Christmas in New York City

First of all I would like to wish the world Merry Christmas... Since that's practically impossible I'll simply start with you : )  Anyway, life is great!  Although I miss my friends and mother in good ole Idaho, I'm having a blast traveling and visiting with my various family members.  I spent about a week in Louisiana and actually went down to a beach where Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita visited 14 months prior.  It was amazing to me to see the level of destruction that was still there over a year later.  I found the experience to be quite humbling...
I also spent some time with both sets of my grandparents which was very welcoming.  I learned a lot about my family history that I was completely oblivious to...  It's been quite the learning experience.
Currently I'm in New York City with my sister.  It's the first time we've seen each other in six years.  She's an amazing soul and I'm extremely grateful that we have laid the building blocks towards a better relationship...  I'm sure she will never realize how proud I am of her...
My next trip is sort of a secret at the moment so to the few that know you should feel real special haha and to those who don't know... sorry! 
Sooo that's where I'm at right now and I'm really happy.  God it feels great to say that.  "What the soul hears it believes"  Ya know, it really is true...  Well, here I end for now... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
