could I BE more thankful?

This will be a short post (well short compared to my other posts) and when I have more time I'll write an update and what I've been up to but just for now I wanted to give a virtual shout out to everyone and everything I'm thankful for.

-I'm thankful I haven't pooped my pants yet
-I'm thankful that I haven't been robbed
-I'm thankful I haven't been in a horrible transportation accident (I'm pretty terrified I am risking my life every time I get on public transportation here)
-I'm thankful that I'm going to see Lady Gaga in concert tomorrow woot woot!

Ok on a sappier note:
 In case it isn't obvious I am very thankful for being here in Peru as a Peace Corps volunteer, I can't believe I've made this far I am so proud of myself and so thankful for all things,good and bad, that have happened in my life to bring me to this place that I now think of as my home. I am so thankful for my all my families: in Pimentel, my Lima family during training, and my states family. Without their openness, love, and caring  this wouldn't feel like home; and of course thankful for my states family especially my mother she is an amazing woman and I feel so lucky to have been raised by her and for raising my brother Bryan who is a great father and so glad I get to skype with my nieces and nephew every once in a while. I am thankful for my friends back home who are continuing to keep in touch and am even thankful for the ones who I don't stay in touch with as often because life is a crazy long rollercoaster ride and at some point we were on it side by side enjoying the hell out of it and hopefully now they are side by side enjoying it with others. I am thankful for my Lambayeque volunteer family, I can't imagine living in any other department you are all awesome and we are probably the best department just saying but I'm jealous of other departments who have my best girls Brittany and Morgan who should probably just move to Lambayeque ;P just kitten
 I am thankful for everyone in my life who got me to this point, I am even thankful for the people who didn't think I could do it because I am a stronger person now and can recognize that I don't need people like that in my life.
I'm a lucky gal, I hope you guys all have a wonderful thanksgivng love you mucho!!!!!
