Christmas Wishes and the New Year coming!

Well, I hope everyone had a good Christmas this year. Mine as usual was nothing exciting. For Christmas Eve, I went down to Newport News to my grandmother's place to have dinner with my dad's family. Then for Christmas, we had dinner with my mom's family. For Christmas, I received some clothes, a vacuum cleaner (for my house), a couple of DVD's, gift cards, and towels. However, for my birthday, I did not get my wish, as the previous entry stated. Oh well, maybe next year.

On that Friday after Christmas, I came to work but only 5 other people on my floor came to work. I had to come since my co-worker, Dana, was off and we are the only two people who fax orders for the vendors. It was a good thing though because my parents went up to my house and worked on it. Speaking of which, by the end of Saturday, we finished putting all the plywood on the roof, the skylights in, putting tar sheets on the roof, and some of the brick around the house finished. By today, the bricklayers finished the whole thing of putting all the bricks in.

On Sunday, after church, I went to see The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Ring. It was incredible! The battle scenes are amazing and epic. I want to see it again. I actually went to see it alone, because my girlfriend had to work on Sunday. Funny story is that I didn't know that she had to work until the morning service was over with and I asked her what she wanted to do. When she told me she had to work, I got the idea of racing to see the 11:45 showing of it and leaving to get tickets a few minutes of that. I just raced into the fellowship hall, while she was eating brunch, told her I'm going to see the movie, and raced out while just hugging her and kissing her on the head. Nice of me, right?

I found out a friend of mine just got engaged on Friday. I'm so happy for her. Another friend of mine is thinking about building a house with her boyfriend and is thinking about getting married too. Everybody I know is getting engaged or married now! I feel so left behind! Someday......maybe!

I just like to say that I want to welcome my "complex yet intriguing" friend, if she is reading this. ;)
