I love California

Hello from sunny beautiful California!

We flew to LA to spend Christmas with my parents and we have been having a great time!! Yesterday we did our Christmas shopping. Then last night we went to this cajun restaurant in Downtown Disney. The food was okay and the service was horrible, but it was great to spend time with my parents. This morning we went to my old ward. It's been a long time since I've been there so it was really nice to see everyone that I grew up with. It was kind of weird seeing some of the kids that I grew up with married with kids! It just seems like yesterday that we were teenagers. But it was good to see everyone. Then Kevin and I had lunch with one of my good friends from high school and her husband, also a friend from high school. It was really nice to see them. Then we went over to see the couple that Kevin lived with while he was going to chiropractic school. It was great seeing them and spending time with their family. So so far it has been a great vacation. Tomorrow we are celebrating Christmas (Tuesday it going to be a busy day with us flying back to AZ, so we thought it would just make things easier if we celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve, instead of on Christmas). It's been the first Christmas being home since 2000, so it's been long overdue.

Hope you all are having a great holiday season and that we always remember the true meaning of Christmas...the birth of Christ.

Quote of the Week

"We are often left to work out problems, without the dictation or specific direction of the Spirit. That is part of the experience we must have in mortality. Fortunately, we are never out of the Savior's sight, and if our judgement leads us to actions beyond the limits of what is permissible and if we are listening to the still small voice, the Lord will restrain us by the promptings of His Spirit." - Elder Dallin H. Oaks

"We don't have to be perfect today. We don't have to be better than someone else. All we have to do is to be the very best we can." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
