Love this time of year. So excited to be in the city to enjoy it!
The past month has been great. I've enjoyed time with family and friends, decorated the apartment for Christmas, and have done most of my Christmas shopping.
Jordan continues to work on school, karate, and guitar lessons. I'm so excited that he's more involved now. He's less homesick. We will work on whether he will attend a charter school next year, or do homeschool coop. I took him to see a new Pokemon movie, some of us watched The Muppet Movie, which was really funny. We also went hiking at Wissahickon Park, which is such a great park for hiking. We went to a Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa concert too! It was a last minute thing. While Jordan took guitar lessons a big crowd was forming down the street at the Electric Factory. Of course I had to find out who was in concert. I was able to get tickets. It was so great!
I enjoyed Jazz after 5 at the Art Museum, and got to spend some time with my good friend Teri. We visited the Christmas Village at Love Park. some really cute shops and some good German grub..lol. I'm taking pics of some of the Christmas trees and decorations downtown. I still need to visit Macy's, the Comcast Center, and Dicken's Village. Looking forward to it!
This year has been one of adventure and growth. I have enjoyed the city immensely. I've gone to theater shows, festivals, live music events, comedy shows, lots of restaurants, lots of walks in the city. So much to do...I love it! My parents and friends have asked me a number of times if I'm happy in the city. I am!! I needed this at this time in my life. Who knows how long I will be here, but right now I am where I want to be. Thank you for sharing this experience with me.
I want to wish all my family and friends a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy and Prosperous New Year!
