I’m thankful for my guy as well…and freakin’ Netflix lol. Especially now that it’s almost Christmas so I can watch all my holiday favorites!!
I hope your Thanksgiving in Korea was a decent one! So weird to work!!

Thank you! I didn’t realize how many other similar posts would be out there, haha :). It’s not my favorite holiday but it was surprisingly bittersweet! I think the hardest part was just having to work all day and not having the usual holiday.

Lovely thankfulness! Cheers to you for being so mindful about the good things in life. I always a feel a bit down on holidays abroad, too; my antidote for that a year ago was a made-from-scratch pumpkin pie (even cooked the pumpkin; never again!) and this year it was sushi 😉 PS Enjoyed the “new red lipstick that I’m a little afraid of” line.

What a sweet post Amy and such a nice thankful list <3 I feel quite similar to you… in fact I wrote a whole post about my weird Thanksgiving thoughts that I almost didn't publish! But I have to be honest 🙂 Thanksgivings abroad aren't always the greatest but I hope you and E will enjoy this lovely weekend and have have a little dinner to celebrate too.

What an inspiring post Amy! I’m thankful:
1) That I found your blog and we’ve become blends
2) For an incredible life journey so far
3) For Netflix and co-workers who enable my ability to watch Homeland each week
4) For a husband who is my absolute best friend!
