Happy Thanksgiving

Hi everyone - Happy Thanksgiving from Melbourne!
As Andy and I sat down to our own little turkey feast tonight, we discussed various items that we are thankful for:
*That we have such wonderful families and friends, which have helped to make this adventure both possible, yet difficult. Possible through all of the support and assistance; difficult because it is harder than we had predicted to be so far away.
*That Buddy is with people that love him, in a location which we are sure he loves.
*That even when we are feeling 'broke' we are actually far from it in comparison to some.
*That we have had this opportunity to live in another country, thus allowing us to appreciate all of the things the United States offers to its citizens. We discussed how neither of us has ever been particularly patriotic nor unpatriotic, but that living abroad has allowed us the opportunity to view our home country from a very different perspective - certainly a more appreciative perspective.
*That we are both quite healthy (Andy put a vote in for his knee feeling better).
*That our move so far has gone quite well. We reflected back upon the past 3 months and all that has happened and all of the emotions that we have worked through.
*We are thankful for each other and to be here together.

I'm positive that Andy would be thankful if some sort of NFL game miraculously popped up on our TV right now, but there's only so much you can do, right?

We wish all of you a most wonderful Thanksgiving. Don't hesitate to tell those that you love that you love them, and if they are there with you, give them a true hug.
