December 25, 2008

So this actually started a month and a bit ago, but I've been really lazy busy so I didn't update until now. by the way, Merry Christmas. right now, Bernice and I are part of the leadership team for the new young adult ministry at our church.

91. Get a TV

October 30, 2008

so the first thing i finished on my list was getting a new tv. i like it a lot. somehow when i was there, bernice convinced me to add a blu-ray player (so it was a little more expensive than planned) but the guy at best buy gave us a few discounts, plus a Cars blu-ray movie for free because nathan handed it to him with a cute smile. it's nice having a tv after 3 months without one.
