I actually got to go back to the "east coast" to Pennsylvania to see my family for Christmas this year. I took Laurie with me and introduced her to the family. She seemed to enjoy meeting everyone and didn't think anyone was crazy, so that's a good thing. ha.

We were lucky enough to be able to spend half of the time up at my parent's place in Liverpool, PA, and the rest of the time in 'E-town' with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I was really happy to see everyone... it's kind of hard being so far away from family, so these trips are important.

I hope everyone had a safe and fun Christmas and New Years. It's back to work for me.... and to a job which I actually look forward to going back to after a vacation. Imagine that!

Until later, be good.
