Holidays are coming

Today is freezing cold. I'm so glad I'm going to Hawaii in a few days with my 6/8 family!! I love my family so much.

I was just thinking about being in China for Christmas two years ago. I went to a my friend's absolutely filthy rich friend's Xmas eve party in Hong Kong. It was on the roof of some gorgeous building and everyone did a countdown to Christmas at midnight just like it was New Year's Eve.

I feel really lucky to have so many friends from all over the world. I don't even know how I got this lucky. I have some moments when I think about my friends and I feel like I am the luckiest person I know. Atsushi sent me the longest letter from Brazil. He's doing well and he's headed to Switzerland next. Naben just sent me a baby picture of himself and it's so cute. Please don't be mad at me for posting this, Naben. It's SO CUTE and I think everyone deserves to see it because it will make everyone happy. Ahhhh so cute!! The baby in red is Naben's new nephew. The baby on the right is baby Naben. I like the younger father / older father / same pose part.

I'm wearing the necklace that Nancy made for me. I'm listening to a very old mixtape that Saelan mailed me when I lived in Geneva. I just got an email from Ross yesterday. I was looking at old pictures of Eve and I last week and getting excited for summer. My mother mailed me a 5 page letter full of great advice. I'm thinking about Asli and Thuy constantly. I'm feeling so full of love.
