Saturday Jan 16

Yesterday started out like any normal Saturday. I woke up and ate breakfast. Then I tried to plan my day, and I looked at the movie listings. There was a listing for Carmen live from the Met at 1pm. So I figured why would I go see the opera at the movies when I could easily go to the opera house? I hopped on the train and went to the Met. I was so incredibly excited, and they were sold out. I was incredibly disappointed. I wandered around Central Park and hung out with my cousins in Brooklyn. It was a very spontaneous day.

Thanksgiving in Brooklyn

I had Thanksgiving with my father's cousin's wife's family up in Brooklyn. It was wonderful. Everyone was welcoming, and the food was lovely.
Last Thanksgiving I spent with my friend Clint and his family in Wichita, KS.
The Thanksgiving before I was in Greece.

On the train riding back from this Thanksgiving I thought about these past three Thanksgivings. They were all very different from each other, and none of them were with my immediate family. Yet, the people who opened their homes to me are my family. I am thankful for them.
