A Few December Highlights

I was going through the pictures on my phone and came across a few pictures from this month that make me smile. I am so blessed. I have everything I need, I have a family, wonderful friends who inspire me, the opportunities to go on adventures, and more. Here are a few of my favorite moments in December. Most are very simple every day kind of moments.. but those are the best anyway right?

1. (I think this was technically like november...but who cares!) SUPA cool paper mache man me and Jess found in the mountains. That day was a super fun, peacful day of exploring. One of the best adventures i've been on in soo long. We explored the ojai mountains, santa paula mountains, meditation mountain, the hills off the ave, and then ended it with DANK mexican food (corrales) and then ate chips and salsa at her house. FUN!

2. Over all Korean culture indulgence. Steph (Greenslit... i have like a mill best friends named steph) and I ate TONS of korean food and watched endless hours of our fav Kdrama "Oh! My Lady". We actually are learning a lot of the language along with the culture. Its been really fun.. especially on account of the fact that we are both major language/culture nerds.

This top picture was a fun lazy Sunday after a sleepover and a great morning at church.
This was Christmas eve. We both did no shopping until then and so we got up early filo mom'd it up at the camarillo outlets! bahah. it ended up being really fun. we found a cool thrift store too in oxnard! we dressed korean that day (just to make it more fun) and got to try out our new korean language skills for real for the first time!
3. Seattle in general. Washington in general really.
4. This was my favorite Christmas cookie I made. His name is scary-beary. Floyd liked him.
5. This entire train ride. I was overwhelmed with soo much beauty in the span of 36 hours that I could hardly take anymore in or process it.

This first picture is in the mountains in Oregon.

This is somewhere along the coast between Santa Barbara and Lompoc.

Thank you Jesus for every small and huge gift this month. I couldn't ask for more.
