The last few years of traveling outside of the US and seeing all of the different living circumstance and economies has made me very thankful and appreciative for what I am blessed with. This year I am especially thankful for all of these things and many more! It has been one heck of a year and I want to thank everyone who has had a hand in helping me and my family through 2 different moves, adopting from a foreign country, and having a baby (almost all at the same time). I have the best family and friends that anyone could ask for!
