Happy Black History Month
Celebrating Friendship and the amazing people in my life.
It is the last day of Black History Month- February 28 and we are getting ready to start the third month of 2021. 2020 was one wild year and 2021 has had its moments already. I am ending this months post on a thankful note.
Denise! I am so thankful for our friendship I am also thankful for this new season and chapter in your life. I will miss having you here with me in Shanghai, but so much greatness is waiting for you. Thank you for being an incredible friend. I met you through my sister, but living abroad together we were able to form our own friendship and sisterhood.


We have been through good and bad together, happy and sad, but we have had a lot of amazing moments together. I will never forget doing SPARTAN race together and I totatlly felt like this is #ONEANDDONE but we did it and then we ate all the yummy room service we could call for!

From museums, to new restaurants, to Tacolicious, Suzhou, eating weird fake fruit that your husband told us not to eat, Xiamen, me never making it to Kunshan, holidays abroad, bookstores, hotel stays, NYE, birthdays, staring out of hotel windows and ordering room service because we don’t want to walk downstairs, and so much more – I am grataeful for our friendship.

I am reminded often of how temporary and transient the expat life is. It is always changing. I don’t let that keep me from making strong and meaningful friendships with the people that I meet here. Video chats and fun online experiences will keep us connected until traveling is normal is safe again!
Thank You Denise for being wonderful. I look forward to all that you will do and accomplish in your life.
