Hey.. what a day today. It was a little long but it was a good day! I had to wake up at about 8:30 and start to get ready for work. As I was getting out of Bed Wagner woke up too and we started talking for a little bit. AFter I got all ready for the day, Allie was out and about too so Wagner and Allie and I just hung around a bit before I needed to go to work. We took a lot of pictures of ourselfs too this morning. I should be able to get those posted sometime after Christmas. But then it became time for me to need to head out and get to work. I had to say my goodbyes to Wagner and get on my way. Things at work actually seemed to go by rather quickly today that was pretty nice. Yesterday was Andy's Birthday so today I bought us all lunch (Tokyos) and we had a nice little "Party" kind of thing for him. Once we closed up for the day I had to get going to get a christmas present all ready. It was a present for the Donnebergs so I wasn't able to go to thier house to set it up and wrap it. I decided I would go to the church and do everything there, I also had a few things I needed to take care of for sunday anyway. I ended up getting a process started and then I had to go help Han for about 4 hours running him all over Lynchburg. First I went to pick him up and we loaded up my van will all his stuff we were going to take to his apartment. Then on our way to his place, we stopped at the Mall. While we were there I went to get my hair cut (Which nobody here really likes) and Han went off and did some shopping. It was really cool though because while I was getting my hair cut I had an opportunity to share Christ somewhat with the stylist. I didn't really bluntly share the gospel or anything. But our conversation focused on God a lot. That was really neat to be able to do. I ended up tipping her pretty good too. After I got done with my hair cut I ended up having to wait for Han to come back for like 20 minutes. (and he was the one worried about being late to work). But that was kind of cool too because while I was waiting I ended up seeing the lady that cut my hair leave and then come back with some Lunch. She saw me sitting there and she told me she was really greatful for me because if I hadn't tipped her she wouldn't have had any money to eat lunch today. That was a neat thing to see too. Anyway, after sitting there for like 20 minutes Han finally came back and we were able to go try and drop off his stuff at the apartment. This part was kind of annoying, Han never called his friend and told him when he would be there to bring his stuff so when we got there.. the door was locked and there was nobody home. We ended up just having to go back to campus and dropping off all his stuff at the radio station where he works. Once he got all set up at work I was free to leave. I still had a lot more work to do back at the church with the Christmas present to the Donnebergs so I hurried back there and finished it up. While I was there Allie ended up calling me to see where I was and when I would be back.. luckly I was almost done by then and only had to wrap the present before I went back home. We ended up exchanging gifts tonight after everybody ate dinner. I figured I better give it to them a few days before I had to leave town so they could use it and I could make sure everything was working right. If you haven't guessed by now, I gave them a Laptop for Christmas. I just made it a whole family gift and I had to refrain these past few weeks from buying things I saw that would be great gifts for some of them. I guess I at least have a few good ideas now for Birthdays and such. But anyway.. they also gave me my gifts tonight. They were all pretty good I though. Britt got me a really good looking shirt that I plan on wearing to church tomorrow. Chuck and Jo got me some stuff to make lots and lots of different kind of paper airplanes. Chuck also got me a little leather holder to put my passport in. At first when I got it I didn't really even know what it was.. but after they explained it to me I thought it was a neat idea. Then Allie got me quite a few things. She ended up getting me some Finding Nemo Playing cards, some finding Nemo Fruit snacks (very good by the way). She also got me as kind of a prank gift but still practical. Two different kinds of Shampoo. (Yes there is a story behind that but you will have to ask me later if you want to hear about it). Then as my last gift she got me a brand new fuzzy blanket. It has a picture of a Dog and Cat on it. That thing is so warm and comfortable.. I like it a lot! After we made a mess of the family room and threw wrapping paper all over everywhere and all the gifts were exchanged I had to demonstrate a few things to them with the laptop. I had it setup for wireless internet so basicly as soon as they pulled it out of the box and turned it on they were up and online. They all thought it was the coolest thing. After that things kind of died down and I headed to the computer room to do my devotions because I didn't get a chance earlier to do it. Other people sort of started to mingle in there too so it took me a little longer to finish them. (I still need to do a little more before bed). But afterward I had a few more gifts to wrap for me to take home with me for my family. I also did a few for a White Elephant game we will do at church tomorrow night. Eventually my mom ended up getting online and I was able to talk to her while I fixed one of the computers down here that has been acting up a lot lately. But now the time has come for me to head to bed. The comptuers fixed and everyone else had gone to bed. I need to wake up tomorrow morning and be at church by 8:30.. I gotta get some Z's. Night!
