We are currently in Orange, California visiting my family. My sister Melissa is also in town for the week or so we're here which is great since we haven't seen her much for a while. It's been a very nice visit so far, but a very interesting one. My parents have been doing major down-to-the-studs renovation over the past ten months of the house I grew up in, and it's still not finished but we're all staying here anyway. We've had to go rummaging through boxes in the garage anytime we've needed things like cooking utensils, but we've made do and had a very nice time at that. Just goes to show it's the family that makes a home.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
