Happy Birthday to me...

SO, I just finished posting my birthday blog and blogger deleted it. SOOOO...to sum up. Pictures will be on their way soon as we will be back online SOON!
We are excited to share picts of our new house...and the changes we have made on our living room walls.
Also, our new puppy, Dallas, is really excited to be posted on ciberspace as well!
More to come soon!

my stagnant blog

I am sorry about the lack of bloggage happening here. We don't have internet at home and don't plan to get it back until after we move...so, no promises about getting back into the swing of thing soon!
We got back from Canada and have been going going going since we got home! Doug has been busy at work...thanks to the many homes that have flood damage from the recent downpour that wouldn't stop. I have been busy packing the house in hopes that our ever impending move will happen sooner than it probably will.
We did take a break the other night and went out to one of our favorite places, Freddy's Just for the Halibut...SOOOO good! We don't get out much anymore so it was a special treat and a great way to celebrate out 8th monthiversary!
Well, my updates seem boring without pictures but alas, I have no control over this unfortunate circumstance! I hope all you internets are doing well and updating better than I am!

Oh Canada...

Happy New Year from British Columbia!!!

The last few days have been packed with fun...and good food! Starting Wednesday night, after Doug got off work we drove north and got to Canada in time to ring in the new year!


Once the new year celebrating settled down, we had Christmas! We got lots of fun gifts:
Doug's fun new jacket...

I got my Christmas pajamas..

For the first day of 2009 we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Taste of Punjab'...



On Friday, we got up and set to the town. We took the Sky Train:

And the Sea Bus:


We saw the sites and enjoyed a great meal at the Spaghetti Factory:



This clock is powered by steam...

back to the library...

So...soon we will be moving...although we have been saying that for a while now. Really, we are going to move...soon. In the process we have disconnected our home phone and our Internet...so I get to go to the lovely Longview library to meet all my internety needs. All that to say...you won't be seeing many posts on here for a while...like maybe a month, or so. Most definitely not any posts with pictures...because they frown on me sticking foreign electronics into there precious computers. Understandable.
Side note: It is kind of a pain to use the computers here, you have to sign up ahead of time and can only use them for a hour each day...this is fine for me but I am glad I am not trying to write a paper or something really important!!!
On a more newsy note, we are going to Canada tomorrow. We are really going this time...because it is just supposed to rain for the rest of this week(and next week, and probably the next)...not snow. I am packing in anticipation.
Well, I think I have had just about as much as I can stand in terms of the Longview public...and the Longview Public Library.
So, see you on the next post!

Happy New Year!!

Christmas fun!!!

Merry Christmas...

Pretty much any plans we made for Christmas this year have been changed because of the snow...we have enjoyed it though!



Merry Christmas to everyone...we wish we could see you all to celebrate together!

More snow fun...

We like to take pictures of our feet...you know in the sand at the beach, in the water at the creek...and in the snow...



Today we had to get out to run a couple of errands...while we were out we went to the mall and Doug gave me an early Christmas present...new snow/hiking boots!!!



So to break them in...we went for a walk for a couple hours...the lake was so pretty:



Here we are all bundled up:



Doug made a snow angel:



and he played on the playground:



and stuck his tongue on the frozen gate:



Here are a couple pictures of the island all lit up at the lake:
