Christmas time! YAY! I can't believe it's actually been Christmas time for a while now...seems so weird when you live in a place that doesn't celebrate the holidays. It doesn't end up feeling any different than the rest of the year. We don't get vacation time except a few days after the new year..but that's cool since we end up getting sooo much freakin' vacation time here. Anyway...our little 3 foot Christmas tree is holding up nicely. Cheddar likes to attack it and knock it over but he's not playing with ornaments like he was last year. A slight improvement. haha.

I'm soo excited right now. Today, Dave and I booked a 15 day bike trip in Southern China for next spring! I can't hardly wait. We'll bike for 9 of the days and see what is known to be the most beautiful parts of rural China. We were going to do a habitat for humanity trip in Thailand but they are already full so we decided this would be a fun alternative. The company looks cool..check it out..www.bikeasia.com.

Dave's recital was last Tuesday. He had a great crowd and an awesome concert. His student also just won a big jazz competition here so he's excited about that. Another week has flown by. We have an empty weekend ahead of us and I can't wait. We went back to the Vietnamese place tonight. This dessert we had was killer. It's a deep fried breaded banana, cut up into coins and then each coin has a cashew and honey on top. It's amazing. We're going to try and get a cooking class there. The food is so veggie-oriented and soo fresh. Love it!

Hope everyone has safe travels this season! Have a great weekend.
