I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know I did. My parents, my sister and I always spend Christmas together at home. It makes for a nice relaxing day without the normal family stress that can happen around the holidays. This year was also the first year I made our Christmas dinner entirely by myself. It probably wasn't the absolute best dinner in the world, but it was pretty good if I may say so.
And now it's time to start a new year. It's crazy that 2013 should be here already. The years seem to go by so much faster now that I'm older. It's so strange the way time works. Some things that happened five years ago feel like they happened yesterday, but some of the things that happened a week ago feel like years. And a lot has happened this year. I guess a lot happens every year; there are 52 weeks, after all. I made a big move and left my job because of some personal reasons. I moved back in with my parents, and I've applied to graduate school (still waiting to hear back from them. The waiting is killing me!). My little sister has had a big year, too. She's been accepted into college, and she met an amazing guy who really seems to love her.
All of the big changes in our lives this year have set in motion even more changes that we'll get to experience next year. I'm excited about the future, but I'm also a little bit worried. I know; That's just life, right? Change can be scary, but it can also be beautiful. Next year I might go to graduate school. My sister will graduate and move five hours away to go to college. We'll all grow a year older. There will be deaths and tragedies. There will be births and celebrations. Time will forge ahead.
“And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.”

P.S. I'm pretty sure I promised that I would put pictures of the cookies I made before Christmas on here. They turned out tasting pretty awesome. I made them from Alton Brown's recipe on Food Network.
