Christmas Gift Exchange

Ok, it is already late and I have to get up early for work, but wanted to quick fill you in on the day.

Worked til 4:30.
Shopped for an album for....well, I can't tell you just yet.
Met Marie at Olive Garden for our Christmas and Christmas gift exchange.
It was awesome!
Remember I told you we took Jesus' name and used it as an acronym.
She gave me:
J - jewelry
The coolest necklace and earrings to match.
E - useful things for entertaining
A silver tray, butter knives with beautiful handles.
S - On the card for this gift were the words, "To strenghthen and encourage"
It was a chronological Bible (She has the same one, we are going to read it through the year and keep each other on track.) And a wall hanging with Joshua ???
It says, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
U - on this gift card were the words, "a few of my favorite things"
In it were utensils. One was a bamboo tong and the other was a Pampered Chef spatula.
S- on this gift card it said, "Warm and Toasty"
In it was a pair of the softest slippers you'll ever slip your feet into. I'm wearing them as we speak. Ok, we aren't speaking, but I AM!


Here we are. We made our waiter take our picture. He kept asking if there was anything he could do for us....I think he wanted a present too!

It was a great evening!

When I got home, the most amazing sight met my eyes.
My stairway was completely painted.
Can I just say, I'm married to the most amazing man that exists, or has possibly ever existed.
Here is the stairway done...










You have to see it to fully appreciate it.
It is lovely.
I will have decorations on that banister tomorrow!

Gotta run.
Several things to do before turning in.
