During the time we lived in Hungary, Thanksgiving didn't have quite as much pomp as it does here in the US. We usually gathered with a handful of American friends. There was certainly no Black Friday over there.
This Thanksgiving we got together with family and some friends from church, but this Thanksgiving marks an interesting anniversary. 5 years ago, we celebrated Thanksgiving with our friends Ryan and Anita and Shane and Marianna - but there one was extra person there that Thanksgiving who has been with us ever since.
This Thanksgiving marked 5 years of Balázs coming to live with us.
It was in December of 2008 that we were given guardianship, and in December of 2011 that our adoption was finalized in Hungary.
Yesterday, to celebrate 5 years of Balázs in our family, we went up to Estes Park - saw some deer and elk and ate some ice cream.
We're glad you're with us, Balázs!

Trabant in Longmont
I saw this Trabant driving down Hover street in Longmont the other day.
Never expected to see one of these on the road all the way over here!

Thanksgiving Video Update
This is a video we made for our friends and supporters over at Calvary Vista. They showed it as part of their Thanksgiving Eve service.
It was pretty cold outside when we made it - I thought I wouldn't need a jacket. I was shivering!
Calvary Vista supported us while we were in Hungary and they have continued to love us and support us since we've come to Colorado. We are thankful for them!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! What are you thankful for this year? How have you experienced God's grace and provision?

The Longmont Pastor
I recently started another blog, which is titled: The Longmont Pastor and can be found here: http://longmontpastor.wordpress.com/
I will continue to update this blog, so please do keep checking in. This has always been more of a personal blog, detailing the lives of our family and ministry for those who know us personally and want to keep up on our lives. The Longmont Pastor is going to be very focused on issues relating directly to the Longmont from a pastor's perspective. I have written articles on there about marijuana legalization and other local issues.
