Thanksgiving Day is a time to really give thanks, and a time for us to see the cornucopia of friends we've made this year. Rarely do we get the privilege of seeing so many of our friends at grapevine in one night, but for Thanksgiving they gathered together. Several students we've only met on campus came to join us in celebration of the American holiday, and several others who are often too busy to come to events took time out of their schedules to share with us. We did anticipate a big crowd, and were preparing for it. In fact, Greg jokingly said, "If I don't get full on Thanksgiving Day because we've got too many students here, I'm not going to be too thankful." But after 43 students showed up, he changed his tune. We had enough to eat, and more importantly we experienced the blessing of being together with friends, and with family.
