We had a wonderful trip back to PA for Christmas with my family! Got to see a bunch of people and take care of some odds and ends before we leave for Japan. It was so nice getting to spend time with everyone, though it was a whirlwind trip. It was a bit odd saying goodbye to everyone and saying I'd see them next Christmas...
Continued with the whirlwind trend when we got back to Omaha. Had a wonderful Christmas celebration with some of Brandon's family. Everyone has been so nice and welcoming to me.
Overall, we had a very merry Christmas this year - our first Christmas together! Looking forward to many, many more to come!!!
