The New Year (and the last moments of the last one)
The end of 2006 was definitely not what I had expected. I went to visit Ryan at his home in Richmond for New Year's. We met up at Short Pump when I got to town and David was able to meet us :-) I hadn't yet seen David in 2006 so it was a nice way to round out the year. It's always great to see him. After getting back to the Strickler's house, Ryan and I exchanged gifts. He bought me a foot spa, socks, and some pedicure stuff. He loved the Curb Your Enthusiasm and DMOB gift certificates I got for him. Shotly afterwards, I became really sick. I ended up feeling well enough to come downstairs and watch the Tech game on TV with his parents, but not well enough to go watch it at his oldest brother's townhouse. I felt really bad Sat. night after the game and when I woke up Sunday morning, I still felt awful. I was in such good hands with Ryan. He took such good care of me. He laid with me in bed and talked to me or just laying there to be a warm body while I tried to nap. By late Sunday afternoon I was feeling well enough to go out and about with him. We went to another mall and came home to eat dinner with his family. His two brothers, their girlfriends, Ryan's friend, and us all went out to a couple parties. Neither one was very exciting unfortunately. I still managed to have an okay time though. Getting a kiss at midnight on New Year's had definitely been on my to-do list for awhile. After getting back to Ryan's house, we went up to my room and passed out in my bed, waking up at 6 am. When Ryan woke up to go take out his contacts and turn off our light, I started feeling sick again. I ended up leaving his house around 9:45 because I felt as though coming back to Blacksburg would make me feel better. I was sad because we couldn't get a hold of Jen and Tyler to hang out with them, although I'm not sure how much we would've been able to due to my illness.
So, since being back at home in the burg, I've hung out with Chris and Lucy. I went with Chris yesterday to exchange some gifts he received. I think we're going to try and see "Pursuit of Happyness" in the next few days. I went out to Target with Lucy last night. We just walked around.
As for today, I need to go to wal mart and pick up a few things. I'm going to try and meet up with Sara. Her gift is in the backseat of my car and I need to get rid of it. I'll be sending out Ryan's mom's thank you note as well today. To thank her for the gift she gave me and for letting me stay at their house. That's all I got I believe. I hope everyone's having a great new year so far :-) |
