1 Year Since We Last Saw Washington
Well, it's been one year since we left WA. It's been a tough year to say the least, but we're both optimistic about next year. We close on our new house on January 14, so that'll be a good start. :P
And Christmas kicked ass, of course...since I FINALLY got to have Christmas the way I've wanted it for the last TWO YEARS...just the two of us on Christmas morning. Well, it was just the two of us the whole time, which was really nice, but I've really had my heart set on spending Christmas morning together, just us, since we got married in Dec 2002. 'Bout damn time! ;)
We both scored some badass presents, mostly from each other. Hehehehe I gave Eddie a set of Craftsmen screwdrivers, a plyers set, a Slinky, a S'mores maker, a bunch of firefighting stuff, and some things that are best opened without relatives in the room...hehehe. He got me a stained glass chess set that I've had my eye on for eons, as well as a fountain, a woodworking book, and a pull saw. Yay! :) My parents sent us some cash, T-shirts, and, because my parents are the coolest ever, LEGOS. Christmas isn't Christmas without Legos. Christmas without Legos is like Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie, and I already dealt with that trauma this year.
Oh yeah, and today, it snowed. A lot. In fact, now the tiny ding in my windshield has spidered about 6 inches in two different directions after a large drift of snow slid down off the roof of the car. Damnation.
