On the 23rd, I headed home to celebrate Christmas with my mom’s side of the. As usual, my mom cooked enough to feed a small army.

Early Saturday morning, I headed to Waco to watch my nephew “show” his calf at the Heart of Texas Fair and Rodeo. Glenn accompanied me on this trip while Ruben stayed home to study.
