This may be after the Thanksgiving holiday but every day we have so much to be thankful for. I haven't written since I left Cooperstown. Since then I have finished the first quarter of my sophomore year, lived with 3 roommates in an apartment style dorm, skied Snowbird with my dad, carved pumpkins, surprised my brother in Phoenix to watch him play baseball, competed at Tiger Challenge, volunteered at the Presidential Debate, acted as Co-President of the lacrosse team, voted for my first time and continued to grow as a person. This last quarter was a learning experience and I've become more faithful. It was a lot different than freshmen year. Some things that used to seem so excited weren't so this year, not to say things weren't a lot of fun. I'm excited to see what the next two quarters bring.
Thanksgiving was spent in Spokane, WA. Uncle Kevin received a new kidney from Uncle Rob on November 13. It is a beautiful thing to see my uncles both healthy. Uncle Kevin will no longer need dialysis which is such a blessing since he had to go in a few times a week and his life was limited. I thank God for allowing this transplant to go so smoothly. It was great to be surrounded by family for a week; to see everyone come together in support of my uncles. We also celebrate Aunt Nancy's recovery from breast cancer. What a strong lady she is. We had 19 people at Aunt Miki&Uncle Rob's house for Thanksgiving dinner including my grandparents. I haven't seen extended family in over a year so it was great to be together! While in Spokane I got to hang out with friends whom I haven't seen in a while. God continues to put people in my life for a reason and I'm eternally grateful.
Tomorrow morning I set out on an adventure with Irene to Costa Rica for 20 days. We're studying Spanish and then just traveling around. I can't believe that it's finally here. I'm really excited to go, see and do! Bon Voyage!!
