The Meyering Christmas Gathering

This gets me caught up to the present time. Tonight we had the Meyering get-together. Rachel was plugging her blog and, incidently, inspired us to get going on ours. Once again, Gavin managed to steal the show.

The Wagner Christmas Gathering

Wednesday afternoon was a get together with Amy's mother's side of the family. We ate, opened a few gifts, played a game of Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit and pretty much watched our nephew, Gavin, be the center of attention.

Arnie's Day (December 21)

This past Wednesday we celebrated "Arnie's Day." Two years ago we met after church for the first time to go on a blind date (we were set up by Kate York) and went to Arnie's for lunch. This year we went for breakfast and got to sit at the very same table we sat at two years ago. The hostess was going to seat us at a table nearby so I requested "our" table and explained why it was so important. We reminisced about how nervous we were, how conspicuous we felt and how Amy dropped her boxed up leftovers in the lobby on the way out and how her fries went all over the floor. Arnie's gave us a little cake (more like a big cupcake) to commemorate the occasion.

It's no longer all about me

I haven't done well keeping up on writing this blog at all. Part of it is because my life doesn't seem all that exciting to me but also because I really wasn't writing this for anybody but myself and I've never had much sticktoitiveness with journals. Amy and I had talked before about doing one together but it never really got off the ground. We've thought a little more seriously since Rachel, Amy's cousin, started writing hers and has found it a really good way to keep in touch with the family. Since mine wasn't going very far on it's own we are going to make it about us and not all about me. This should also make it much, much more interesting to read.
