Halo

Hmm, I have a blog. I forgot. So whats new with me?

I have one more day of work for this year: Dec 31. Yay for vacations and holidays.

Today was my department Christmas party. We rent out the Outback for lunch. It was fun. Afterwards Cyndi and I went to see I am Legend. Intense. Not a happy movie. Its a disaster flick. Will Smith was amazing. Award worthy even.

Last weekend was we had 3 partys. Friday night was the church praise team. That was cool. More like Cyndi's crowd than mine. But I'm starting to get to know folks so I don't end up on the outside looking in. The kids were good, so I didn't have to be babysitter all night.
Saturday morning we had to drive to Lemore for Cyndi's grandma's b'day. Most of her family we haven't seen in years. One cousin she hadn't seen in 25 years. It was great for her to reconnect with her family.
Saturday night we had to rush back into town to take pictures for my mom's Chirstmas cards and get ready for the Aera Christmas party. Aera had it's 10th anniversary this year and our CEO is retireing at the end of the year. The Christmas party is normally where the company splurges a bit. So this year was awesome. The company hired Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to play. There was no where in town that would work for the party so we had it at our main office. They tented in the entry to the lobby and breezeways outside. There were heaters to keep out the cold. There was food everywhere. Coffee bar. It was great. The company gave swing danceing lessons all year. There were plenty of people dancing. It was a blast.
Cyndi had been stressing all the party's and dreaded haveing to find clothes and make arrangements. By the time Friday rolled around she was done. She didn't want to do anything. But she had so much fun. She was glad I pushed her not to ditch out on anything. She even wants to do swing dance lessons.

We might even do it.
