3 weeks gone already?!

It is hard to believe that my three weeks of vacation are done. Some of my friends wondered what in the world I was going to do with myself with three weeks off from work. Let me tell you, I did not struggle at all to find things to do! The time off was wonderful! I made a scrapebook for a woman I work with and started another for a friend of the family. I read two books, the newspaper cover to cover everyday, did daily SuDoKu puzzels, watched movies, stayed up late, slept in, took naps, did Christmas shopping, and spent lots of time with Seth, friends, and family.

Both Rebekah and Colin were home for Christmas and it was so great to have the whole family together. We had our usual sibling game of Scattergories, with an unusual outcome this year. Growing up Rebekah always won, I would come in a close second, and Colin was off somewhere in the distance. This year Colin put both Rebekah and me to shame, and not just once, but twice! So it wasn't a fluke! Our younger brother has intellectually surpassed us!

Seth and I made a trip to Pennsylvania soon after Christmas to celebrate with his Yoder family, not to be mistaken with my Yoder family. We drove to PA on the 27th, our 2 year anniversery, wow how time flies!, and spent a couple days in New Holland visiting with his aunts, uncles, grandma, and cousins. We then spent an evening with my family in Lemoyne on the way home. Aunt Marg was thrilled to have family come visit her for a change. This trip was wonderfully reminiscent of our freshman year spring break trip to PA, which was one highlight of college for us!

So now it is back to the real world. I am sure it will take me a little while to get back into my school routine again, but the fabulous memories from Christmas will carry me through. Happy January!
