Home for the Holidays


I didn’t think 3 Weeks could go so fast…but here are some highlights from my trip home! Definitely worth the 20 hour flight… to say the least!
  • ·         SNOW! – walking around in it, having a white Christmas, playing with my dog in it, then after the initial excitement wore off… looking at it from inside a heated house and car.
  • ·         FOOD! – food tour of the US was a success: Sansu, Altus, Charlie Kangs, Panera, Red Haven Grill, Pearls, Café Sante, Shorts, Wendys, Chipotle, Taco Bell, Breuggers, Noodles & Co. , plus Trader Joes!, and so many bagels.
  • ·         Torch Lake – laying by the fire bundled under blankets, with family all around, making gourmet food (Kraft mac & cheese) and reminiscing about all the good times we’ve had up there!
  • ·         All the siblings together again-I think the last time we were all together was 2 years ago at Brad and Jennie’s wedding, so this reunion was long overdue
  • ·         Holiday party-delicious food, friends and family, big xmas tree, lights, Christmas carols!
  • ·         Xmas eve party at Sara’s-a tradition with amazing food, although still feeling the effects of jet lag, I fell asleep in a chair…
  • ·         Movie on Christmas-the HOBBIT 3D IMAX…sensory overload. I’m used to watching movies on the tiny screen of my netbook.
  • ·         Birthday festivities-amazing sushi dinner at Sansu, Harpers with lots of highschool pals and a late night Taco Bell trip, what could be better?
  • ·         Columbus-DU reunion with all my favorite people, live music, good food and conversations about food (Noodles & Co. anyone?), cuddling, visiting campus (Aww P1) and Brews for old times sake.
  • ·         Boston-so many good restaurants/bars, meeting all of Alyssa’s friends which includes pretty much the entire city of Boston, hanging out in her loft and walking the entire city in a weekend!
  • ·         ….and everything was so clean. Even the gas station bathrooms....AMAZING!

It was such a great trip home, and thanks to everyone who made it possible! And now that its 2013 I can say….See you later this year!
