I have become a gaming nerd. For Christmas, one of Daniel's presents from my parents was "Animal Crossings: City Folk." Let's just say, I'd be embarrassed to admit how many hours I have logged on that baby. I'm obssessed with taking care of my town, upgrading my house, shopping for clothes and making MONEY (referred to as bells in the game). I basically do all those things I really wish I could do if I only had the money. I suppose this is why they call them "virtual reality" games.

I was successfully able to convince my parents and some close friends in Cali to purchase the game- because the best part about it is Wii Speak! We are able to visit one another in our towns and speak to each other. I know you have all seen the commercial. We also have some other friends in Cali who received AC for Christmas and it has helped to reconnect us. Yes, a game has brought us together with friends and family. If you too have this game, let me know and we can shop, fish and do many other things together (online that is).
