maligayang pasko!



my birthday and Christmas were incredible this year. something about it was different even though i did what i do every year. it was a quick trip down to virginia beach, but it was worth it. i was literally surprised by all my gifts. i even cried opening one of them. i don't do that often. thanks, mary.

the gifts i received this year were extra thoughtful and i amazed by my friends and family. it truly was the year of the Batman. yay, Batman pez dispensers! i received a really cool gift from the cafe staff as well (ask me & i will show you). sara gave me a gift card to the movies, so i could spend time with friends. (and for movies that she has no interest in seeing). and maribeth finished off the gift-giving this past saturday with a special edition pair of HULK HANDS!!!!

i am truly thankful for all the gifts i've received. however, i'm more grateful for the presence of the people i love in my life. i didn't have enough money to buy everything i wanted for people so i created an album of what i would give if money or reality was not an option...i didn't have time to finish it...but i did what i could.

merry christmas!!


it's the thought that counts...

wii weekend and more...





we hosted our friends, jen and danielle, for a night of wii games and pizza. this is the closest i came to taking real photos of the event. i try to be nice to people sometimes if they don't like photos taken. however, in the albums below, i was not that nice. we had a good time that evening and it ended shockingly with me asking questions. believe it or not, they didn't go running for the hills. i was very impressed. they may choose to never visit again, but i am glad they made the trip this time.

the links below are photos of events that have taken place recently...enjoy.
