The Holiday Outlook


This holiday season is looking to be a good one. Starting off with Thanksgiving, I will be in New York City! It will be nice to see the holiday sights and sounds like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, as well as to catch up with some old friends and do some touristy things.

Then, moving into the heavy duty holidays: I will get to spend about 2.5 weeks at home with the family, which I have not been able to do since I left for college. During that time at home I have at least one or two excursions to Indianapolis to visit friends, which should be fun as well.

Then for the grand finale I will be heading back to New York (by car this time!) with two friends from college to meet up with our long time friend that now resides just outside the big apple. We all will spend a few days together and then watch the ball drop on 2009!

Since I have been to college I have forged many strong friendships with really great people. And likewise I have built stronger relationships with family that, in years past, havn't been as strong as it should.

It is going to be great to see and spend time with all of these wonderful people and celebrate a years worth of pain, suffering, economic failure, hard work, perseverance, academia, healing, joy, fun times, ridiculous times, hard times, and most of all: our love for each other.

Darn...New York was a destination that I wanted to go to this holiday! Oh Well! Maybe you can help your Aunt plan a trip while I'm home.

Miss you!
