It was a Hit!
Well the christmas for kids dance that we threw was a hit. There were about 300 people there and They brought a shitload of toys and gift cards. we filled up about ten SUV's with stuff. The needy chidren of Hopatcong New Jersey should have a little bit of a nicer christmas. If this is any indication of future events we're in good shape. There were more people than last year and hopefully next year there will be even more. We decided that we need a more aggressive ad strategy. We just posted flyers around town. We have a couple of Ideas for next year.
The crowd was really into the whole spirit of the thing. We did two long sets of dance music and between our sets the Kids from the
Peter Smith school of Irish Dancing came and danced a few numbers. These kids are awesome to watch. I don't know if you've ever seen Irish dancing before but it was The icing on the cake for this event. They were so good and the crowd really enjoyed their dancing. It kicked the whole night up a notch. I was so impressed by them. I have to get a gold membership one of these days so I can post some pics of all the toys that were donated and of the Kids dancing.
Onto other things, The wife and I had some really nice relations last night. The kids went to bed early and we didn't have anything to get done so Giddy Up!!! It was pretty amazing. Let's just say I slept really good last night. God I love her. It's been real tuff lately with us. We are both so busy working and when we're not working we're taking care of three kids and trying to keep the house up. We forget why we got married in the first place. I don't have to tell you parents out there that it's hard because you already know. I get to a point where I just get overly frustrated and I have a hard time understanding how we can go on like this. Then we talk about it and confirm our love for eachother. And if the timing is right.......Boom.......great sex! I'm glad we work through all of this stuff. Some people never talk about stuff, I think it is the key to a lasting relationship. Though she might not want to hear it sometimes I tell my wife what ever I'm thinking good or bad. I don't believe in being dishonest about what I'm feeling. If I'm pissed off about something then I'm pissed off and your gonna know that I am. It goes both ways as well. If I'm as happy as a pig in shit you're going to know that as well. So I guess what I'm saying is that we have a pretty honest relationship. She's honest with me and I'm honest with her no matter how much being honest may hurt. We have been to the edge of our relationship over the past seven years and I believe that our relationship is much stronger because of it.
At this moment in time, life is really good. Although hitting the lottery would be so fucking sweet right now.
