White Elephant Gift Exchange

I’m on the social committee at my job. We are having our first annual Christmas party. At the party we have decided to play the white elephant gift exchange. I thought it was a great idea so I decided to share the rules. Enjoy!!!

1. Decided how much your gifts will cost. We chose $15.

2. Instruct each guest to bring a gift of determined value, wrapped and unmarked.

3. Let everyone blindly pick a number

4. Player 1 selects a gift and opens

5. Player 2 can take any opened gift or select a wrapped gift

6. If your gift gets taken, you then get to open a new gift

7. Continue in order until all gifts have been opened

True Love

It’s something about this man that I absolutely adore. I love him more than words can explain. May 03^rd 2014 was our first date. Today is December 05, 2014. It’s been seven months!!! Seven months may not seem like a long time to some but in all honesty a lot can happen in seven months. A lot has happen these past seven months. Slowly but surely he is showing me how to love. I’ve never been in love before. I didn’t know what it felt like to be loved. I never truly love before… In the movies love is always rainbows, fairies, and butterflies. If love was always loving and sweet it wouldn’t be real love. Sometimes you and your significant other have to go through things. You fall down together and you help build each other up again. Knowing your significant other help you reach your maximum potential only draws you in closer. It makes your love that much stronger. I believe my love is helping me reach my maximum potential. It is so amazing to know I have someone that is praying for me; praying for our relationship together. It is amazing to know I can be myself around him. It is amazing to feel secure enough to tell him all of my wants, needs, desires, concerns, jokes, goals, etc. I feel supported. I feel loved. Although, our time together had its rough moments the good far outweigh the bad. The best advice I’ve received about our relationship is God will show you the way. Nobody can tell you what to do. You simply have to listen to what’s inside of your heart to understand what your next move is.
