Reason for the Season
Although we did not get to spend Christmas with our family in other countries, we’re glad to have dear friends to share their holidays with us. From Missouri they flew to Arizona to spend this special occasion. We watched an off broad way show of “A Christmas Carol” the day before Christmas and then shared a simple dinner at home. Christmas morning we opened amazing gifts and then prepared for a long drive to San Diego for a nice off at the Pacific beach.

We then visited Sea World. That day was full packed but we got lucky our friends work at AB which owns Sea World and got us ticket passes easy as a breeze. Truly, fun is five times fun when shared with friends!

Next morning, the guys visited the old town while us girls explore the beach, wet our feet, relax as the beach sung its lullaby, took pictures, picked shells(I found my first sand dollar!) and went for shopping where we bought shirts and other interesting souvenirs.

A nice day for surfers.
Last day at San Diego – we packed our stuffs and had a final look at the beach before we head home. In our hearts we thank the blessings of family, good health, friends, work and God given strength and prayed for continued courage to get through the trials ahead. Most especially, I thank Jesus as HE is the reason for the season.
