Holidays

Well, back to work for me after a nice, long, relaxing week off. It was nice to get up and not have to go anywhere, to sleep without worrying about waking up on time and to take a leisurely pace about our mornings. Bryan really needed the time off, especially as he moves into his new position at work. His boss requested that he take time while he had it. He had some pool problems during his time off but that's pretty normal and they were fixed quickly and easily so that's always good!

The Williford clan came in for Christmas. Alyssa and her boyfriend Jamie came with Andrew. They were here for a few days before Christmas and Andrew got some hours in working for Bryan which he was really thankful for. My dad and Kim came through on Christmas afternoon to pick Andrew up on their way to the deer lease so we got to see everybody but Aaron and his new girlfriend Lauren (I hope that's her name, wow, I'll feel bad if it isn't). We went to the movies on Christmas to watch "Marley and Me". It was SUCH a good movie. If you are sentimental and cry easily, I'd bring some tissues, my sweatshirt took a beating!! Bryan's pool had a few issues on Christmas so I went home to watch the Spurs play Phoenix with Andrew. Wow that was an intense game. I'm a sports lover, I have to be, grew up in a house full of boys so I learned to love it early! My knee will remember the game for a few days to come for sure! Phoenix was up in the last seconds and the Spurs had possession and Roger Mason drained a three to win the game and I jumped up and went crazy and had an altercation w/ the coffee table on the way off the floor...it won. :)

December 29 was Bryan's birthday. The day was pretty relaxing. I had a haircut that morning so we had lunch together and then we took our dogs for a walk/jog at Williamson County Park for a few hours then we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. I had been planning and scheming for a month for a surprise party for Bryan. He's not really big on being the center of attention and tends to drag stuff out of me so I've been a basketcase for a week thinking he was going to find out but he was totally surprised and thankful. He did however say he was going to pay me back, haha. We had a lot of fun! I posted pictures to our shutterfly account. The address is: www.abreno.shutterfly.com if you want to see them. I got him a cake shaped like a basketball for his birthday, he loved it. I had to make a decoy cake and everything at home though so everything seemed normal and he didn't catch on to the party. :) It was really fun!

I hope everybody had an awesome holiday season, a merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
