nov 7 - dec 19



Wow, it's been a while since I posted anything. It's the holiday season and a lot has happened!

Jordan and I took our first trip to the Big Apple! It was truly amazing! We went right before Thanksgiving. So a lot of the Christmas decorations were up. Which is the main reason we wanted to go.  :)   We were only there for three days and there was so much we wanted to do! In reality, it takes about three days just to realize that you're actually in NYC. So needless to say, we didn't get to do most of want we wanted...  but then there's always next time!!!   We really enjoyed being there, but I think the best part was getting away from everything and just hanging out with Jordan. We had lots of fun getting lost and lots of laughs. She's awesome!  We didn't stay for the parade because we figured it would have been too crazy. But when we got back, we regretted it a little. It was also good seeing my cousin Tim and our friend Nancy, both who live there.
Then there was Thanksgiving! I had to work all of 
Thanksgiving and the following weekend. But like I always say...  if you got to work on a holiday...  you better make it fun!   Hence my turkey hat that I
 asked Jordan to make me. It turn out perfect and I made a lot of costumers laugh....  which was my goal.
My partner (starbucks co-worker) Amy invited Jordan and I over for Thanksgiving with her cousins. Jordan and I were really glad because this was our first Tgiving away from family. We wanted to try and invite a bunch of people over, but with the NYC trip we just never got around to planning it.
We decorated the place for Christmas! Actually...  we decorated back on Nov 10th! :)  What can I say...   we love Christmas!!!
We're also doing live Christmas music at Starbucks this Saturday and raising money for H.E.L.P. (the organization that I went to Nigeria with). Hopefully it will go well!

We'll that's a quick update. I'll try and be better about the frequentness of my post.   :)     -grace and peace everyone!!!
