Whoa, Time Speeds By

It's November already? We are so sorry for how long it's been without any new posts! Life has been so crazy, we've hardly had time to breathe!

So, what's new with us? Well, at the beginning of October, we attended Frank's brother Yori's wedding. It was also the baptism of our little niece, Tea. The wedding was in Calgary, so almost all of the clan was there. On the way there, we managed to drive through a crazy snowstorm with bald all-seasons on, it was nuts.

On the house front, things are progressing quickly, and it's starting to actually feel like a house! Since the last time we updated, we completely insulated the house, vapor barriered the whole thing, finished all the electrical and plumbing, had a (really stupid and expensive) crew of guys come in to do our drywall, Sharon's dad spent over a week painting, we installed tile in the bathroom and are almost done in the kitchen/dining room - still a little bit of grouting to do, we've had a proper garage door installed on our garage so we can actually park our car in there, we've blown insulation into all our attic spaces (that was a messy job!), and we've started building our kitchen cabinets. We get tired just thinking about it all... We will post pictures ASAP, 'cause a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

The bad news is that we were broken into last Thursday. They took all our DVDs, a DVD player that didn't work (we laughed at them for that), and Sharon's camera. They must have been pretty stupid, considering we have huge security stickers everywhere, but they were probably in and out in a few minutes. They kicked our back door in, so we have to replace that. The insurance company is being really good to us, so we're lucky that way. And at least they didn't trash the place or steal anything we'd really miss (like the computer that hasn't been backed up in months). It's really unsettling, though, because it feels like an invasion of our privacy.

On a happier note, we are offically going to Mexico this Christmas with Sharon's family! Almost 2.5 weeks of nothing but sun and beaches! We are staying in a RV park near Guymas, Mexico (which is in the northern mainland part of the country). It should be great.

We promise to update more in the future...
