Christmas

As of today we are all (somewhat) in our "homes" as in, with our families for the holidays. Finals ended quite well, although there was definitely some delirium in the wee hours of the night due to the insanity of studying for cumulative world religion finals (sorry Cailee and Katie). On Friday night after all finals were over, we had some of our friends over to just hang out, so we made AMAZING grilled pizzas—thanks to Justine's awesome cooking skillzzz. It was so. good. soooo. good.

So now we are scattered over the West Coast as Caitlin and I are here in dreary, overcast Washington (but I do appreciate the cold weather for the Christmas season); Justine and Jenna holding the fort down in SB; Katie is soaking in the sun in Arizona, while Izzi and Cailee head home to Valencia and Thousand Oaks, respectively.

It's a little weird knowing we just finished half of our senior year already. Wow. That went by way too fast. But as I sit here thinking about the first semester and all its challenges and joys it brought us, I am truly overwhelmed by the faithfulness of Jesus. He knew all along that we were meant to be living together in this culminating year of our Westmont careers and knew how we were going to learn to love one another amidst living in the same home. It's been a

joy.

Merry Christmas from our home to your's, in all the saying's cheesiness and sincerity.

Truly.
