Updates

Well it has been a while since I have updated this so I thought I would fill everyone in on what has been happening in the lives of Paul and Tammi for the past few weeks or so!

We had a wonderful visit with Paul's Aunt and Uncle and the time seemed to fly past on us. I did a lot of cooking and found I really enjoyed it which surprised me (and it was all really good or everyone was being REALLY polite!!). We took them up to Whistler for a day and had lunch, a picnic at Crescent Beach, Vancouver Art Gallery, the Cranberry Festival and to a Vancouver Giants game and had Garth and Mary over for dinner as well. We had a lot of down time and spent much of it just talking and laughing. It was wonderful to spend the time with them and they want to fly us over again next year for as much time as we can spare - about 2 weeks with the other holiday we already have planned. There were many tears shed at the airport when we dropped them off and we miss them like crazy.

We also have a new addition to our family - we have a new kitten (we really are planning on having real children one day in case anyone is wondering and no we are not going to become crazy cat people!!!) Paul was the one that really pushed for this cat just so that everyone is aware of that!! The kitten is 12 weeks old and is a holy terror, I don't think it stops running around - only to eat and poop! It is really cute, orange in color with big blue eyes and in comparison to Lucky is tiny. She is not too impressed with it so far and we are hoping that it will work out so that we can keep both. We have an arrangement with the person we got it from that if it does not work out we can give him back to her. We also need help naming it as right now it is just being called "little cat" and neither of us want that name to stick! So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

This past weekend was spent again with more family, this time it was Paul's mom's family that was down for 5 days. It was really great to see them and hopefully we will see them in May of next year. It is his aunt's 70th birthday on May 11th and they are planning on doing a surpise party for her and another of Paul's aunts is going to use her airmiles to fly Paul and I up to Terrace for the weekend as there is no way we could afford to do so on our own right now and they really want us both to be there for it. I hope that the time works out as Dad and Heather are looking at May for our trip to Mexico.

Work is busy for both Paul and myself and shows no signs of slowing down which is good but I am starting to have to take work home in the evenings as I am so busy during the days.
