Lisa and Lam

I have accepted the fact that I will not be going home for Christmas this year, or even Thanksgiving. I mean, I am thankful I got to see my family twice this year, but one or two times is never enough. I don't care how old I get - I will always need my family in my life.

There are so many things running through my mind right now, a part of my brain is recapping the wedding weekend and the other part is contemplating where my life is taking me.

One thing I do know is that my family is incredibly special to me. They are so welcoming of everyone good that comes into my life. I can only hope that I pass this trait on to my children some day. It makes me feel warm inside to know that I am a part of and around "good" people. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it.

This part of our lives is going to go by so quickly - we really need to savor every moment.

A wedding present from Lam's brother and his wife Lisa (yes, he married a Lisa too!). When we opened it I was laughing so hard I was crying.
