They say love never takes a holiday, but the holiday season does aid in reminding all of us the importance of love, family and friendship. Eva is far from home this Christmas, spending it in the Newport Beach with her friends. Her work schedule is keeping her this year, but her adoration and appreciation for the family she has back home is strong. She appreciated her parents for their everlasting support in her career but wished she could be there to shower them with hugs and bake her famous chocolate oatmeal cookies. 

Her baby sister, Yvonne, is greatly missed. She is one of her best friends and she hated being miles and miles away from her. Luckily, they texted every day and of course, they had social media. However, Eva missed snuggling with her and chatting anything and everything while watching movies. Sisters were forever, but she did feel fortunate to have found a sisterhood here in the states. Liv was not only her roomate but closest friend and confidente. She has been there for her every single time she felt like giving up and running back home. On homesick days, Liv managed to brighten her day with her great humor and company. Her co-workers and friends she has managed to connect with also make this holiday season away from home bearable.
