There hasn't been much to talk about in the last couple of weeks. Thanksgiving came and went, but otherwise, it's been quiet around here. Yesterday we had a Christmas party at the ANCA office and the snow storm sent the timid home, but we still had a good group of people there. But the big thing for me right now is that I am visiting Armenia next week. I leave on Wednesday and arrive Friday morning. It's now been one and a half years since I was last there and it feels like a century. Although I'm only going for 10 days, I feel like I need it to get a jumpstart. I remember the thing I struggled with the most when I returned is how you feel less here, while in Armenia, emotions are magnified. I would just like to remember how that feels again. I haven't felt myself in a while. Hopefully this will refresh my memory.

I was suppose to be in New York this weekend, but the snow got in my way. I actually was looking forward to seeing my sister and her husband in New Jersey, but I'll just have to wait until Christmas.

The snow here is beautiful. My drive into the city is a scenic drive through a hilly wooded area alongside the river. The trees were covered in snow and it was stunning. Too bad I didn't have a camera.
