Christmas & Boxing (!)

What a great Christmas! Mike & I spent most of our time with both our families and had plenty to eat & drink. Today, we went to see "Rocky Balboa" (a movie Mike had been looking forward to seeing for quite a long time). I will admit I was worried that this film was going to be pretty cheesy, but I was pleasantly surprised! They tied up all of the loose ends in the series, and to their credit, they did it in a believable way. I would even go as far to say that I would see this film again; I know my dad would LOVE it. It gets two thumbs up from me, so if you're in the mood for a good film, now you know what to see. YO, ADRIAN!

Booked the Belated Honeymoon!

It's official--Mike & I will be headed out on a Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon, and only 10 months after our wedding!!! Can't wait until March!!!

Heisman Winner!!!

We can stop saying "leading Heisman candidate" and finally call him the 2006 Heisman winner--Troy Smith won college football's most distinguished award last night. Anyone who follows Ohio State knows this guy's great story, so I won't go into detail here. I just wanted say thanks to this guy for making the past few years--especially this year--pretty damn exciting. And to see Coach Tressel brought to tears last night--it was just beautiful. But as Woody would say, we still have one game to win--LET'S GO BUCKS!!!

Sick sucks.

Well, Mike & I were supposed to go to the Browns game yesterday, but a nasty cold changed those plans. I've been feeling lousy since Thursday evening, so I stayed home from work Friday and have pretty much just laid around everyday since. We watched the game--what a great ending!--and were thrilled that my brother John & his friend Tom were able to go and see a great overtime win. No city in the country deserves a winning team more than Cleveland. Mike & I ended up going to Mongolian BBQ to celebrate our 6-month anniversary, and then we came home to watch the Browns game in the comfort of our living room; we still wore the sweatshirts I bought us for the game! Sneezing and nose-blowing aside, it was a great weekend.
