many celebrations


*written 12/15 - published 12/ 25
so we've been in virginia visiting family now since the beginning of november.  it's been so nice.  we've seen all of lena's grandparents, spent a lot of time playing with her cousins (& my sis), celebrated caleb (my nephew), jeff, lena & this week my sister's birthdays, my mom got married & we found out she is now cancer free!!  it's been an amazing visit!!!!
it still feels exactly like that... a visit.  like soon we'll be on a plane back to guam.  i know that plane is actually stopping in england, but it doesn't feel real.  i guess because we don't know that place yet.  i miss guam.  i mostly miss our best friends from there.  i think it will really sink in once we get to england & realize this is our new life.  it'll be cool, but i'm sure really different & there will be some major adjustments i'm sure.  but it is what it is.....
lena just turned 2, which blows my mind!  time is too fast!  she is amazing, talking a lot, curious, funny, loving, energetic, inquisitive, friendly (she waves at EVERYONE)  we're having a lot of fun!
it's nutcracker season & of course my facebook is all a buzz with nutcracker pics & videos.  i miss it.  i wish i was still dancing.  i think i miss it most around this time of year.  i do look forward to taking lena to see nutcracker one year!  & then maybe she'll be a little mouse & then one day sugar plum herself....  we'll see.  i promise not to be a crazy stage mom.  i hope!  ;)
