Let's Play Catch-Up!

January 07 2006
I have been in Tennesse since just before Christmas and have not really
had much time to blog lately. In addition, I was trying to get this new
server thing solved so PhuseBox could get back online. All that to say,
here is the "Catch-Up" blog, where I will take you through the
entertaining events of the past 2 weeks:


First, there was Christmas. I had a pretty good Christmas... visited
family, gave gifts, that sort of thing... When Rachael and I exchanged
gifts, I was very surprised. After opening about five different boxes
that contained an even smaller box inside, I finally got to the wrapped
gift. Having no idea what I was about to receive, I ripped the paper
and, there in my hands, sat a video iPod... and not just the 30 GB,
no... the 60 GB. Wow. I did not see that one coming. It was the best
gift I got this year and the most surprising. My fiance must love me
very much... hmmmm...





So then, because of my new gadget, Rachael and I got sucked into the
world of LOST. I download a few of the first episodes on iTunes and on
Christmas night, we got bored and decided to watch one... thus, it
began. Yesterday, we finally caught up to where the television show is
right now... that's right... we watched all of season 1 and half of
season 2.


Then, came New Year's. Rachael and I decided last month that we were
going to through a New Year's party. And so we did. And it was good. It
was a cocktail-less cocktail party... everyone dressed up and
everything. It took us all day to decorate... and even then, the light
strands that we hung from the ceiling kept falling down, but all in
all, it was a great party... And we even rung in the New Year with
sparkling grape juice... mmmm.

Next, PASSION. Passion is a worship event/conference that was held in
Nashville, TN this year. Awesome. Enough said. Photos below:
















I guess you could say I have had a pretty nice time over the holidays. I leave tomorrow night to go back to New York City... all is well. I am just looking forward to the wedding in May...

Until Next Time...

The apartment decorations for the New Year's bash are amazing! I'm impressed! And I like- the cocktail-less idea.
