The next best thing...

This Thanksgiving completely exceeded my expectations.

As many tend to do when hosting an event, I spent the majority of the day worrying that something would go wrong. There's always that chance, you know? Not enough people, not enough food, not enough wine, etc. Fortunately, the night really was absolutely perfect. My roommates and I had a great turn out, all of our guests were pleased, and the food was awesome. I hadn't anticipated that our crowd would be so international, or that we would have the honor of sharing many people's first Thanksgiving with them. We even did the old go around the room and say what you're thankful for thing, one of the Spanish guys told me later that he felt like he was going to cry when he shared his. Our guests included people from Russia, England, Spain, Venezuela, Canada, and the US. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, I'm still basking in the overall warmth of the evening. So very pleased.

Such a good turn out, we even ran out of utensils...

I also got to Skype with my family in California and my Mommy in Texas. Overall, just a really good day.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
