Girl Time

Today was fun - it was my day to be home with Taylor, and we were livin' it up with 'girl time'! This morning we had a visit from another young mom who actually lives about 3 hours north, but has been in town this week visiting family. I met Anna several months back when we first moved here, but this is the first time we've actually had some decent time together. It was fun to have her over and get to know her a bit, and Taylor had lots of fun holding her 4 month old baby (with Mommy's help, of course!).

Then this afternoon, we had a visit from the other Anna who now lives here. Anna was part of the first internship, went home and got married, and just recently came back to New Zealand with her husband to be involved full time in the house of Prayer. Anna is awesome - a fellow American and also a good friend; I'm so glad she's back!

On a completely different note, I called our local butcher today and ordered our Thanksgiving turkey. I was quite pleased to discover that finding a turkey 'round these parts of the world isn't as hard as I thought it would be; quite disappointed to find out that it probably would have been cheaper to buy the turkey in America and ship it here. A bit of an exaggeration, to be sure; but hey, it will be so worth it! I can't imagine not having Thanksgiving - more to the point, can't imagine having Thanksgiving without a turkey. Hey, if you can't go all out for the holidays, when can you?!
