merry christmas! left utah on wednesday with amanda in my trusty honda to spend time with the fam in california. it was 70 degrees at grannie rosie's house which was a pleasant change from the wintery weather in provo. being with my siblings and spending time with the fam is nice. there are some nostolgic feelings that come with the season and being back in California. i find myself thinking more about my childhood and random memories of growing up, and of experiences Ive had since leaving the place i call home. i was remembering a time in 6th grade at the Academy, walking down the sloppy sidewalk under the overhang covering to the open grass playground and thinking that one day I would be in college. thinking about future hopes and possibilities brought an excitement. as if somehow i could predict the future and anticipate it. now life has moved. college did come and go, somewhat in a blur. now ive been teaching four and a half years...also a blur. i wonder what that little girl would have thought about the person i have become. i still feel like that little girl in someways. the same little girl trying to anticipate the future and hold on to something concrete and certain.
thankfully some things dont change, as least as long as I can remember. i think that is why I have always loved traditions. like matching christmas pjs, the picture on the stairs before opening presents, acting out the nativity scene at grannies, sharing our "talents." Christmas is a good time.
wishing you all a wonderful christmas day!
