Christmas Recap...
So the weekend was good. As usual it was very busy driving from one house to another and eating a huge meal immediately upon arrival, but at least we're not going hungry. Saturday morning Jen and I went up to Nashville to pick up her brother at the airport. We were short on time, so we didn't get to make a Hooter visit. I actually drove well over the speed limit both too and from so as far as Nashville is concerned I doubt it ever knew we were there. I had to slow down on the drive back because at around 110 my wifes car threw a wheel weight and we picked up a vibration. It's a small one at 60, but from 90-120 it's more than noticeable. From Chatty to Nashville we made it in just a little less than an hour and a half. The best part is that my wifes car was still getting about 26mpg's at that speed. Nice. Her brother flew in as a suprise to her parents and since they don't believe in exchanging gifts, that was our gift to them. They were shocked and her mom cried. We made the trip back in about an hour and 45 minutes and the family visitations began. Her aunt and uncle were in town, but her aunt is insanely annoying so I didn't spend much quality time with her. Her uncle is pretty cool and he likes movies so we got along just fine. After a few hours of visitation with the in-laws we headed over to my parents house for dinner and then headed to a church service at my sisters church. If you've ever watched the Andy Griffith show, that's pretty much what my sisters church service was like. Sunday morning was a repeat. Back to my parents house for presents and breakfast, then back over to the inlaws for presents and dinner. As far as presents go we both got some pretty useful gifts. I got a set of impact tools with a compressor, and my hot wife and her parents got me a workbench with a powered backwall. Both of our grandparents gave money, so we spent it on this. When we moved in, the gas logs weren't working so we got a propane tank and propane with our Christmas money. It really does help heat the house, but it stinks of propane if they run too long. Outside of that, I got a few good movies like the Matrix Collectors edition, and the Fantastic Four. Her brother arrived safely back in Texas last night and her aunt and uncle are back home as well. Today it's back to work for a few hours then back home. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas!

Oh yeah...we got our DVD Recorder finally. :)
That's great that Jason flew home, and I wish MY family didn't do presents. It's basically a money exchange.
This holiday would work so much better if we all just spent money on ourselves. Then we'd get what we wanted, and no one would feel obligated to do anything nice for us. That would be lovely.
So Mr Propane logs, how are you going to top that for Jen's b-day? I reccommend gemstones, particularily ones that sparkle and are clear.
But kudos to you on the jewelry. I wish Greg would randomly buy me some. But alas. He has an aversion to anything sparkly!`
Nasty Word:wwvlijfu That BETTER be right...
It wasn't.
Hooters, you can't keep a secret. However, if you're in town around a holiday I might borrow you to do some Jen shopping one afternoon.
We've hit the 9 month mark, which means NO MORE NAPS!
