Winter Break in the Big Apple

January 2nd, 2010 nlekpe13

It feels amazing to be back home with family and friends. I never realized how much I missed seeing such familiar faces. As soon as I entered my room, I saw a couple of baby pictures on my desk. My mom had purposely put them there to show how much she had been thinking about me.
“Nwachalu, I was looking through old photo albums and thought you might enjoy looking at some funny baby pictures,” she said with a smile. I gave her the biggest hug of 2009! That was so sweet and cute of her! Although I was a bit embarrassed, I quickly got over it.
My taste buds are back on track as I am enjoying home cooked food every day. Everything is delicious! I can’t imagine how I have been able to go 3 months without my mother’s cooking. I’m glad that I was able to though. I have gone back to work at Trader Joe’s – the best job on earth! It’s a lot of fun, and it keeps me busy. Besides work, I’ve been spending lots of time with family and friends, and going to the “City” as much as possible. I missed the big lights and billboards!
Oh boy, does it feel great to be back in the Big Apple!! =]
