Goats

So, today is Christmas. It's been good mostly. We spent the first part of our day at my grandparents in Gaylord and then I got to hang out with my mom which was the best part of my day.

You may have noticed that this post is called, "Goats." Well, you are probably asking yourself why it's called that. I'll tell you!

Troy asked me what I wanted for a Christmas about a month ago and I asked him not to get me anything. The other day he said he had to buy my gift and I reminded him that he wasn't supposed to get me anything. On Sunday (at the Wallace family Christmas) Troy said he wanted to talk to me about my gift. Instead of buying me a gift he purchased a goat for a family so they can have the milk from Samaritan's Purse. I can honestly say that it was the best gift I've ever received...well, sort of received.

I guess there are two main reasons I loved it so much. Reason one: I don't need anything and didn't want anything but that family could really use the goat. Reason two: it showed me that Troy really knew me and knew that it would be something that I would really like and a great alternative to getting me something. It made me feel good :)

Happy Birthday Jesus! (sort of..)
