What's new!

Helllloooooo! (to be read as Mrs. Doubtfire, thank you)
Well, Christmas has now passed and I have received some very nice things from my family; a purse, a wallet, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, socks, a Mr. Potato Head (random, yes I know), a few gift cards, a necklace, a shirt, and the Word of Promise NIV Audio Bible! The last of which I am so excited about! I've listened to the first few chapters of Matthew thus far!
Another gift I received was not from my family, but from the man I love....
... it was the Planet Earth DVD set, which I am also so excited about! We haven't really had our Christmas yet. I am heading to College Station this coming Wednesday, the last day of 2008 and we will share our first kiss of the new year! My first new year's kiss with a man I truly love! Yay! So excited! (Who knew that was coming?!) So to sum it all up, Christmas this year has been good and... exciting! It's such a blessing to share a Christmas with a significant other! Granted we were both missing each other. I think of him throughout the day and imagine him coming up behind me and kissing me on the neck or walking around the corner and finding him there.... Sigh. When love blossoms 300 miles away, the watering can must have a spout more than 1,584,000 feet long! And though its hard, we seem to be making it work! (Micky will appreciate the math in that last comment, I promise.) I love him more and more each day! And can't wait to have our Christmas together during New Years!
I hope everyone had a merry Christmas! And I hope your new years will be as exciting as mine! God bless everyone!

...of Shellie the Weaver

So I am counting down the days til Christmas! I just so happen to know that I have a Word of Promise NKJ audio Bible under my tree and I am so excited about it!!! I am also excited about sharing Christmas with Micky this year! It's always exciting to spend a holiday with a significant other, but when you just happen to have one that is actually significant, it super special! I have gotten a couple of Christmas gifts for him, which I will not divulge here, as he might actually read this... But I have one left to buy. I am excited about his gifts! As I think he is equally excited about his gifts for me. I am slightly jealous though. It's snowing in College Station right now. Micky has been taking pictures, building snowmen, having snowball fights, making snow angels... ah, I miss snow! Maybe the hill country will see some this year! Snow that actually sticks to the ground that is.
Things are picking up at Hallmark and James Avery. Not as much at Averys but all in all, not bad. As always in retail there are going to be a few scrooges out there, especially so during the holidays, and they have already shown their faces in Hallmark. Two men not satisfied with the selection of cards we had. And all I did was smile and say, "Merry Christmas! Have a nice day!"
Hallmark appeals more to women anyway, but we have a dang good store here in Kerrville! We are rockin the socks off our district!
Anyway, I must get back to my Spurs game! Merry Christmas all and to all a good night!
