hopefully everyone had a great christmas hehe. mine was pretty good. grandma makes awesome food. going back to christmas eve tho.... well all i can really say is that i sure do have an interesting family. we talk about the weirdest things! but no matter how psycho we get, we sure do have a good time. it was nice seeing my cousin dara again. she just graduated from the university of iowa. shes gonna be an elementary school music teacher. but before then, she gets to go to new york to be in an off broadway musical. im so excited for her! we all are. its always great to hear new stories... and dara had a bunch of them from college. i dont get to see my cousins as often as i like to any more, so when we get together its always a blast. i always find it amusing that we have the jewish side of the family over on christmas eve

i got a digital camera for christmas, which means that im gonna be able to start posting more and more pictures. yay! im looking forward to that. i think i need to find a better program tho. we'll see what happens

things have been good lately. a bit hectic and confusing at times, but good none the less. its so nice to take a break from all of the pressures of school. it feels great. i cant wait to see what the rest of this vacation has in store for me :o)
