Ending a Year & Starting a Year on A Happy Note

December ended on a great note and January started on a great note, so far my year has been good in short. There were 23 of us on Christmas day. It was an amazing time to catch up with family I have not seen in awhile, my cousin and his fiancee have been gone the longest, a looong seven years. It was so great to see them again. They have been in town but I was always busy with school or work and could not make it to San Diego to see him, sad as it was. This Christmas was a family reunion, not the whole family, but a good portion of us, because we all realized my grandparent's health is steadily declining and decided this Christmas needed to be spent with them. Their house is small and it was very noisy, but that just meant being forced to spend more time with each other. I would not have preferred Christmas any other way.

January started off to a great start as my best friend Bekah was back in town for the Christmas season to visit family. She is currently in Iowa at a Nursing school. I showed up to her house on Christmas Eve with a surprise visit just to chat for a few minutes before heading to see my family. Words cannot express the joy and happiness I felt at seeing her again, and it had only been barely five months, unless you count the couple skype dates then it was less, but those were not in person so it is technically different. Man how I love that girl! She knows every secret of my life and the fact that she has not judged me is proof enough to me that she is a friend that is hard to find and definitely one you do not want to lose. We then met for breakfast the Wednesday after Christmas and spent 3 long hours catching up on life. Then on January 10 she came up to LA and stayed the night. I loved seeing her one last time before she went back to Iowa. It was really awesome that she gave up one of her last nights visiting to hangout with me.

So besides my computer being a pain, wondering if I still am going to have a job at the end of January, and trying to figure out where the forest of money trees are, my life is going quite well here in Sunny California.
