Moving day...

Although this blog has served us well...it is time to move to our new place...

visit us at : Our New Place

p.s. there won't be posts for a couple of days because blogger thinks I am a computer trying to start a new blog...so until we are approved, enjoy the posts I did get to transfer from my recipe blog "send me good food".

Birthday Celebrations...

The birthday partying started the Saturday before my birthday when we met Grandma and Grandpa as well as Julie and Stan for dinner at Red Lobster. (Julie's birthday was that day) It was a good time with family...and great food!



On my birthday Doug took me out to dinner at a mexican restaurant in town...if I could remember the name I would tell you. It was sooo good, we were stuffed! Then they brought a birthday dessert...it was yummy too!



Me and Doug at my birthday dinner...



The day after my birthday, I had to go to Portland for my three month eye check up, so we made an afternoon of it and went out for dinner AGAIN! We ate at fundruckers and got a yummy lemon merange pie... After dinner we went shopping at Washington Square mall and enjoyed walking the mall together...(the camera batery died at fudruckers so we didn't get that many pictures)



Doug gave me a gift certificate to get my nails done...they were running a special for a 'spa' pedicure that day...so I went for it. I have always been a bit nervous about pedicures but now I am definately a fan...here is the work of art...

New dog and new house...

So here are a couple of pictures to begin the vast updating that I need to do. Here is our new puppy, Dallas. He is a Husky/Malamute and should grow to be about 75-80 pounds. He has already learned how to 'shake' for me and is doing a pretty good job about going to the potty outside....most of the time.



He LOVES the snow...



Here is a picture of part of our driveway. I walk here everyday with the dogs...I thought it was especially pretty with the snow.



Many of you saw a picture of our house covered in snow...well, all the snow melted last week so I got a 'spring' picture. Now we have another layer of snow...but just so you all can get a better idea of what we are living in all thawed out.



Our front door and porch...waiting for visitors!!!



More pictures to come of my birthday celebrations and our house 'updating' that has been going on!

Happy Birthday to me...

SO, I just finished posting my birthday blog and blogger deleted it. SOOOO...to sum up. Pictures will be on their way soon as we will be back online SOON!
We are excited to share picts of our new house...and the changes we have made on our living room walls.
Also, our new puppy, Dallas, is really excited to be posted on ciberspace as well!
More to come soon!

my stagnant blog

I am sorry about the lack of bloggage happening here. We don't have internet at home and don't plan to get it back until after we move...so, no promises about getting back into the swing of thing soon!
We got back from Canada and have been going going going since we got home! Doug has been busy at work...thanks to the many homes that have flood damage from the recent downpour that wouldn't stop. I have been busy packing the house in hopes that our ever impending move will happen sooner than it probably will.
We did take a break the other night and went out to one of our favorite places, Freddy's Just for the Halibut...SOOOO good! We don't get out much anymore so it was a special treat and a great way to celebrate out 8th monthiversary!
Well, my updates seem boring without pictures but alas, I have no control over this unfortunate circumstance! I hope all you internets are doing well and updating better than I am!

Oh Canada...

Happy New Year from British Columbia!!!

The last few days have been packed with fun...and good food! Starting Wednesday night, after Doug got off work we drove north and got to Canada in time to ring in the new year!


Once the new year celebrating settled down, we had Christmas! We got lots of fun gifts:
Doug's fun new jacket...

I got my Christmas pajamas..

For the first day of 2009 we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Taste of Punjab'...



On Friday, we got up and set to the town. We took the Sky Train:

And the Sea Bus:


We saw the sites and enjoyed a great meal at the Spaghetti Factory:



This clock is powered by steam...

back to the library...

So...soon we will be moving...although we have been saying that for a while now. Really, we are going to move...soon. In the process we have disconnected our home phone and our Internet...so I get to go to the lovely Longview library to meet all my internety needs. All that to say...you won't be seeing many posts on here for a while...like maybe a month, or so. Most definitely not any posts with pictures...because they frown on me sticking foreign electronics into there precious computers. Understandable.
Side note: It is kind of a pain to use the computers here, you have to sign up ahead of time and can only use them for a hour each day...this is fine for me but I am glad I am not trying to write a paper or something really important!!!
On a more newsy note, we are going to Canada tomorrow. We are really going this time...because it is just supposed to rain for the rest of this week(and next week, and probably the next)...not snow. I am packing in anticipation.
Well, I think I have had just about as much as I can stand in terms of the Longview public...and the Longview Public Library.
So, see you on the next post!

Happy New Year!!
