We spent this Christmas in Garland, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Tx</span> at our little apartment we like to call the "roach motel". ( for the invasions of rather large visitors that would <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ocur</span> every once in a while ) We hated that place. There is nothing like being scared in your own living room, like you are always being watched and you don't know what is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">learking</span> in the next room for you to find. Oh, it might have not been that bad, but you get the drift. Anyway, what is this article about? Oh yeah, Christmas with the roaches....Rocks. Whatever! We had <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">alot</span> of fun starting in October and it pretty much doesn't stop this until the end of January ( its not even 1999 ) ending with the 5days in San Diego ( Blog to follow ). October 8 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Aniversary</span>, Jeff got married later that month so we went to Salt Lake, November 19 Amanda's Birthday, Thanksgiving went to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Johnstons</span> to have the bomb dinner ( Amanda's Sister whom we live by ), Christmas, moving our cans 20 min away from the roach motel = ], New Years, then January Reunion, ouch all that, then to come down with our old familiar <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Hawaian</span> disease "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">lakamula</span>" ( means no cash ) But Christmas is the most exciting of the months of parting. As you can tell from the pic we enjoy our sleep, but we enjoyed more the teasing of Amanda that is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Chrismas</span> morning and she should get out of bed and be happy. Maybe not the other days, but Christmas morning it happened. ("Don't awake the sleeping dragon" is this a quote by Joseph Smith or the rule around our house in the morning for Justin, you decide). Amanda got new PJ's, "good" lotions, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Kung</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Fu</span> Panda, I got Season 1&2 of Psych, some old <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">dirtbike</span> photos framed, and a new work mug to prevent dehydration.

With the awesome capabilities of Verizon Fios 7mbs downloads we take advantage of Yahoo Mesanger to talk live to each other with the headset, because EA servers "got skimped on dawg". The glasses are for long term eye loss prevention, something about 60mhz display being "strainful on the eyes dawg". Oh well, we have fun. Thats also the sweet desk I made in Colorado. To support the awesomeness of the Beast -Thor- ( my computer ) Well, it was a beast two years ago now it's obsolete but I guess thats the way it goes. I still think its cool.

I asked Justin to build me a little craft table for all my "junk" so he did...he built me an Oak table with Redwood trim and then stained it red mahogany...I love it. Justin has the ability to make the most unimportant piece of furniture a beautiful masterpiece. I thought the table looked great before it was stained and finished, now I'm <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">afraid</span> to cover it up with all my "junk". What a guy, I'm so glad I am married to a carpenter. Next project: build our dream house ( just as soon as we win the lottery)!<br /><div></div>MadDoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13443055992724418494noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296323740044808311.post-30518315525318156992008-11-16T17:43:00.000-08:002008-11-16T18:05:19.580-08:00We Love Texas Because...<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Qn4Of0VxOks/SSDMx2rtKMI/AAAAAAAAAKw/fef_hThlsCE/s1600-h/texas-14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269436720887965890" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Qn4Of0VxOks/SSDMx2rtKMI/AAAAAAAAAKw/fef_hThlsCE/s200/texas-14.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Qn4Of0VxOks/SSDMkdHQx3I/AAAAAAAAAKo/4r1w6UgZeAg/s1600-h/texas-09.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269436490685925234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Qn4Of0VxOks/SSDMkdHQx3I/AAAAAAAAAKo/4r1w6UgZeAg/s320/texas-09.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center">They have Giant Movie Theaters,</div><div align="center">We can eat ice cream in the middle of November and it melts before we can finish it, and last but not least they put a lot of thought into street names, like " Big A Road"!</div><br /><div> </div>MadDoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13443055992724418494noreply@blogger.com0
