This month has been quite busy and tiring! I am officially on Christmas Break, and could not be more happy. The last day of school before break might have been the most stressful day of teaching of my career so far. Now I can recover for the next two weeks...which is a reminder of why I love my job. Speaking of work, Matt and I went to my first work, Christmas party. Can you say "awkward"? Considering the fact that I really do get along well with my co-workers, it was quite surprising how awkward the party still was! I think what made the event so awkward for me was that you are supposed to be relaxed and socialize while remaining professional...since socializing in big groups does not come naturally to me in the first place (which I am desperately trying to work on), you can imagine how difficult this situation was for me. Anyhow, after talking to my sister, apparently this is quite normal...phew!!
In other news, the other weekend our friends Brendan and Ellen were in town (who recently moved to Iowa) and we celebrated our friend, Strider's birthday. It was really fun reuniting with our friends. I forgot how good it feels to laugh with good friends! Still praying for some more that live close by :) Here is a re-cap from the night:
an intense game of celebrity...we really enjoyed impersonating Kim Kardashian
Brendan & Ellen

This is from our school field trip to "Feed My Starving Children". We packaged food for starving kids around the world. Like my hair net?
like father like son....Matt's Dad was in town the other weekend. We enjoyed our Sunday drinking Starbucks, eating Christmas cookies, watching football, and surfing the web (as you can see in the picture haha)
