Happy Holiday's

Well Christmas has come and gone, for anyone in Oregon you know of the "Arctic Blast" that covered us with about 15 inches of snow. I love snow and was so glad we had a white Christmas but....I'M SICK OF IT NOW. Fortunately it's rained enough that the streets are now drive-able and we can get out. My wonderful husband gave me a Tom-Tom for Christmas to help me get around Portland since I don't know the area. He is certain that I am having an affair with my Tom-Tom, but what do you expect he helps me get around town with out making fun of my driving.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Again I'm Sorry

Here again it's been way too long....

We are in Portland, settled and loving it. I can't begin to express how nice it is to be near family, I actually look forward to my mom dropping in and being able to go for weekend dinners with family. Another bonus all of our dearest and closest friends are right here or very near here. We had a great "friend" weekend last weekend with everyone staying at our house, IT WAS WONDERFUL.

I also have to say what a wonderful distraction the last few months have been in the baby area of life. I haven't even had time to think about it and it has been great. I even had a few fleeting days of being happy we don't have kids yet, going through this with kids would have proved to be trying. Don't get me wrong I would have gladly taken on that challenge had I been given that opportunity...but this evening I seemed to have gotten slapped in the face with "you don't have a child". The holiday cards started coming today, the first two I happened to open were adorable pictures of new babies within the last year. They now hang on our fridge with magnets strategically placed and I am hiding in my office doing schoolwork/blogging. My poor husband, he try's so hard to understand but just does not get why Holiday cards would send me back over the edge.
....seven days and I can put them away
