Brandon - 1, Naomi - 0, and...Laurence - 1

Yesterday, due to impatience on both of our parts, we did our gift exchange. Yesterday afternoon, Naomi called me to declare that "both our gifts are here!" When I got home, we pretty much made a fast-grab for the gifts. I went first and opened my awesome new shoes which I'm sporting today. Naomi went next, and got...board games? Wha? The look of disappointment was quite comical. It took me a minute to realize that the gift she just opened was actually a belated wedding gift from Laurence, who told me he was going to find the perfect board game for us. And he did: Pillars of the Earth is a fun-looking board game that is based on the classic novel, abook Naomi has on her bookshelf. So Lolo also gained ground. No gifts for Naomi. Man, was she ever depressed after that! :)
