Merry Christmas (mele kaliki maka)

"Let it snow! Let is snow! Let it snow!" That is my favorite Christmas song. As most of you know, it is constantly stuck in my head, year-round! It was such a blessing to come back home and get so many snow blizzards! Christmas in Hawaii was just not the same without snow, I must say! I had a lot of fun getting to stay with Gia in L.A. for a few days. It was so lovely to see my growing nephews, and hear Jonathan say Ree-wee! I missed my family SO much. My friends in HI and I counted down the days until we got to come home, we were so excited! (if you don't count today and you don't count Christmas...only () days until Christmas!) LOL! And it was exciting to see my family, my friends and my puppy! I enjoyed my Christmas, and I am so thankful for the time I spent with everybody. I do look forward to my Spring semester, and will keep you all updated in my adventures!
