Happy Thanksgiving

Aloha from the "Rock"

We just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving holiday.

We sure enjoyed our day. We spent the day with our ward family and friends. It was a very home-like feel and we could feel the gratitude of everyone as we enjoyed good food and each others company. Huston deep fried 9 turkeys with our bishop and I made 2 large trays of potatoes, stuffing and rice. Totalling out at 6 full foil trays of wonderful meals. I also made my own pies. That was a first for me!

Thanksgiving is sure not the same without all of our surrounding families but we still made sure to enjoy the day.

I remember last year having a terrible attitude because i was "homesick" and stuck on this rock. I cried a lot and had to work as well. Huston did our whole feast last year solo. He is the man. We had a quaint little thanksgiving with friends last year which was still enjoyable but I will definitely say that this year was better for me only because i think i have grown up a lot. I had a positive outlook and truly was able to appreciate everything that we have to celebrate!!

Only one more Thanksgiving on the rock without our families.
