So it’s been quite awhile since I posted so I figure it’s about time. Well one of the busiest times of the year is now behind us. This last weekend was Christmas and we’re now approaching a brand new year. I still can’t believe it’s almost 2007.
Well the last month was a crazy one. We ended up having a crazy mid-December windstorm that left most people in the area without power for awhile. I ended up losing power for about 4 days. My mom lost power for about a week. They said that this windstorm was the worst once since the Inaugural Day windstorm in 1993. I remember that windstorm. I was still in school, still living in Covington, and we lost power for over a week.
The first night without power wasn’t too bad, but the second day the temperature dropped significantly and I didn’t think I’d survive staying home another day. Fortunately, Nif and Jeff were kind enough to let me stay with them for a couple of days while my power was still out. I cannot tell you how nice it was to have heat, a warm shower, and not to have to try to see by candlelight. My bro actually only lost power for a couple of hours so my mom and Sun were able to stay with him while their power was out.
Once my power came back, I ended up trying to play catch up since Christmas was in less than a week. I think I barely slept all week. It was worth it though because I got all the things I wanted to do done. Yay!
I was able to see Gina while she was home for Christmas so that was nice. We were able to hang out and catch up. Things are going better for her now in N.Y. and I’m glad because she’s had a tough time out there since she moved. She’s living in a new place that is much bigger and she was saying there’s plenty of room if I wanted to visit. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to N.Y. so I’m thinking I may want to try to plan a trip.
Well Christmas Eve was a blur of activity for me. My mom needed me to run an errand for her because she wasn’t feeling well. Gina also called and was coming down to drop something off from her mom. On top of this, I still had to wrap all of the gifts for my family. This all had to be done before I headed off to Anna’s house to see the Cabatits for a little bit before heading to Nif’s so that we could head down to Puyallup to meet people and do a gift exchange. Luckily everything got done and I was able to go everywhere I planned on going. Yay! It was nice to be able to visit with and see so many people on Christmas Eve.
My brother and I did our usual spend the night at my mom’s Christmas Eve so we’re there in the morning to open presents. This year we all stayed up until like 5am so there was no early morning present opening for us even though my mom tried waking us early. We did our usual open presents and have brunch. We had banana macadamia nut pancakes. Yum! I brought the mix back from Hawaii. We had a nice lazy day and had Christmas Day dinner. It’s nice to go back to our old Christmas traditions to BD (before Dan) times.
I would have to say that this Christmas was definitely one of the best in a long time! Good times and good people! Oh and some nice gifts, too!
