This time of year reminds us to stop and think about everything that we have to be thankful for. The list is almost unending, so I will only share a few recent examples.
We are thankful for:
1. Hot water bottles that keep our feet warm on cold nights.
2. Coffee shops on every corner. They are wonderful places to study, and there are always hot drinks.
3. Our language teacher, who laughs with us, teaches us and has been extremely patient when we need to go back over things for the 2nd or 3rd time. She brought us some home-grown oranges that were far better than anything from a store.
4. We are thankful for being able to get some emergency medical attention, even if it did mean driving to Hungary; 9 hours in total darkness on curvy, foggy, mountain roads for a 2AM shot. Plus, who can honestly say that they've gotten a shot at 2 in the morning?5. We are thankful for the bread store down the hill from our house that makes fresh bread and pastries every morning. We are even more thankful for the lady in the bread store who helps us order things correctly and is always very kind.
6. We are thankful for Sahara's teachers who deal with all of her moods, but constantly love on her. We are also thankful that Sahara has decided to try the food at school and now realizes how much she loves it. She was a little worried that if she ate Bosnian food, she wouldn't be American any more.
7. We are thankful to have found furniture for good prices, and we look forward to being able to sit on it someday, when it arrives.
8. We are thankful for all the parks around our city. They are great places for Sahara to play, and for us to meet people.
9. We are also thankful for the people that we are getting to meet and we hope to continue to meet lots more.
10. Lastly, we are thankful for all of you who encourage us, remember us and share in our lives. From our hearts to yours we want to say we are thankful for you.
