Dolphins beat Patriots for 6th win in a row
We went to Janell’s sisters house to watch football today. We mostly watched the Bucs game, but I also got to see that the Dolphins won their sixth straight game. The season is over for them, but they finished the season strongly, which was a huge improvement over last season. Nick Saban should get some votes for coach of the year.
Janell’s dad also fixed the brakes in the Bonnie, so we can get around town now. I still have to finish preparing for my upcoming trip (more on that later), and we have some people to visit. It should be a busy next few days.
We’re just sitting at Janell’s mom’s house waiting for 2006 to get here. We just shot off some fireworks, and now we’re fixing some snacks. Hope you all have a Happy New Year. We hope that 2006 is great. Thanks for your support and prayers during 2005. God has done a lot of cool things this year, and we look forward to seeing how He works in the coming year.

Janell just told me a funny story about our Christmas dinner this year. If you read my Christmas post, you know there were about 25 people over for dinner. I didn’t know, though, that a stranger walked in as we were about to sit down to eat as though she belonged at the house. Apparently, after a few seconds, she realized she was in the wrong house. She was going to Christmas dinner at a neighbor’s house. Oops. We’re such a friendly bunch of people that we didn’t even think twice about it. “Maybe she’s with someone else.”
Last night we went to my grandma’s house to spend some time with my sister and her husband. They bought me a poker set for Christmas, so we tried it out with them. We had a lot of fun eating Christmas cookies, candy canes, and drinking coffee. I’m glad they’re in town for Christmas.
We had a great Christmas Day with our family. At dinner, there were about 25 people at Janell’s mom’s house. It was a blast. We got cool presents (click to view a video of my favorite present), and Nathan loved opening the presents. Of course, he wanted to eat the paper more than anything, but it was a lot of fun. I think he had a pretty great first Christmas.
