Everytime I come back home, I realize how much I missed it and how incredibly blessed I am to live in one of the most gorgeous places in the world. Plus, most of my favorite people live here, so that's always a plus. :)
Sunday night was a Christmas party at the Greig's house, which was so much fun! Getting to hear about people's lives, seeing old friends, wearing tacky sweaters...it doesn't get much better. Then on Monday night, Katie Hahn had her annual Christmas party which was a blast! I'm already looking forward to the next one :) But it was really good to have {almost} all of my favorite friends in one place, just hanging out. I hope she still has her Christmas party when we're all 90 and can't even hear each other anymore.
Also, I had a friend from APU come down to visit (shout out Lauren! haha) and it was just great. She's also going to South Africa with me, so we went and saw Invictus. Let me just say, if you haven't seen it, go see it! We both walked out of the theater and said "We just want to go now!" Half the movie, I had chills. It was such an incredible depiction of that county and the apartheid. Man, it's amazing how much God can put a place on you heart that you've never even been to. I am DYING to get over there. I would go right now, taking only the clothes I'm wearing. I just want to be there.
In other news, it's Christmas Eve tomorrow. What!?!? I'm pretty sure that yesterday was August and I was moving into my apartment in Azusa. (PS, does anyone else feel really old when they say things like that? "It was only yesterday...." Maybe that's just me). I'm excited for 2010 though. It holds some incredible opportunities for me. South Africa, a 5-month summer, moving to Seattle...yup, sounds like a good year!
