Happy 2009! Wow so amazing that another year has gone. We have been vacationing a little this last weekend, over new years and it was a fun little get away. We went to Palm springs to visit Lani and Kurt this weekend had a really fabulous time there. We started out celebrating New Years at their house, from there we got a grand tour of the Palm Desert, including some fun street fairs at which Kurt was working. We also went to Long Beach California and strolled around on the beach, we also visited a friend of Lani's and shared a B-B-Q. Finally on Sunday we went up into the mountains and got to see the colder side of the desert, 3 ft of snow on top of the mountains !

Now it is back to work and getting stuff done.. We still have one bathroom to complete and Alex and Rob made terrific headway getting it started, the tub is actually installed, we still have to tile the walls and floor and install a new toilet and sink and after that is finished we will move the renovations downstairs, to work on new flooring in the kitchen and refinishing the wood floors in the living room and office area. I think there must be light at the end of the tunnel. I have been experimenting with making lentils. I tried making them the other day by sauteeing them and adding water as needed instead of making a soup, this would have worked out great had I remembered I was actually cooking and didn't burn them halfway through, I did manage to salvage the lentils on top, and they were pretty good I hope to make another attempt and actually not burn them. We are also looking to purchase a wirless router since our neighbors have moved out (yeah) we are unable to leach the wirless from them so we must get our own. Once this is done I plan on signing up for some classes again though I wonder what I want to take.... I must got start getting ready for work here are some of the latest pictures
