Updates and apologies for no updates

OK, I admit it. I'm no 'l33t' blogger. There you have it. It's in bits and bytes for all you to wisely nod your head to. This is long overdue. I know. Get over it. So, what's happened since May of 2006? Where shall I start...probably June 2006. So the Garage Sale went fairly well. We should have advertised better, hopefully that's a lesson I'll remember. We raised $160 or so and are now proud owners of 2 lawnmowers. My dear bass amp went to a new home. Sniff. Time for another Garage Sale, perhaps later this summer, but that'll be another story. We still don't have our little girl, or even a proposal. Sigh. Perhaps late summer or fall of this year we'll have one or both. This means that there are some challenges that we have to work through, some of which will be bigger moves, and some which are smaller. First of all, the bigger moves. From Colwood to Langford, from a 1180 sq.ft. half-duplex to a 2000 sq.ft single-family renovation. We completed the sale earlier this month and are moving in on the 28th. That's in less than 2 weeks. Stay tuned for more information. Some of the smaller moves and challenges we can 'enjoy' are finding a way to get a minivan. This may require the trade-in of our Civic which I must say is the best car I've ever had. Don't mind me if I get all sentimental about it. But I'll cross that bridge when I get there. In the mean time, I'll keep driving the Civic, and see about getting the little Geo to unlock on the drivers side and open from the passenger side. Yes, getting in can be a problem. Maybe I can trade the Geo in? Or anybody wanna buy a Geo? We have passports to sort out, which can be interesting. There are also immunizations and other shots, and figuring out how to pay for the remainder of the adoption. Speaking of paying for the adoption, through the very generous donation from many of you, we've raised over $8000. Thank you all so much.
