Hi everyone, Mel and I got back yesterday. We were exhausted upon arrival because the littlest exertion after living a sedentary lifestyle for two weeks taxes the mind and body. It was fun with the Bellessas; a few of Melanie's sisters came with their husbands and kids and so we spent some time with everyone. We didn't do anything really active. Just layed around everyday, played games, ate food, the usual drill. It was fun and relaxing.
I talked to Jon yesterday and he said everyone was talking about how I am bitter because Jon got a computer for christmas. I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but that is simply not the case. The day I got married was the day I abandoned my bitter-prone attitude towards life. I acknowledge there was a time in my life when I believed I was overlooked. As I step back, I realize that attitude was neither warranted nor constructive in any way.
Thanks for all the nice presents Mom and Dad and Secret Santas! Mom and Dad got us some clothes that Mel, in particular, was very happy to get. Excellent taste Mom. They also got me a Seinfeld DVD and other good surprises. Evan got me the Bob Dylan documentary and Jon got Mel "Eat, Pray, Love" a book she has wanted. Mel got me the Bourne DVDs trilogy and the new Rivers Cuomo CD. I got Mel some CDs, Roman Holiday, and some clothes. The Bellessas got us a DVD Jeopardy game, but it wouldn't work so we returned it and we ordered yet more books and dvds from Amazon.com, my favorite store. We also got a blanket made by Melanie's mom. Sorry we were unable to use our phones in Montana.
Well, with the election results from yesterday I vow to spend the rest of my life working against the republican party. Bye,
Ryan

i always knew you had gotten past those unwarrented bitter feelings, no one in the family truly understands ryan.
on the contrary, i believe we understand ryan all too well. just kidding. jon, i know that you called everyone to inform them of your generous christmas...expecting everyone to repond with scoffs and jealousy. but it was not so. you were thus surprised when you did not receive the reactions that your ego so greatly desired. your plan backfired b/c everyone was pleased that you got such a nice gift from loving parents. thanks for the update ryan. did you get my message ryan? i called and just pumped "the dark side" into the phone.
