So there were some things that I had to edit from my previous long journal post because of the surpise. In a nutshell, they were that the week before I left I exchanged Christmas presents with all of Victor's family. They all loved the pictures of their kids in frames I made for them and I gave Emilio Season 1 of Camera Cafe, which came with a matching cup which he also loved. I also got some really nice gifts from them.
Then after Victor's lunch with his work friends in Malaga, I spent 25 hours traveling to San Francisco where my sister picked me up on her way home from Long Beach. We then drove to my Grandma's house where Christmas Eve tamales making was underway ans suprised everyone. They all started screaming and crying and it was perfect. So we finished up the tamales and then I finally got to go home, take a shower and go to bed after who knows how long!
Sunday I went to chruch and suprised some more people, Monday was Christmas Eve at my Grandma's and I got to share a lot of the treats I brought home, Tuesday Christmas Day at our house, Wednesday I had breakfast with Katie, Chemo with my mom and church in the evening, Thursday was a Spanish lunch with Kahryn and Dave, and Friday I had coffee and an amazing visit with Tessa and Alicia and we left for Taft, where my other Grandma lives and had dinner with the fam and watched some Twilight Zones. The gaps have been spent reading, watching some much-missed American TV, talking on the phone with people I'm not going to be able to visit in person and otherwise relaxing and enjoying Christmas Vacation. I'm also always tired. I guess that has something to do with the time change. I got a lot of wonderful presents but the best part has just been being home.
Now I'm going to try and upload a lot of pictures!
