Two Slices of Home

I've told many of you over the last week how homesick I've been. So to remedy this I have two exciting things to report.

First, I'm coming home sooner than I had originally anticipated. I was trying to hold out until March but I was kidding myself. So, I've booked a ticket home for January 19th-27th. Mark your calendars people! Turns out January is the perfect time to go home since the weather here is awful and its pretty much dark for most of the day. It also falls in between two sets of visits from my friend's Robyn and Arisara. I can't wait to see everyone then!

Secondly, starting next Tuesday I will have a temporary roommate. A really good friend of mine from college is coming to stay with me for awhile. Some of you have meet her or may have heard me talk about her. Her name is Tenielle. We were best friends in college (Tri-Delts for life) and she actually lived with my mom for a short awhile while attending Pepperdine Law School. After graduating law school she practiced law back home in Bakersfield at a cut throat law firm. After two years of working her ass off she decided to quit. Over the last year she has been living the dream. Traveling the world, hanging out on the beach, just enjoying life. While she tries to find her way and figures out what her future holds she will be living with me in London. She arrives next Sunday. I'm so excited to see her and to have a friend to explore Europe with. We have a ton of exciting things planned, starting with moving into my new place. It will be like Sex in the City minus two girls and in London. The last time I saw Tenielle was at my 25th birthday- five years ago! Here's a picture of us from that party. Soon I'll have pictures to post of our times in London.
