Hey guys! Geez its been a while. I apologize for my broken promises of new blogs. The truth is I might not be able to do in-depth blogs as frequently before. Take heart though my beloved reader(s)! I still have the blogging bug and will try to update the blog in any way I can manage. If you guys can have grace for me and I put some effort in, we can make this an awesome bloggin' time for the ages. So today I will just being doing *gasp* an actual update on my life. No witty remarks about silly vampire movies or pop songs gone wrong this time around. I won't fault you for clicking away at this moment (although I might weep a bit).
So I just finished up the holidays! This Christmas I was in Ohio with my mother's extended family. It was great although it feels a bit different as my cousins and I grow up. Now I can actually carry on intelligent conversations with my aunts and uncles as well as articulate my political and religious opinions with a fair amount of success. We celebrated both Jesus' birthday and my cousin Margie's birthday and got to spend some good time together as a family.
After that I headed to PA with my dear friend, Kortney Blythe and her husband-to-be, Ben Gordon (who also happens to be a friend). We stayed at Mr. Gordon's parent's house and with the aid of Ben's brother, Nate Gordon, were able to tour a whole crapload of AWESOME stuff. We went to Philly (I finally tried this cheesysteak thing), saw some cool Christmas stuff at a Macy's, went to the Reading Terminal (which is a beast market) where I got some cappucino peanut butter (WOOT) from a nice Amish man. Next we checked out Lititz! Litiz being Nate's new home, he led the tour and we went to Julius Sturgeis' pretzel bakery, went to Wilbur's chocolate company (YUM totally kicks Hershey in its chocolate bars), and finally found a neat Moravian church and college. They are the oldest protestant denomination (allegedly. They seem trustworthy but you never know). Following that we tore up a Gabriel Brother's store and had a delicious dinner at Red Robin. Finally, we checked out the church the Gordon family attends and it was home again, home again.
Now I am enjoying my last stretch of classless days until the spring semester commences. Everyone keeps saying it will be nice to get back into the swing of things but I think they are crazy. I could use another month.So keep reading! I hope to update more and more (its actually a new years resolution so yeah...I'm serious about this). Your continued readership makes me feel blessed and like I'm surrounded by dozens of down comforters so...thanks. Happy New Year!
