What a busy time of year!!! I just realized that I have only been home one day in the last 13 days!!! My goodness! I went home for Christmas and had some wonderful down time with my parents and grandfather (and the 5 dogs!) In fact, I had a great time having the dogs around, oddly enough, it is therapy to me. :)

After the visit home I was back in California and I headed down to Orange County to spend some good old fashion fun with my best friends! We had a blast, and it just made me realize how lucky I am to have such an amazing family and group of friends.

So, it is New Years Eve today, and we all know what that means, tomorrow is a start of new years resolutions....I don't want to make a resolution that will just set me up to fail, so I have to make sure it is a good one, and doable!!!

One of them will be to go back to Costa Rica to visit, and I will make sure that happens!!! I promise! :)

Yay! It is that time again, Merry Christmas Baby!!! I love this time of year, as it is the only time of year I get to see my parents. I couldn't ask for a better family and I love getting up to see them. They live up in Cottage Grove, OR nestled in the lower part of the mountains. From what I have heard it has been snowing a lot for where they are, and the other day my mom said it was 6-7 degrees. BRRRRR!!!! I will be able to lounge in my jammies all day, hang out with my parents and grandpa, and 5 dogs! And these dogs have some serious character, so I might as well just consider them brothers and sisters. :) After that I get to go to work for a day, and then spend an entire weekend with my bestest friends (both live in CO). I have been missing them a lot lately, and I am SUPER excited to spend some quality time with them. Yay for the HOlidays!

Merry Christmas! I will keep you posted on my chilly trip, thanks to my co-worker that brought me some yummy, warm, snuggly scarfs! love you ames!
