Even though I still had a concluding paragraph to write for my final paper of the semester, I boarded the plane--departing to Denver--with a warm smile not only on my face but also in my heart. To say this semester ki
cked my butt would be a gross understatement. Readjusting to life in the U.S., in no other place than the conservative South, was a challenge. Not to mention that I was thrown into the rigorous life as a PhD student, where reading 500 pages of literature and writing 20 pages in one week is completely normal. Despite the competition, bastion of male dominance, and intense soc
ialization; I am alive and kicking! You know...challenges in life make you cherish the things you love the most: skiing, family, friends, laughing, yoga, wine, and
an international perspective. And, the next three weeks will be all about those things I adore the most.
Here are a few things I love about Christmas at my parents house...Raven (the queen kitty), Christmas cookies (frosting them with dad & eating them with the family (my brother is the cookie monster on the left!)

Tradition-Christmas cookies to be cut and frosted. I try to get all involved as it is time consuming, but rewards in the end. By the way here January 12th, I still have some left. I freeze them to keep them fresh.
OMG...Mama Weimer bakes the BEST sugar cookies in the world. I'm not joking! And, they are best frozen!!!
