Merry Christmas!

Great Christmas! I got more than I wanted! Many surprises...Wii (the dogs go nuts when I do the boxing on it=-/)...Jewelry and purse from the Brighton store...cool necklace from my sister...a cool sweatshirt from Tim at the gym plus cool stuff from my friends at the gym as well...books to help me with my workouts.

We opened our gifts Christmas eve then on Christmas day we went to The Salvation Army Shelter for Christmas dinner and then took all our dogs to Bella Vista to walk around the lake. They had a blast and it was so neat to be able to actually RUN with them. They were so exhausted when we got back to the car that they slept all the way home! Then we went to see a movie (National Treasure : Book of Secrets). All in all it was a great day.

Another thing that made today good was that I was able to give a gift to help out an old friend. At church on Sunday the Pastor passed out envelopes with a $20.00 bill in it and told us to give it to someone we thought needed it. He was stressing the point that it is better to give than to receive - of course that is not a stretch for me. I am enjoying the church I am attending now even though I do miss the Army especially on Sunday mornings.

I pray that you all had wonderful Christmas celebrations of your own and that you found just what you wanted under the Christmas tree! Blessings to you all! Kari
