Happy Thanksgiving!

Our super-cute yet attention-starved furry friends

Well by this point we haven’t updated this blog in SO long that you’ve all probably stopped checking back and no one will read this entry. But we will update is anyway none the less. There is hope that we may be able to ditch AOL for DSL very soon! We may even have it in our apartment which would make blogging much easier!!!

So I have no idea were we last left things, so I’ll start from today and work backwords. This was our first weekend at home all month so we were pretty excited to stay put for thanksgiving. Lando cooked a turkey, which was fantastic (mom – he loves being up to his elbows in turkey so you should plan to do Thanksgiving with us next year!), Kevin and Priscilla cooked some pies and we topped the whole evening off with watching Curious George!

The next day, for the first (AND LAST) time in my life, we got up at 5am to do some Black Friday shopping. The computer in our office was stolen (along with some other stuff) so we REALLY needed a new one. Circuit City had the best deal and we waited in line outside the store, then inside the store, then Lando left to do some other shopping, came back and I was still in line, but WE GOT IT!

Today we decorated for Christmas… it’s about the only free time we are going to have until we get back from our CRUISE!!! That’s right, we are homesick for St. Thomas, so we are going back on an Eastern Caribbean cruise! Living on camp it can be kind of hard to REALLY take time off, so we are excited for this much needed break.

Having said that however, last weekend we were staffing a junior high gathering at Disneyland! Pretty rough, eh?

We will be heading to AZ to spend X-mas with my family there. In February we will be heading to the Midwest for a summer staff recruiting some trip and some vacation time to visit Lando’s family.

I just realized this year is going to be my 10 year-high-school re-union, which I have little interest in actually attending, but I’, freaking out that it’s been 10 WHOLE YEARS!!!!

Other random thoughts... we were in Gettysburg, PA for the annual Outdoor Ministries conference in October which was great! We got to see a lot of people we haven't seen in over a year and reconnect with them. It was cool being at the conference in a "director" capacity... we just had a whole new approach to things. We got to see Jamie and Olivia which was great (Olivia is embarking on one of the most depressing careers in the world, but she is going to be the BEST death counselor in the world!). Then we went to New York City for three days! Anthony on a whim decided to drive us there which was great cuz we got more time. We saw some shows, hung out with my brother and Beth which was great.... good times all around. Then we had a direct flight back into Ontario - jet blue is the greatest!

Okay that’s all I’ve got for now. I’m hoping to do X-mas cards this year, we’ll see how that goes…. Until next time! (which we will really try to make that before next year!)
