Christmas in Cali

Well I know I have been slacking at doing the whole blog thing, but I will try to do better. Christmas in California was a lot of fun. It was really good to see Erin and was hard to leave her yet again. However, I will see her in February . . . so not to long of a wait. It was also good to see a lot of people I have not seen in a long time. I was so amazed at how fast my nieces, nephews, and cousins have grown.

One thing that I noticed that really bothered me about being back in the U.S. was how much stuff we just waste. I am not sure why, but it just seems like we waste a lot of things, particularly food. Now I am not saying I am perfect, but in Japan I guess I have just use to not throwing food away.

Also this was my first Christmas without my grandmother (Granny) so I found it really hard to be in here house without her there. It was much harder then I imagined, but I was able to get through it.

I was happy that I did get my fair share of Mexican food and was able to eat at In-N-Out.

I also went on a hot date with my father-in-law to see I am Legend. I enjoyed the movie.
