We bought a Christmas tree today. The original plan was to go cut one down but we lost motivation this morning and bought one instead. The guy cut us a good deal too. Originally 60, we got it for 40. It is now in the corner of our house overlooking the sound and the Olympic Mts beyond. We aren't completely finished with decorations, but here is what we got so far.







































On a much sadder note, my car got totaled. Saturday night, Dan was driving to a movie when a guy hit him at a stop sign then drove away. Dan is fine. All the airbags deployed to protect his face. Shook up a bit but that's all.

They haven't found the driver and I guess they probably wont. My insurance just called and told me the body shop said its a total loss. So they will be sending a guy out there to see how much of a check I get for a new car. Pray I don't get screwed.

The good thing is I get a rental car for a few days. And since this falls under the uninsured motorist category, the deductible is 200 instead of 500. All good news. Except for the actual accident...yeah.

Here is the damage:






























I have other news but I think these two pieces are big enough for now. Oh yeah, I turn 24 in two days. I keep forgetting.

You know, it is starting to feel like Christmas. The last two or three Christmas' were not all that great. But right now, I can see it being a good Christmas this year. Maybe it's the smell of the tree in our living room or the lights decorating the stairs...I don't know but it feels promising.
