And it All Starts Back...

Well...Christmas turned out to be absolutely amazing once again. Mom and Dad actually had most of Christmas ready this year by the time I got home, which was a plesant and relaxing surprise. Of course, my favorite neice got to see me and all she could do was smile (maybe that's because that's all I could do)! Rylee is growing up so fast and I can't wait for her to be Candace and I's little flower girl. Mom and Dad got me a television for the future apartment and Candace got me a Glock 22 (.40 caliber pistol)! I think I'm ready for life now.

Speaking of the beautiful girl in my life, we set our wedding date for June 5th, 2010. Yes, there is plenty of time before then, but this time will be good for Candace and I to continue to build our relationship with God and between ourselves. This also gives Candace time to finish school at Cumberland. We actually have quite a bit of planning done thus far and are just collecting money until the big day presents itself. Today, we actually counted my change (All the change I get goes into my "piggybank" and is known as the "honeymoon fund"). It's amazing how much money you can accumulate when saving your extra change, however...it is hardly enough to pay for any of the honeymoon ideas that I have in mind, so any donations would be most helpful...haha.

I came back to Williamsburg, KY on December 27th and then kept stats for a high school basketball tournament for a few days. The tournament was extended for an extra day and ran into the New Year's Eve party due to a chemical spill across the street from the high school. This chemical spill happened on the final day of the tournament, but...once again, my faithful bride-to-be stood beside me the whole tournament so that I wouldn't be alone. ahhh....how sweet...i know.

I ended up spending New Year's Eve at Candace's aunt and uncle's house with her family and we had a great time. On the 4th-6th, I traveled with Candace's family to North Carolina where we spent a couple of days skiing and relaxing in a nice cabin that overlooked the ski slopes. No one got hurt, but we were all a little sore on the way home. Mom called me yesterday and warned me that there was going to be a flood in Williamsburg (I guess she forgets that I have a window and can see outside, I don't know...haha. love you mom) So, just for her sake, I have put a picture up that shows the high school baseball field and the town park under water.

The Christmas break has been very good to me and I can't thank God enough for the people that he has put into my life to help me through each and every day. Stay tuned for the next update and more and more things are going to change for me this next semester.
