Starting to adjust to being back home. Well, actually I'm not back home so it's a little strange. I stayed at my sister's apartment for three nights and I had never even seen it before, so it wasn't home. Now I'm at my dad and stepmom's house, which is nice, but it doesn't really feel like home either. I will admit that the weather is more like I'm used to!

Today should be great. My mom, sister, and I are going downtown to "shop." I never really buy much, I just like walking around and drinking large quantities of coffee. Later this evening a bunch of us Mt. Hood people are getting together. Susie and I have been planning it for a while and I really can't wait to see everyone.

Christmas was nice. We went over to my dad's parents like always and it was great. There's a two-year-old little girl in the family and she is adorable. I'm not a huge kids person, but she got me. We also got my grandma a "special" present that will be used for medicinal purposes. It got a big laugh. Everyone loved our Christmas Cards too. Who can resist a bunch of smiling faces in Christmas sweaters? I can't!

I miss everyone already. My life feels like it is still in Eau Claire. I guess I'll have to get used to being away, especially since I'm taking time off.

Enough blabbing for now; I have to go dry my hair.

I hope everyone is well. I miss you!
