Well, here we go again.
The Holiday season is upon us once more. I don't know what it is about Thanksgiving and Christmas that always conjures up visions of pies, but I'm not complaining. Here's a 'taste' of some Thanksgiving goodness:


Yes, I am thankful for great food, as well as loving family to share it with. That is really what the holidays are all about, spending time with family. Sure the time off is great for resting and relaxing and catching up on leisure reading and all those movies that I just haven't had a chance to see, but in reality none of that really matters. I get to go home to Mexico, most likely spend a day or two painting some room of the house, possibly dig trenches for a sprinkler system, and unpack and repack boxes of my belongings from my early years. But I get to do it with family. I can't really think of a better way to spend the Christmas break.

There is the minor detail of finishing up a semester of school, papers to write, projects to finish, unit tests and ultimately finals to take, but that only lasts a week and a half more so I may as well enjoy it (it is my penultimate semester of undergraduate work, after all). The semester has been great. Now that I think of it, a lot has happened since I last blogged. An entire summer of adventures, a wedding in the family, trips to foreign countries, car troubles, and moving. Not to mention nearly an entire fall semester with it's accompanying football season, early snowstorms (that really didn't amount to much), Halloween parties, blind dates, nice weather through November and into December, and synchronized swimming routines in the ward talent show.
Indeed I may say, "it's been a busy and very exciting and very fulfilling few months", and I will leave it at that.
