Chocolate Fish
Me at Chocolate Fish, Wellington
Hello all! Happy post Thanksgiving to everyone!! Well, I made it back to the States in one piece...YAY! I had a chance to see my grandparents in LA and hang out with Ian (my good friend from NieuCommunities in Glasgow) and spend some time in Santa Monica. It was so warm in LA!!! At Santa Monica I walked around without a jumper till 9pm. It was so good to be back there. I ate, took a walk on the beach at sunset, and bought dinner for a homeless guy called Michael and hung out with him until I had to go catch my red-eye back to Chicago. Man, let me tell you how blessed I feel after seeing so many homeless people. That made me so much more thankful for everything I went home to...and for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. My family and I went to my good friend Ali's parent's house in Rockford for dinner. It was a wonderful time to catch up with everyone about my time in NZ. Speaking of which, the picture is me in front of a fab cafe called Chocolate Fish. It's where all the cool movie stars hung out while filming LOTR, as Peter Jackson's house and actor's guest house is just down the road. If you come visit me in Wellington, I will so take you there...great food, and chocolate fish! :) Well, it's back to the daily grind for me. I started work on Friday (the day after I got home and T-Day!) and have been working until today...my first official day off!! It's been going great at the Cheesecake Factory...I love to serve people and meet new people every day. Well, that's all for now from bitter cold Chicago!
