Belated Merry Christmas!!

[misora]

Had a wonderful holiday! Mom & stepdad just left after 3 days, and now our house feels a little empty.

Our haul this year was amazing:

- baby clothes and blankets from Dad
- cash (an absurd amount; I think we netted close to $1K this time...sadly, 80% will go into savings for baby!)
- crockpot from bro (I can't wait to cook with it)
- Xbox Kinect system + Dance Central from John's sisters (demo'd it on Christmas day - ohmygod so fun)
- lotions and knicknacks, including some wonderful soaps and belly butter..yummm
- food & drink, of course
- Samsung HD handheld camcorder for John (from me)
- alarm clock & sound therapy system
- rocking chair for the baby's room (from Mom & stepdad)

and this:





1.68 ct. sapphire and diamonds on platinum. He finally made an honest woman out of me. ;)

We decided we'd put off the wedding celebration until after the baby's birth. But for now we'll get the paperwork done, and make it official. (I guess this means I need to change my name. Eeek!)

Thanks!! Yeah, it is very similar. I was pretty happy with the outcome! ;)

I hope you can someday, too - you're still pretty young though (I personally think everyone should wait at least until late 20s- early 30s), so I wouldn't worry too much about it just yet. I went through meeting a lot of men - and then still not knowing for 100% certainty - before picking John. It was something I definitely didn't want to rush into too quickly. It's not that easy, but you just have to start putting yourself in situations where you can meet men as friends/coworkers first, and then get to know them more from there. I have faith you can do it!!

I'm glad you got a nice haul, too! :D
