Not tons and tons has happened since the last update. Mostly all weather related. We have had a couple of really good wind and rain storms and a big snowfall. We ended up with about a foot and a half when the snow stopped falling. My car stayed in the garage for a couple of days and I took the bus to and from work.

We have been busy trying to plan Christmas as we are hosting it this year. Mary and I got to do the annual Christmas Movie Marathon last weekend which helped get me into the Christmas spirit a little bit more. I bought the turkey yesterday and finialized the presents. We decided that we really can't afford much this year so we are doing the dinner and just little gifts for everyone.

J has still been struggling with her addiction and has "fallen off the wagon" a couple of times. It is very frustrating but at least she is not trying to hide it from us anymore and is really quite open to discussing it and does reach out to me when she needs help. I have lost count of the number of times that she will phone me at work and just say the words - I need to have a drink. I usually just listen to her and then meet her after work and don't leave her alone until I know that her boyfriend is home. I have been spending a lot of time and money at Starbucks lately!!

My dad called last weekend to tell us that he has booked our trip to Mexico in May. It sounds like the place that we are going to be staying at is really nice. We are going to be leaving the 3rd week in May. Now I just have to find someone to look after the cats! We are also going to be going up to Prince Rupert in May as well for Paul's Aunts 70th birthday. It will be really nice to see all of the family up there and we are going to be the big surprise for her as she thinks that we can't make it.

Well that is all I can think of right now - I will wright again when I have a spare second. Hopefully before the end of the year!
