a michigan christmas

once my position transitionted from CASAS director to assisting the seminary rector and board on a variety of projects, i had a more manageable workload and was able to finally take a vacation.

so, i opted to head north in dec for a blustery michigan christmas, and to catch up with friends and family...

1) to friend rachel zystra's cd release gig in chicago and wyce performance in grand rapids:

2) to see brett and sara pre and post baby ezra:

3) to hang with nuclear and extended fam:

4) reconnect with old friends carrie and crystal back in ludington:

5) and to play in the ice and snow (found out brother matt is pretty much a professional iceskater now!):

being home was a great time to spend doing normal family things and just enjoying being a sister, daughter and friend.

after christmas, headed back to guatemala...stay tuned for next post on Jan-Feb 2009 back in Central America...
