Happy New Year

So happy new year to the world!
Matt and I have been home less then a week and already I am missing my family like crazy! But at least there is modern technology that allows me to keep up with all those far spread chickens...I just wish I could do more then look at pictures or talk. Somebody really needs to invent a way to hug someone long distance. I would totally pay for that.
As for the Christmas haul this year...Matthew bought me two of the books I wanted, (one relating to color, and the other a big book of fairy tales!) as well as two things of perler beads. I'm excited to try them out too, I just don't know what it is I want to try making. Something small and easy first probably. Like Zelda sprites or something...I just don't know yet.
I also received two video games from Tyson, Tecia, Jamin, and Shanda...they got them from Matthew's wish list, (and then the little stinker actually told them that! >.<) but I don't care. I was touched that they would go so far to find something I'd like so I already decided I would give them both a try. Besides, one is a Mario game! Who could resist?
I got (for myself. :P) a box of hair dye, Chantilly perfume and body wash, as well as the traditional orange and toothbrush in my stocking. No candy for me this year~! Which is not that impressive considering how much candy I have consumed in this week alone. -_-()
The absolutely best present I received this year though came from my in-laws, who I shall be punishing severely for disobeying me! (Well...maybe. >.>) After we had finished unwrapping presents and were bamphing around together Matthew gets up and gets his car keys and while he's looking around for his shoes I ask him what he's doing. His answer? "Getting something from the car...that you can't kill my family for."
-_-
Yeah. I blew my top; he was giggling insanely when he came back with the gift because he could hear me shouting all the way at the bottom of the stairs. And then of course he actually showed me the huge freaking box and I had another conniption fit.
...But I will admit, when I opened it and saw what was inside...I just about died! My sewing machine has been out for months now, and in addition to having one that works now it is a brand, spanking new one! Like...computerized and everything! :D
Matt has been teasing me like crazy since then, but I can't help it! I am sooooo freaking happy!! I'm afraid my threats to destroy me family are all in vain now; and worst! They know it!
But, in order to keep such a thing from happening again, (it's the principle of the thing,) as well as to get them all off my case, and prevent anyone from feeling like they got me the wrong thing again, I came home and wrote out a giant freaking wishlist, which is now posted on my profile. No one may ever complain that I don't want anything ever again! >.<
Oh geez; I just saw that time and realized I'll have to wrap all this up, or save the rest for later. I'll try to remember to post what Matt got, and the families reactions to our gifts, (all good, I assure you.) :)
