Christmas

For the first time it was just the two of us for Christmas this year. Tyson didn’t have much time off so we decided to stay home. On Christmas Eve we did some Bulgarian traditions like having an odd number of meatless dishes. One of them was bread with a coin in it, and whoever gets the part with the coin will be really fortunate in the upcoming year (I was the lucky one). We went to Leavenworth on Christmas day just for a little bit we took a walk in the snow, visited some of the shops, and took some pictures. We had really good Christmas this year but we did miss our families a lot, but we were thinking of you and hope you had a great holiday and hopefully we will be together next year.

My sister’s wedding

My sister got married on Saturday the 22nd in California. I was there for the wedding and had really good time. I got there on Friday and we were able to talk a lot and see each other. They got married at San Diego Temple it was beautiful and she looked gorgeous. I was so proud of her and was so happy to be there on this special occasion. There are a cute couple and I wish them all the happiness in the world.

Holiday Season

Today Tyson and I decorated our Christmas tree for the fourth time together. I always love decorating the tree because it brings back so many wonderful memories of home. I also love this time of year because of the lights, the snow, the Christmas songs, and the presents. I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

My First Talk

Today I had my first talk in church in America. I know for all of you it is not a big deal, but for me it was; it is surprising that after 4 years in the country there are still things like this that I do for the first time. My talk was titled “Live by faith and not by fear,” it was nerve-racking and I shared the story about my conversion and started crying, which was the last thing I was planning to do, but it was all well and everybody said they liked my talk so, it turn out great.

My sister is here

My sister arrived in L.A. Tuesday night; I am so excited that she is here, even though she is not close to us. I have talked with her a few times and she is doing really good she is getting used to everything and getting to know Eric’s (her fiancé) family. Its lots of fun talking to her and asking her what she thinks of everything, I do know it is overwhelming. I can’t wait to see her at her wedding and to spend this special time with her.

Finally, I Have a Job!

I started working at Applebee’s last week as a hostess. It is easy and fun and I really like the people I work with; it is good to finally have something to do.
