Well, I leave on Saturday!

It has been 21 years since I have spent a Christmas with my family in Cali.
It has been 9 1/2 years since I have been there for a visit.

My Grandma is now 82, my favorite Uncle, who took the place of my dad after he died, has cancer and may not make it much past Christmas, and I am going to visit my dad's grave. It is going to be very emotional for me, but I know it will be a good kind of emotional (not like Lake Tahoe!)
Plus, seeing all of the family members I haven't seen in so long....it is almost surreal.
I am really looking forward to healing with my sister and niece/nephew after our visit to Lake Tahoe. I really look forward to that probably the most (other than seeing my Uncle)

I am just really looking forward to it!

However, I still haven't even started packing! haha!


Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement.
