Of course I can't even begin to explain how much of an amazing experience I am having here in the Dominican Republic. I have seen myself grown more then ever. I am a stronger person, because of the people I have encountered and things I have seen. I will be forever grateful. However, every now and then there comes a point in time where I can't help, but think of "home". The everyday conversations with family and friends that I sometimes took for granted. This will be the first Thanksgiving Day I have ever spent away from my family. I can't say that I am looking forward to it, but I am truly grateful for previous Thanksgiving Day memories I do have. The love, the food (of course), the laughter, the reminiscing of events throughout our lives, and the moments that can only be shared and appreciated with loved ones. It is no doubt that home is definitely where the heart is. A little message to my friends and family: I love you and I'll be home soon!
