Ehhhh, just because.

I just really like these pictures of friends, and my name. It's been such a good year thus far for me here in Maui...seeing as I'm on my 2nd year of being here. Wow. It totally amazes me to see that when I thought I'd be here for a year, has turned into a second year. I'm always telling God that if I forget how blessed I am at any moment, he has my permission to slap me in the face.

I'm getting pretty dang excited about the holiday season, and here is why: When I was fifteen, and just discovered the goodness that is Starbucks, I bought a Charlie Brown Christmas CD. I love this CD. Seriously. It is the most played on my iTunes. I play it year round---it is just my happy place.

With the holiday seasons around, i feel less of a loser for listening to it. I really like the little boy voices of the choir, as well as the instrumental rendition of that crazy cartoon boy we call Charlie Brown and his rag-tag gang.

I also really like the ready availability of candy corn.

My goal for this holiday season is to see someone famous, too. Perhaps me and that famous person will sit down at the shops of Wailea, listen to my Charlie Brown Christmas music, and eat some candy corn.

Now THAT would be a Holiday dream come true.
