Home in Jersey

It has been absolutely wonderful to be home with my family and Tobi in New Jersey. Even though there was not any snow this year, it was such a perfect Christmas. We had the chance to visit a lot of the family and many friends. On the 23rd, Tobi and I took my Dad and brother up to New York for the day. We went to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree and also ice skate in front of the tree. The wait was about an hour and a half to get on the rink, but it was worth it! Afterwards, we stopped in the St. Patrick's Cathedral before heading home. There is no other place like Christmas in New York and being there really gets you in the holiday spirit. The past two weeks have gone so fast. Before I know it, it will be New Year's Eve and we will be back on a plane heading to Germany. This long awaited break has gone too fast! However, I am excited for the second half of the season and the chance to make a run for the championship!
