Late Oman Branch Relief Society NY/Christmas Party and Manoja and Prassaad's Baby Shower.

These sweet ladies got together to celebrate all the things. We're so excited about the new baby, about a new year to get to know each other. 

Getting to know new people brings me so much joy. Getting to know people with different cultures from mine gives me joy 4 fold. Getting to know people from different cultures who bring new light and babies into the gospel group. . .infinite joy!

I will forever be thankful for the women and men who made all this possible. You will each be missed and I can only anticipate when next our paths cross.

I'm still dreaming about it and even Matt loved it-he doesn't like opera. After getting a beautiful dress i was super nervous about how to get me up to par. The toll my hair loss had taken is really tragic for me. It was doing better until the most recent episode Elise shared with me after catching it in Egypt. While it wasn't perfect, It was better than I'd thought.  It didn't really turn out like I thought but it worked. While the dress is beautiful, it doesn't really flatter my figure. It's a LOT of dress. I was excited to show Matt around the opera house but he was maybe a little uncomfortable. I have no idea why. He ...
