Last night I cooked my first turkey and it was amazing. I filled it with apples, oranges and onions and also placed them in the roasting pan so that the gravy tasted amazing. I rubbed it with sage butter under the skin (unbelievably disgusting to perform but delicious in the end), and the top with olive oil, salt and pepper. I also made roasted asparagus and butternut squash risotto. I cooked for my parent's friends and their family so it was a big deal and I was quite nervous... but it was amaaaazing and I was so proud of myself (and my sisters for being my sous chefs).
Christmas was so perfect this year. I was really missing home so it made the holiday even more amazing. I am missing my close friends... but I got a plane ticket to SEATTLE!!!! I am going in April and I am soooo excited. I miss Hannah's presence in my day-to-day life... I truly miss all of my friends who are absent from daily life.
I need to get another job and I feel kind of annoyed about that. I am learning this year so much to rely on God and trust His providence. I am such a punk when it comes to God, I always assume I would know better and if He would just do what I say it would be fine... and then I consistently come to the realization that He knew/knows best. Aaaamen.

so now i'm drooling... all over the keyboard. well, not yet, but close.
it's hard to trust God, especially when we think we know what we want (which i guess is a lot of the time). ah, faith is a funny thing. hang in there -_^
Ok, so I´m officially a little peeved, that truely does sound amazing. Last night I tried to cook a rice dish the chinese way in a wok for some people that were coming over, and I ended up screwing up. Basically the rice was dripping oil, so it was good, but as unhealthy as sin. I still have a long way to go to learn good chinese dishes :)
I totally hear you on the whole trusting God thing. Its just hitting me now that I have no plans for when I get back; I don´t even have a direction to start looking in. The next few months are going to be a crazy experience for me, learning to trust that God has some ultimate plan for my life, and learning to follow in that.
