It's been a long year...

...and boy, have we been busy. Shawn & I bought a house in North Ridgeville in February, moved in in April, and have been loving it ever since. It's great having a home of your own that you can do whatever you want to and no one will yell at you. We got everything unpacked and put away by the end of July (Mom says that's a record). I now have my very own scrapbooking area where I can leave my current projects out and don't have to pack up every day. It's wonderful. I am getting so much more done than when we were in the apartment and I had to work on the dining room table. Shawn is loving having a garage so that he can build stuff. Almost as soon as everything was set up, he went to Home Depot and bought new power tools. He wants to put a workbench in the garage so he can build shelves and whatnot for the basement and anything else he can think of!

Christina got married this year to a wonderful guy named Joe. We are all very happy for them both. They are adjusting well to married life. Joe gets along with everyone on both sides of the family, especially the kids. They LOVE him!!! I know he and Christina will be great parents. Speaking of which, Shawn and I have started to try having a child. Please don't ask us if we are pregnant yet...we'll let you know. It's fun trying and it'll happen when it happens.

More Later...

MERRY CHRISTMAS. HAPPY HANNUKAH. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
