So... today is my first day back at work since the 20th of December. I was sitting at home quite a bit the past couple of weeks, and yet still did not find time to update my blog. However, once I get to work it's the first thing I think of. Oh well. Lots to catch up on...
Christmas was wonderful as always. Houston was great... the weather was perfect. It was so nice to just chill out at Brian's house with the family. What did we get for Christmas you ask? Well... I got Brian a Wii. Trust me, not an easy task as I'm sure you all know. But... it was worth it. He loves it and I love it too...so much fun. I actually broke a sweat playing it the other day... and that's never a bad thing. haha. Brian got me and iHome for my iPod (radio, alarm, charger, etc). So nice... I've always used my phone as my alarm. So much better to wake up to music. It was very clever of him. My parents bought Brian a new driver... I swear they spoil the crap out of him now. I got the usual Clinique make up from my mom and they also gave us money to go towards a new couch... we need one bad. Brian's parents gave us the option of a ski trip or a trip to London whenever they go ( most likely this summer ). Needless to say I was all for the London trip. Brian of course had to think about it, but then decided on London.
Being inspired by Meredith's Blog I decided to go ahead and make a list for 2007; I'll try and hit 100 but no promises:
