Pramote arrived in Louisville, Kentucky on late thursday night (Christmas Eve). I was waiting at the airport to pick him up and bring him to my home in Frankfort. I was so excited to see him when he stepped off the plane. My heart wouldn't stop pounding. Just the sight of him makes my emotions run wild. :) We drove back to Frankfort and talked the whole way and when we arrived at my home Toni was still awake waiting to see Pramote.

Toni loves Pramote to death and just as soon as he came in the house she took him away from me...LOL I had to actually ask her to share him with me...LOL It took some time, but she finally decided to share him with me a little bit.

We went to bed late that night and the next day (Christmas Day) we woke up and watched Toni play with her toys that Santa had brought her and then we all exchanged gifts and opened them.

Pramote had bought me a very beautiful necklace. It is silver with a heart on it and a vile that has a piece of rice in it with both of our names written on it. It was so romantic. :)

Pramote bought Toni a Leap Frog game that would help her with her ABC's and a bunch of animal videos (which she watches all the time)and a monkey mitt that makes monkey sounds when you throw the ball into it's mouth. I could have hurt him for that one...LOL

Pramote bought my mom a candle and my dad a Jim Beam lighter and my sister a watch. We all loved our gifts very much. :)

Toni and I bought Pramote a sweater, boxers and Polo cologne. My mom and dad bought Pramote a shirt, tie, flash light and goodness I can't remember it all...LOL My sister got Pramote a shirt also. :)

After we exchanged gifts at my house we all got ready and went over to my grandparents for Christmas dinner. This is where Pramote got to meet my crazy family members...LOL My whole family liked Pramote right off and the cousins even had us getting married before we left there. :)

My mom and dad kept Toni with them at my grandparents house so that Pramote and I could have some time alone. We left there and went to the store to buy a lottery ticket together (can't hurt to try huh?) then we drove around Frankfort so that I could show Pramote a little bit of it. We made it back to the house and I showed Pramote some old pictures of Toni and myself.

Toni and my parents arrived and we watched t.v. with Toni while we sat around eating...LOL We love to eat at my house. :) To top everything off our furnace went out while Pramote was visiting so I froze him to death...LOL (Not really...This gave me a chance to keep him WARM) We had to go to bed early that night because Pramote's flight back to Maryland left VERY early on Saturday morning.

By the time we arrived at the airport the next mornigh Pramote's flight had been changed and he had to leave right away.

Each time I see him the leaving part is very hard and it just gets harder each time. :( But I knew that I would be with him again in a few days because I was going to visit with him for the New Years Eve weekend. :)
