Estoy Agradecida.

Hey there, I know I'm a little late for Thanksgiving (almost a week) but since it is my ten month month-a-versary with Chile, I thought I'd do a "what I'm grateful for" post today instead. Here are a few of the things I'm feeling thankful for on this lovely Wednesday evening...

I'm thankful for the ability to spend half of my

walk home from work with my toes in the ocean.

20 minutes by sea and 20 minutes by land :)

 

I'm thankful that I met this little (ok, HUGE)

 guy on land instead of on his turf, in the water.

(eeek)

 I'm thankful for a job that I love, working with
crazy, silly, fun students like these...

I'm thankful for this amazing man who
came all the way down to Chile to spend 
the past 6 months with me.  Te amo mi amor.

I'm thankful for the wonderful friends that I've met 
in Chile.  Without them, this experience wouldn't be  
half as amazing as it has been.

 

I'm thankful for all of the fabulous folks back home
that have made an effort to stay in my life, 
even though we're almost 6,000 miles apart.
 I miss ya'll like crazy and can't wait till we're reunited at last.  
(Looking through old pictures to find these sure confirmed that)

I'm thankful for opportunities
to enjoy gorgeous places like these ...

 

Rio de Janeiro,  Brazil

  

 Chico, California

Värmdö, Sweden

Machu Picchu, Peru

 

Angel Island, California

Iquique, Chile

 Small Print: Photo creds for Machu Picchu & Iquique go to two of my friends.  The rest are mine :)

Although (for now) there are still a lot of things up in the air as far as the future is concerned, I must say, I am very very thankful for this crazy, beautiful life I'm living.  Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone and happy month-a-versary Chile!
