A Christmas miracle happened Friday night, December 18 at JFK airport. We booked the 7 pm flight, so had to leave work a little early (always a bonus), and despite a ridiculously long security line, we were able to cut to the front and made it 5 min before the flight left (last people on the plane). But that was not the miracle - it was the fact that a blizzard hit NYC that night, and all the flights were canceled the next day. We felt blessed, like a little Christmas miracle!
San Francisco during Christmas is fun. Sure, the ultra-liberals have banished anything that remotely resembles Santa Clause - but we can overlook that minor detail. It was fun going around the city - Pier 39, the wharf, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, Union Sq and driving down Lombard st.
It was absolutely wonderful being with Em's parents and fam. We had a total party while there. Some of the Christmas highlights from Cali
1) Sharks game
2) The amazing weather
3) Avatar - in 3D
4) P.F. Changs
5) High Priest party
6) Carol's amazing Apple skills creating a Italy remembrance GFTH book
7) University of Pennsylvania - Wharton sweatshirts
8) Emily's kindle
9) Carol's Jerusalem book????
Life is good. But, as fun/good as all the gifts/food are - the real reason for the season is Christ. It was great to take some time away from the hectic schedule of NYC, and to think about the Savior and what truly matters.
