The Old Apartment...




















Friday night was the last time I will really be at my old apartment. We spent a couple hours repainting the bedroom, cleaning up and packing the last few things into the car to bring to Alain's. I am thankful that I won't have to ride in that dang slow elevator anymore, and even thought I absolutely love living here with Alain, I have to admit I was a little sad to see the whole place empty...



Here is the best sad face I could muster for the camera...


















and here is the last carload full of my stuff, to be crammed SOMEWHERE into Alain's house. We're really happy the whole move is over. I have to drop my keys off tomorrow, and that'll be it.















I'll post some photos of Alain's (and my) house as soon as we get all my stuff settled...

As some of you might know, Alain's house is quite a zoo! We have 4 cats (Pumpkin, Zulu, Sam and Nina) and a dog (Kelly). We love them to bits and have a lot of fun with them, but, there's always trouble when you leave the bedroom door open!


This is what tends to happen.....
















Yep, that's right... In less than 5 minutes you're totally swarmed with furry friends just dying for a snuggle. Sounds cute, sounds fun, well, try getting a good nap in when you can't move a muscle without disrupting someone. There are only 3 pets in this photograph, Pumpkin is generally still in hiding and Nina must have been off on an adventure.

Ah, life at the zoo....

Pumpkin Carving!

Alain and I carved pumpkins this year to put out on the front porch.
I think they both turned out great, although very different.
I hadn't carved a pumpkin in probably 10 years (or more) but we both had a great time.
We even went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our own pumpkins (no grocery store pumpkins for us!).

We're really trying to learn more about where our food comes from, so whenever possible we like to go right to the source. It's generally a whole lot cheaper than the grocery store, and its fun too. I don't think people are very aware of where their food comes from anymore, which is really sad to me.

I know its been a seriously long time since my last post.. Not too much has been going on to be honest... I moved, well, I'm still moving, so that has been busy, plus I'm crazy with school trying to finish my thesis in the next two weeks. I'll try to do better so keep checking back.
