Well, it's been two months since I last posted. This house has kept us pretty busy and tired. But it's coming along! And of course we have to watch the Olympics every night! Of course...

Work has been very busy! Our company keeps growing and hiring new staff is something that lags behind a lot. No real complaints though. I take the commuter train to work now that we live 2 blocks from the station. I am blissful at how much better my commute is now than before... The commuter train is above ground and goes through a big wooded part of Toronto that I guess is protected because it's quite convincing that you've entered the wilderness. I can stare out the window, or read a book, or do my makeup if I'm running late, or take a nap with my mouth hanging open, and wake up to the passengers across from me looking slightly embarrassed.

I guess I'd better go take some pictures of the house and garden as the look now. I'll post them right away. *cough*

We bought a house!

It's a semi-detached. I call it half a house.
Our lovely back yard. This was taken on our first trip to check it out.
Finally, a vegetable garden.
I think I look quite flexible here.
Garden photos, in no particular order. My sister came, we had a great weekend.
Back at the apartment I had started a few seedlings.
Random instertion- our one year anniversary, and the flowers Pete got me.



We closed and got the key on our first wedding anniversary! We'll be moving in by the end of the month, Lord willing. Right now we are waist-deep in renovations. We spend hours upon hours inside Home Depot and Rona... trying to find what we want amongst mind-boggling options. It's hard to pick up one tile and know how it would look all over a room. However, we've made many choices, and the tiles are going in. Last weekend was spent in the garden with my sis and hubby. Ahh... my glorious vegetable garden. It's tantalizing because we still live a good 30-45 min away from it (in traffic), so I only get out there on weekends. But it's not like I need to water. The weather took notice of my poor neglected garden: it's been raining every other day, practically.

we took a trip...

I am taking the Canadian RD exam tomorrow. Somehow, I am pretty apathetic about it. Lately being a dietitian has seemed very wrong and unrewarding. The nagging thought that I wasn't cut out to be one keeps persisting.

just finished watching the movie Grease, which was on tv. only caught bits and pieces, but it does such a great job of getting that feeling across. the feeling of being young and hopeful for what lay ahead, mainly in the realm of boys... but you know? the excitement of falling in love and having someone who takes your breath away.

Our cats have their own way of getting along.

Catalina weighs 7 lbs and Crabman weighs 12. Not really a fair fight! (Yes, we weigh our cats.)
