Happy Turkey Day!

When I was an au pair, I had to spend Thanksgiving away from my family. Although it was unfortunate, I was glad to have shared the holiday with my other family, my Roman family. My gal pal, Jena, made dinner for us all. Kudos to her for cooking because there was no way I would have been able to pull it off! She did an amazing job!

Jena’s host family was my first family when I lived in Rome for the first three months. My second host family are close friends with my first. I managed to get a lifelong friend out of this as well, Jena. We had a great time together, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the holiday abroad. I am eternally thankful for Emanuela, Andrea, Paolo, Laura, the kids and Jena.

Rest in peace, Paolo❤️
