My Holidays

THANKSGIVING
My holidays were good. I flew home to be with my family for Thanksgiving, as a surprise for most of the family. So that was fun. Everyone was happy to see me and me them. It was good being back in VA but weird at the same time. I had gotten so used to CA that things like the woods and traffic were so strange to me at first but I quickly readjusted to live there.

CHRISTMAS & MY NEW JOB
I was in need of a job badly. I went around and filled out a bunch of applications at restaurants, stores, and a movie theater. I was willing to do anything. Luckily, I got a call to come in and interview for a job at the movie theater. I was the first person interviewed and the guy said they were only hiring 3 people. I prayed really hard as I waited to hear if I got the job or not. And I did. So I started training and my first official day of work was Christmas Day, which was insanely busy by the way. But I didn't mind I am just thankful to have a job now! Currently I am working mostly concessions at the theater, however I am getting ready to be taught some of the other jobs too.

NEW YEARS
I was also blessed by some friends and was able to fly home again for New Years. This time it was a surprise for everyone - no one knew I was coming, so that was fun! It was nice being back and I enjoyed the time with my family and was able to see some friends that visit which was good. I spent the New Year with my family. Unfortunately, the TV at the house wasn't getting the channel with Dick Clark's Rocking New Year Shoe (which is the one we always watch). So we had to watch a different one but we did still get to see the ball drop. I had fun but by the end of my week though I was ready to leave the FREEZING cold and come back CA. Flying back to CA I had some flight delays and issues and almost got stuck in San Fransisco for the night but luckily was able to make it back to LA late that night instead. After a week away in the cold I was thankful to be back in warmer CA. Anyway, Happy 2010 everyone!! Here's to a big year for us all :)
