I said yes!

Well I had some fabulous Christmas presents this year, but if I did have to pick a favorite, it would have to be my engagement ring.

Geofford and I exchanged Christmas presents on Christmas eve as we were together with his parents. I was shocked and surprised when he picked me up on Christmas day to go to Christmas dinner that he had another present for me and wanted to wait until Christmas day to give it to me.

When he pulled out the ring box, I was speechless, and put the ring on with no hesitation. He did have to ask me later if I actually did entend to marry him, and of course I sayd yes! 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Done and Done...

Phew...another chapter of my life is done...I have completed all the work for my Master's degree. Now I am just waiting to see if I passed all my courses to see if I receive the degree :)

I have also finished my contract at Alcatel.

It's a strange feeling now being done. I am not used to not knowing what I will be doing, so this should be interesting. I have always had a plan, and now I'm not sure what is going to happen. I will start looking for a job in January and we'll see where that takes me.

For now I am looking forward to sleeping...and enjoying all of the Christmas food.

Merry Christmas to all!

Tag?

I have been tagged by my brother (Francis)...I'm not sure if he knew that I was reading his blog because I am procrastinating finishing my paper or he was planning on later sending an email out about this. Anywho, here are the rules: The first player of this game started with the topic "Five Weird Habits of Yourself," and then tagged 5 people, who then had to write an entry about their five quirky little habits, as well as state the rules of this game clearly, and then list the next 5 people they wanted to tag. So here goes.
(You can click on the above link - the title - to read his list of weird habits)

1. I always try to clean my plate/rice bowl when I eat a meal.
This comes from an old chinese superstition that my mother taught me (it might have just been a tactic to convince me to eat all of my dinner, but it works), that for the number of grains of rice that are left in your bowl will number the pock marks on your husband's face. I also read this in the Joy Luck Club so I guess my mother didn't make it up :)

2. I like to collect things (especially crafty things).
For example, i have a great paper collection because I do a lot of card making and a little bit of scrapbooking, and you can never have enough paper. I also have many different types of punches, scissors, pens, paints, etc... But I also collect things like cereal - I think that there are three different cereal boxes on my counter because I like having a variety of cereals to choose from.

3. I like things to match.
I like matching sets - sweater sets, dish sets, underwear, tracksuits, etc. This may be why I have so much stuff, but this can also be traced back to number 2 - I like to collect things.

4. I shake my leg when I am very tense, tired, or just plain bored.
I find it hard to sit still. A lot of times I won't even notice that I am shaking until someone (usually my co-workers) asks me to stop.

5. I touch my hair a lot.
Especially when I am nervous. My dad once made fun of me after I MCed a show when I was younger because I was constantly flipping my hair whenever I was on stage. I learned from that to tie up my hair in situations where I might get very nervous in front of a lot of people.

So there are my five weird habits...maybe not so weird, but definitely not usual :)

I tag: Geofford, Jaclyn, Damian, Tracy and Dad.

Meet Shay Patrick Thibert

Shay Patrick Thibert was born November 30th at 5:14pm to Lisa Reynolds and Stephan Thibert.

He is a super good baby when I went to meet him, but then again he was only 1 day old, so he was pretty tired and slept alot. He was quite quiet during the time that I went to visit him at the hospital.

Lisa is doing well. Tired, but well. I'm sure she can't wait to take Shay home.
