The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

This is the best time of the year, and this year I am spending it in New Jersey. The first day I got here, it was just cold, but I sure did enjoy the bitterness of New Jersey :) Within the next few days, there was 8+ inches of snow all around. Being with snow and friends, really makes it feel like a special winter and Christmas. I am super excited to be here and enjoying my break from school in the best way possible! I miss my family and know that they would like to spend the holidays with all of us, but I know that they are keeping us all in thought.


I have been busy doing nothing but enjoying my friend's company, staying cozy, eating a ton of food, and being very thankful for the people in my life, all around the country. My sister, in Georgia has to work today on Christmas. My other sister, in Arizona at the moment, with husband and son who get to celebrate his first Christmas which is very eventful and exciting. In fact, there are many new additions celebrating their first Christmases, and i wish them all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! My brother, who is in Brooklyn, is staying busy with work as well. So looks like I am the only one not working very hard...it feels good.

Here is one profile picture of the hair growth. I have been told it's getting longer? Only some more time will tell if it is significant over my vacation.


Here is another up-do I had to make-do with because it was greasy and nasty (to be quite frank). It gets it out of my face but is not always cute. Then again, when has cuteness been a factor with my hair? yeah...

(p.s. please note my mouth, it is wide opened. I called it out so that nobody else would tell me to close my mouth. ha)

Well, that is all for now. I wish y'all a very happy holiday season and will post again toward the new year. Miss everyone, but send my love from the New Jersey!

Also, Congrats Brandan on your engagement to Jeff on Christmas Eve. You two are going to have a wonderful Christmas together, with many more to come. Yay!
