It's been a while

OK, OK. I've been meaning to post something on this thing for quite some time now, but have never really felt motivated to actually sit down and write something. But since my friend Kristy from B.C. (who unfortunately I haven't managed to actually talk to for many, many months) chastized me for being so lazy, I figured I'd better post something, anything, even if it's boring. So don't blame me if it is.

Anyway, I'm trying to think of all the stuff that has happened since I returned from India in October. Hmm...Joe's parents came down from the Soo for Thanksgiving weekend. It was fun. They were the first ones to use the guest suite in the basement, so that was neat. We spent one day in Toronto, mostly just wandering around and then having dinner.

Joe turned 26 in November...he is now officially on his way to 30, which makes me feel like less of a cradle-robber. (Just kidding).

A TV crew from David Suzuki's The Nature of Things came to our house in the fall to film our house for a show that will air in the summer on "green" building. It was kind of neat, though not as exciting as I thought. I'm looking forward to seeing the show though. The house's architect brought the students from his class for a tour of the house. I had about 15 unviersity students wandering through the place...they thought it was all quite cool. And recently I've heard that a magazine called Wish wants to come take pictures of the house for a future article. I guess this house is quite a big deal.

I was asked to be a bridesmaid in Joe's brother's wedding in July. I was very surprised and touched and happy! It's going to be a super-fun wedding, I just know it. Can't wait! Joe is the best man, so it will kind of be like the wedding where we first met - I was a bridesmaid and Joe was best man at Joe and Marge's wedding. So romantic, eh?

My rabbit, Casey, is as cute as ever. His latest place to sleep is the bottom shelf of our book case. Adorable.

I had my first party in the new house in early December. It was a Christmas open house and I had about 30 people come by throughout the day. I cooked and baked my butt off that weekend getting ready for it! It was a great success though, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.

I'm sure there is some more news, but I can't think of anything else right now. Joe and I are busy getting ready for Christmas, of course, and Joe is very happy to have some down time after being super-busy studying for exams and writing a gazillion essays for school. Thankfully, I'm on Christmas holidays now and will be until January 2nd. Hallelujah.

Anyway, I tried posting some pictures, but for some reason, it's not working. I'll have to try again later.
Until next time,
A.
