Merry Christmas/Life update

December 24, 2016December 24, 2016Leave a comment

Work and life has had me super busy lately, but I want to share a bit of what I have been up to.

My new job at the Recorder is going well. I feel like I am learning more about Indy including its history an d I am being pushed out of my writing comfort zone. For example, writing about Hudnut’s death was the first time I really covered politics or wrote about a deceased person. I have done some interesting restaurant spotlights and interviewed some cool musicians.

Christmas has blessed me with a 3 day weekend and Justin and I were able to go out and do a holiday photoshoot which was a lot of fun.

He brought some pictures and he is going to use them for an engraved ornament:

Later we are going to his parents church and then out to eat to celebrate Christmas with his family. Then tomorrow we will celebrate with mine.

I will share more later. Merry Christmas to all!

I have gotten the opportunity to try all types of interesting food while writing Restaurant Spotlights for work. I try to find unique places to share, so i decided to visit an Ethiopian Restaurant.

I actually came to Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant with my friend who is from Ethiopia in the past, so that is how this place got on my radar. This time I tryed to be a bit more adventurous.

My full review will be in The Indianapolis Recorder next Friday, but I decided to share a bit of my visit here.
