Hustle and bustle...

So I do believe I might have the coolest boss in this world. He gave me my Christmas present from him today. It had a sweet little card and he wrote very nice things in it. I opened my present and it was a pink and brown leather women’s devotional Bible. That was enough to make my eyes tear up. I flipped through it a little bit and when I closed it, I noticed he had Larriat McGhee imprinted on the front of it. He really put some thought into my gift and it REALLY meant a lot to me!

I got the girls at work each a reed diffuser for their home or office. They were all so excited! A very small, very cheap gift that went a really long way.

We got registered this weekend. Dewayne got to “man the scanner” and he had a blast with it. When I got home and checked them out online, I had quite a bit of editing to do since he kind of went overboard on some things… but nonetheless, we are registered! I am so excited. My shower is January 10th at 2:00 p.m. I am so excited!! I gave the lady at church that is throwing the shower my guest list last night. Look for your invites early in January!

We have some sample tuxes ordered for Dewayne, Mark and my dad to try on this weekend. I am really excited to get that done. I just remembered I changed my floral appointment to today at 5:00. I just called and cancelled it again. I am way too busy!!!

There is this sweet little guy that works out in the shop. He is on the safety committee with me. EVERY time he sees me, he says, “Hi, Mrs. McGhee, only X days left” and he always has it right! I really enjoy working here. There are some very thoughtful people!

Dewayne and I did the Salvation Army’s angel tree this year. We picked a little 6 year old girl named Jayla. The card comes with a need and a wish. Her need was clothes and her wish was “anything Hannah Montana”. We got her a pair of jeans, a pink striped sweat suit, a zip up jacket, some Hannah Montana fleece pajamas and a Hannah Montana doll. Best $50 I ever spent at Christmas! It is truly a blessing to be able to give a kid a real Christmas.

I am one gift shy of being done with my Christmas shopping. I know, cutting it close. I REALLY tried to put some thought into the nieces and nephew gift this year. There is one for each that I am so excited about! We decided to draw names for gifts next year… I am game unless I get Mark or Scotty. They are IMPOSSIBLE to shop for!
