Anyway, I had intended to write a blog about my first Christmas away from home, but that just hasn't happened.  Cherise wrote a very good blog about it (very descriptive and I agree with the sentiments she shares).  If you would like to know what we did over Christmas, you can find it here. It was very hard to be away from family and friends, but I will appreciate next Christmas all the more (and shockingly, yes, I did miss most of being in America for Christmas minus, perhaps, the commercialism).

New Years was interesting for me.  Most everyone went to an all-night prayer service. I was at the house sick.  I went to sleep around 9:30 and wasn't awake for midnight or anything.  Not exactly my first choice of New Year's parties, but it was OK.  I wish i had much more to say, but that was it for New Years for me.  2010 didn't start with much of a bang.

I hope you are all doing well at home.  Hopefully I will be able to write and post a blog about being sick and what I learned soon, so be looking!
