Bye Bye December 2008 and Welcome January 2009!! :)
Being so busy with school and work, I finally had some time to relax in the month of December after my finals which ended on Dec. 11th. First on the event list was a family friend's daughter's surprise birthday party in Boulder on Dec. 14th. Then the week after that we had our Jain group gathering on Dec. 21st. There was an open house on Dec. 24th at my work where employees bring their family members/kids to work and take pics with Santa, get balloons of different shapes made by the balloon master and there were all sorts of activities. Because of this there was hardly any work and honestly I was really bored since there was no work and everyone seemed to have left by noon. My Christmas holidays were going to start on Dec. 25th so I was happy about that. We had a Christmas Party at a family friend's house on Dec. 25th evening which was a lot of fun. On Dec. 26th I had planned a movie night with my friends to go watch "Ghajini". And I got to see one of my friends after 8 months :). On Dec. 28th, we went to a one year old's party so that was a nice hangout with some of the friends. The list is not over yet...I spent the New Year's Eve at home with family and on the 1st January, we went to a friend's surprise birthday party in Aurora, so that was fun :). That was the summary of my holidays and I had great time. It was nice to get some time off after a stressful school and work. From Monday, back to normal routine, back to work on Monday morning so not looking forward to that. But I'm thankful for whatever time I got to spend with my family and friends during these holidays.
I wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
