Hello Again!

Ah, hello my friends! It is good to be blogging again.

For the last two days, i have been wanting to post here and talk with you, but have been unable to. Finally, in my frustration, I composed an email to the support team for this website, describing the dilemna I have been having, and asking for their assistance. 30 seconds after sending off the email, i figured out the problem by myself. Perhaps God told me the answer, as I had been stumped for days. Anyways, low and behold, I pressed one button on my computer, and, ta-da, I am back blogging.

So, ofthand, i do not remember when I blogged last. So, I am not sure how much I have to catch up on, how far back i need to go.

Christmas 2007 was pretty decent. We kept it low-key, just the three of us and my in-laws, sitting around for about three hours opening gifts around the tree, taking lots of photographs. Good times were had by all. Followed, of course, by the traditional scrumptous turkey dinner. Yum! I was a glutton, and ate two huge helpings, and then passed out on the couch.

The days immediately after Christmas, R and I spent shopping. We bought some new Christmas ornaments, including our very first nativity scene.

New Years's Eve was an experiment, and it went partially okay. R and I went out for dinner at a local pub, and had a fantastic meal. Then we paid too much money for tickets to a dance that we did not really enjoy, and left after an hour or so. R was feeling nauseous and dizzy, and i just wasn't digging the music too much. So, we went back home, hooked back up briefly with my in-laws (who had been taking care of C for us), and I crashed and hit the sack by 11pm; didn't even get to see the new calendar year start!

A couple of days ago, we went to Kelowna, where we bought some snowshoes for the three of us. We were supposed to hook up with my parents, but Dad was sick-feeling, so we had to put that on hold. We did, however, pick up K and spend a few hours with her We ended up taking the girls to Scandia to play mini-golf. We thought it would be fun, but pretty much all of us ended up not-liking the experience.

So, on Friday we went up to a large cross-country ski area about a kilometer from a local ski resort. There, we spent a few hours as a family, learning to snowshoe. We actually found it to be quite enjoyable, once we figured out how to put the snowshoes together and get them on our feet! It was great weather, both for driving there and for snowshoeing. After that, we took our very first visit to the already-mentioned ski resort, where we took in the ski village and had a bite to eat.

I just recently came off of five days off in a row. Sunday was my first day back at work, and my first supervisor shift where i worked from 6pm-2am. It is an odd shift, but i did not mind too much. Things are going well at work.

R and C are back at work/school today, first day back after Christmas vacation.

That's all i can think to write for now.

Slainte!
