Overalls

So tonight I celebrated Christmas with Dad since I go to Orangeburg with Mama for the holiday each year. We sat down before dinner and I started opening my gifts. The first a smallish sized box.. Let me tell ya, I had no idea what I was getting this year; I honestly didn't really know what I wanted. It was a camera! It's cool, a nikon coolpix that projects pictures and video on the wall! He bought himself one, too, so we have matching cameras haha. And so I continue with the cameras, this must be the 50th- more like 5/6th digital camera I've gotten. Let's just say I have bad luck with technology.. Cameras have dropped on the pavement, in the ocean, lake, etc. My computer has crashed- twice, and now there is STILL a grey's anatomy dvd in there! I've gone through too many phones to count, I didn't even like the iphone.. not typical. But I'm content with my blackberry.. I particularly like bbm/b2b- aka blackberry messenger! 

The second box was fairly big. Again, not quite knowing what to expect since my interests range from whitewater kayaking to visiting the pvb spa and everything else in between, I opened the box. It was the patagonia pullover I'd been wanting! I had tried it on everytime I went in the store, and now I actually have one. YES! It's soft, comfortable, and warm.. and it's coming with me to Vegas!

Box number three. A USPS box, flat, but fairly long. What in the world? By the way, Daddy actually wrapped this year- that is a first. He doesn't do the whole wrapping thing, so I felt like I should take pictures.. but did not. I had to use his knife to open this box, until I realized there was a pull tab on the side, much easier. I still couldn't see in, pulling the object out thinking it was a jacket- I love jackets! But no, it was.. drum roll, please.. what I'd always wanted:

ORANGE OVERALLS!!!

I rushed to the other room to try them on, perfect fit! I had waited for years for these things! I wanted them when I was younger, never got them. Then I decided I'd get them when I got into Clemson.. no. I asked for them for Christmas, Birthday, etc for maybe.. 4 years now? I found out today that my family thought I was kidding all along! That's a big time negative. WOW. So thanks, Daddy- for making my life with, yes, a pair of orange overalls from Judge Kellers! They'll get more wear than my Lilly overalls, I'm sure, since they've come out for pre-recruitment and a mixer. And man have I gotten heck for them! I think they're great though.. so KMA to the Lilly haters ;)

All I need now is a pair of Carhartt overalls to add to my collection, if you will. Well, I'm pumped about these orange overalls, and I'm wearing them tomorrow. Mama's gonna love it!

I can't wait until the next basketball game when we get back, it'll be AWESOME!

Oh yeah, I had to pick up a football on my way over to Dad's tonight? About that.. 

A man who work's for him has a son who is best friends with CJ! YES! And so, they are going on a trip with JACOBY to Michigan, and they're going to sign the football! AHHHH!

How great! :)
