Since 1997 actually.... http://www.threedown.com admin@threedown.com(Matt Stoffel) Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 EST The holidays have come and gone, and I've got a moment to catch my breath between shoveling, wrapping, buying, drinking, mingling, hugging, driving, Wii-ing, calling, toasting, and all sorts of other -ing words! It's been a lot of fun the past couple weeks and Meg and I are doing really well. Xmas was great just the two of us that morning. I really like hanging out in our PJs and opening presents. Santa was good to us too. He gave us our wedding DVD and also provided a date to a fancy restaurant! That santa is such a romantic! Meg got me a bunch of cool clothes and the latest Simpsons DVD. I also got some great camera gear and gift cards too!. Meg's dad refinished a chair Meg picked up off the side of the road for us, so we brought that home. It's absolutely beautiful! He did an amazing job. Big thanks also to Meg's older sister and husband for hosting us for a few nights. New Year's was spent at Meg's good friend's house. We had a pretty relaxed evening playing some Wii and enjoying a ton of great food! We had a blast and big thanks to her parents for hosting us all! Meg and I just love road trips together, so it was a lot of fun. Oh, and one other thing. Meg has made a pen pal in PEI and she's loving it! I'm hoping we'll be back to visit the island real soon. It means so much to Meg and I. Anyway, I'm about to leave work now for the weekend, and I'll say that my New Year's resolution is to attempt to update this thing more. For those that check often, I'll try and bring you some cool stuff this year!... http://www.threedown.com admin@threedown.com(Matt Stoffel) Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:00:00 EST So at work we're doing these Jingle-Gram's for our co-workers. Basically, you write out a short note telling a person something that you are appreciative for. Call me a sap, but I'm having fun with it. It's nice taking time to remember an entire years worth of project plans, fire drills, successes, failures, and everything in between. To follow suit, here's a Jingle-Gram to all of you out there. You know who you are. Thanks for making this past year the best yet.We got our last Xmas decorations out last night and got the manger scene up on the mantel. The house is looking quite festive, and by festive I mean festive. It's always a lot of fun putting all the stuff up. Our tree looks great, even if it is a hand-me-down. I actually like it a lot and don't see us replacing it any time soon. I was ringing the sleigh bells that the wife got me on our honeymoon last night. I don't think there is a happier sound in the world than sleigh bells ringing. Real sleigh bells though, not the fake ones that sound all tin-like. No, they need to have the correct pitch and ring. Ours are brass and are simply perfect!... http://www.threedown.com admin@threedown.com(Matt Stoffel) Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:00:00 EST
