five dogs, two cats and five humans

That's WHO/WHAT is living in our home right now and it's -21 degrees (F) windchill outside - but, we're coexisting quite well!

Whitney went to the store today and brought home this interesting and most delicious POMELO fruit! I had never seen/eaten one before - but, for that matter, neither had they! It's the size of a cantaloupe (you can't tell by this picture) and tastes a little like grapefruit but not as acidic. I don't like grapefruit but, I love this! So refreshing when it's SO cold outside.

So much has happened around here lately - I'm going to have to get caught up - it's just been so crazy around here I haven't really had time to sit down and gather my thoughts about anything! All I could think all the month of December was, "Just get through THIS day!" Then the next day would come and I would 'self-talk' all over again. We got through it!!!!! It was wild, it was crazy.

• We had a GREAT Christmas celebration together. We were missing two families this year - it amazes me how EMPTY it feels when they're not here
• After New Years, we moved Schuyler and Whitney out of their home - job market just not good in their area. They'll be going to school in about three months so it will help them save some mula for their move
• We got everyone situated in our basement and 99% of their belongings are in Heather and Brian's storage unit. So many came to help them - it was an interesting experience trying to move in a snow storm and temps in the single digits - but, we did it
• New Years Eve was spent at Shawn and Kandee's health club - games, racquetball, food, food, food
• We traveled to Utah for Henry's baby blessing - SO GOOD to see our cute family there
• Guitar lessons resumed after a MONTH off - holy cow, that was a nice rest
• I hope to get pictures loaded and caught up soon
• THANKS for being so wonderfully patient with me as I get my life put back together and organized a little better. I've GOT TO WRITE before I start forgetting things from this past month.
