1600 Mile Christmas and More

Nearly every holiday for the past seven years has been a load of driving for me. I live in Kansas City – and none of my family does. That automatically means that I'm driving somewhere for the holidays. For the past fiveish Thanksgivings and Christmases, I've split my holiday-break time amongst my different relatives' places. This year, while being no different, was actually a bit larger than before. Instead of the normal 1,000 mile trek from KC to central Arkansas, my Jetta racked up over 1,600 miles.

But, as I said on my Facebook profile, this year was an incredible Christmas. Here are some of the highlights:

• event: dinner with the fellas (technically before xmas break, but it still counts
• gift: smoking pipe (like old men smoke... it rules!)
• event: Ashlee's familiy's kids' night
• gift: Apple's aluminum keyboard
• event: Todd's birthday dinner at Logan's Roadhouse – yes, Logan's Roadhouse
• event: Christmas Eve at grandparent's house
• event: Christmas morning at grandparent's house
• gift: my first cashmere sweater
• event: Christmas with Ashlee
• gift: Apple iPhone!!!!
• event: date night – Buffalo Wild Wings and The Kite Runner
• upcoming event: F-town friends in for the weekend and NYE

Lots of driving, but lots of thoughtful and kick-ass gifts.

Oh, I almost forgot the other thing that I got over the break – a 24-hour stomach flu. Yes, right on Christmas Eve and into Christmas day. Santa sure didn't forget me this year and I was so very thankful for it, too.

I hope everyone's holiday was amazing and I'm looking forward to 2008. See you on the flip-side.
