Thanksgiving Day was yesterday and I must say it was interesting being in another country and celebrating an American holiday. We had the Thanksgiving dinner at 6pm and some people who work at the mission joined us. We had SO much food!!! It was a huge feast and really good. We had so much that we had another Thanksgiving dinner tonight! Last night the kids dressed up as pilgrims and indians. They each were a specific person and had to give a report on that person. It was quite cute. :) The older kids played instruments and sang. It was a lovely evening.
I only have 10 more days left here in Haiti. Wow, so crazy. It seems like yesterday in a way was the first day I was here. So much has happened in the 10 months that I have been here. Lots of wonderful growing experiences. Now I am ready for my new adventure and a new home in Minnesota. It will be very nice. :) Some new details I know that I didn't know on my last post are:
I will be living with Tom's grandma in MN. She has a nice big house with extra bedrooms and she graciously has offered one of them to me! I am really excited to live there and get to know her more.
When Tom comes to CA on the 19th the party will be at my Aunt Carolyn's house. My parents will still be in the apartment so there's no room for a big party. Everyone who wants to meet Tom mark it on your calendar!!!
This week will be getting ready to leave. I need to still go through stuff and then start packing. Tom did take some of my stuff when he was here which has helped a lot. Oh and I also get to spend a lot of time with the Liebs kids this next week because Chris and Kelli will be gone at a marriage retreat. It will be a fun and crazy time i'm sure!
I might not have time to post until I get settled in MN, but I will try to post when I can.
Thank you to all my faithful readers who bear with me on my lack of posting. You guys are great and thank you for the comments that prompt me to post!

I can't believe you've been gone for almost a whole year! I'm very very very excited (very very) to see you in A WEEK! Woo hoo! I hope you have a great week and some good quality time with everyone there. Oh, and that's super fun you get to live with Tom's Grandma. So cute!
Jaz, there is a possible date, but nothing official yet. I'll will let you know when it is official!!! Thank you for your prayers and always commenting. It's good to hear from you :)
I am crazy excited to see you too! It's bittersweet though because we don't get to keep you!!! We'll take what we can get.
I love you,
