CHRISTMAS!... and cleaning.

I would like to wish all who read the blog a merry christmas! I would also like to thank those of you who took your time to write a card to Kimberly and I... Its difficult to deal with being away from family during a time like christmas, and many people had our backs by sending a small piece of home to us.

Christmas for us was fairly non eventful, EVERYTHING except like 2 gas stations and the only movie theater were closed on christmas... leaving us with little to do. BUT we did prepair for a feast the day before... we had a precooked spiral cut ham, rolls, home made mashed potatos, and green bean cassarol. It was nice because there was NOTHING to do so it gave us something to keep us busy.

Since then we have been REALLY busy, I have been spending nearly every waking moment taking kimberly shopping or cleaning up after her (Jon i have told you before and ill tell you again... you were right). This moring i rolled out of bed at 7:45 allowing kimberly to sleep another 45 minutes. I came out to the living area (i say that because the computer room, living room, dining room, and kitchen are all one big room) SUPER excited to grab a bowl of cereal and a cup of orange juice and kick back and watch my favorite channel... SPEED... but no, i come out only to realize every last bowl was somewhere in the large mountian of dishes spewing out of the sink... so i spent the next hour before kimberly came out cleaning up the kitchen and doing dishes.

As much as I may seem serious about this frusteration, I am only joking (kinda, haha). I love kimberly with all my heart and if i have to buy a street sweeper to clean up after her, if that is what i have to do to keep her ill do it in a heart beat. She is the one that made this christmas alone so special and fun. I truely got lucky with this one! to put this in fishing terms god equiped me with 20lb line and somehow i hooked my 165... er 123lb fish ;). I could not be more excited to spend the rest of my life with my beautiful bride Kimberly.

As for our plans for the rest of the trip... we are not sure where it will take us. We will probably be going to chena hot springs for a night, but beyond that i dont know. Today (actually in 1 hr exactly) i need to be at fred meyer for an eye exam so i can get some contacts.... it will be nice because in the cold glasses are so frusterating... you get them really cold being outside the the second you open a door to a warmer area the fog up like crazy... im excited to be able to see and not have to deal with the frusteration of glasses fogging and being dirty.

We love you all it was great... wait... AMAZING to hear from those that we did from the phone call from kentucky, to the family down in portland... we love you ALL and miss you so much. Have a happy new years!

Dude, the bride gets a foot massage too! One of the joys I get out of getting up early is that I get to look over at my bride and say "that's MY wooooooman!" YEAH!
I hope you were thinkin' that thought as you shuffled through the pile of dishes. Don't even tell me that you haven't seen a spewing sink before. I think I will go take a picture right now.
