Happy holidays, everyone! I hope everyone was surrounded by love, joy, and happiness. I spent my Christmas with Erik and his wonderful family down in Northern Virginia. It's so interesting being in an interracial relationship; our families are so very different. His is a big, bustling clan (four sisters and three nephews!) with blended families spanning Cuba, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador; mine is quiet, nuclear (divorce is still a bit taboo), and super Chinese. Even so, there are so many similarities that unify every family—the worry about aging parents, the inside jokes, the adorable and embarrassing photos. Hoping to get the greenlight so I can post some of ridiculously cute baby Erik. :)
