Thankful for...

- the chance to live in this great city

- my lovey husband (of almost 10 months)

- elsie*

- wood/laminate floors and for not buying any rugs yet (*see above)

- my big, wondey family

(some young lookin' 61 year old parents, 3 brothers, 3 sisters, 1 sis-in-law, 2 bro-in-law, 2 nieces and a nephew)

(i'll miss the McConn Thanksgiving zoo excursion and Mom's newly updated, fab dining room)

- my new family (Art's parents...a mother-in-law that defies all stereotypes..I can honestly say I love talking to her!)

- Skype

- Christmas in Graz (pics to come soon...it's all set up and beauty!)

- an intensive German class that paid me!

- new friends i've met here

- old friends i'm missing back home

- Graz's 'milder' climate (than the rest of Austria..I couldn't handle colder)

- no traffic for the past 8 months!

- and much, much more that I don't have time to jot down as I'm thankful I get to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends here in a couple of hours!

Mahlzeit!
