So this was Christmas...

So it has been too long since I've posted on here. I guess I got caught up in the Holidays. Coming off a tough week at work, I was really looking forward to getting back to OKC to spend some quality time friends and family.

Christmas was different this year. It didn't really feel like Christmas to me. I'm not sure if it was the weather in LA or just the fact that the Holidays snuck up on me this year. Either way, it was still a great Christmas. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with my family in OKC. Unlike previous years, I really wanted to spend as much time with family as I could. I'm normally quick to get out and hang out with friends, but I made it a point to stick around the family a bit more this year.

As much as they drive me crazy, they really are so important to me. My family has such an interesting dynamic. We don't come from money and we were all raised a bit non traditionally, we argue a lot, BUT there is this closeness between everyone that is unlike anything I've seen in a lot of other families. Definitely a lot of love mixed into all the playful fighting. A closeness that I wouldn't trade for anything. It's hard to explain, but there is definitely a tremendous amount of communication and love which I don't see with many other families. For that... I am extremely blessed and thankful.

I just flew from OKC back to LA on Wednesday. I was suppose to go to work on Wednesday but my flight was delayed and caused me to get in too late. Luckily, there wasn't anything important happening at work. I'm actually flying back to OKC today. I know, I'm a bit crazy. But I want to spend New Years in Dallas with some close friends. So we will drive from OKC to Dallas tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting to spend time with my friends in Dallas. One of my best friends and his wife live in Orlando and they will be in town tomorrow. Plus I will get to see the Frys, the Nguyens, the almost Grinnells, the almost Tates... yes all my friends are pretty much married. My day will come one day... God willing...

So I'm still waiting to hear from Gonzaga. I think I should hear something this week or next week. My sister was trying to get me to move back to Oklahoma while I was in town. It's tempting... but I'm not sure that is something I want to do. I'm praying that God will direct my future steps and lead me in the right direction.

God is really amazing and I'm so thankful for the family and friends that he has blessed me with. I do feel extremely fortunate to have such amazing people in my life.

So this was Christmas... and it was wonderful.
