Slacker

Wow okay yes it has almost been a full year since I last blogged! I am SUCH a slacker heh.
Its been a very busy year...last I blogged we were living in a rental in Mira Mesa which we HATED! In March of 07 we actually bought our first home up in the hills of San Marcos.
We love our new home and I cant believe it has almost been a year since we moved in.
I took a few days to painting the bedrooms so we could move in and not have to deal with moving
the furniture around before painting. The My MIL Jackie, helped me paint the kitchen and living room. We then moved in a couple days later.
I have also started a garden..I have Tomatoes, Oranges, Strawberries and a few essential herbs and various flowers. I have always liked the idea of a garden...a small garden and I am liking the benefits of a fruitful garden!
I have met most of the neighbors, at least all of the ones that live next to me or around me..one neighbor in particular I have gotten to know very well. Her name is Michele, She lives with her boyfriend of a few years Shaun. Both very nice people. I walk her dogs Benji and Sandy in return they make me or take me out for dinner once a week while Chris is at Karate or Game night with the guys.

In August Juliet came to stay with us for a couple days and she brought along little Jax
it was fun having her over and Jaxon was just a doll. It was funny to see the cats reaction to
a baby in the house. Toby and Dolly knew better and hide most of the time while poor pierre submitted himself to the all ear and tale grabbing without complaints. While they were here we
went to the Del Mar Races and chili cook off..that was fun..Jaxon seemed to like all the horses.
Unfortunately their stay was short but sweet. I miss them so much:-(

We once again spent Thanksgiving in Arizona with my family and had a wonderful time..its always hard to say goodbye to those you love and miss.
Christmas was at our house this year and Chris made a fabulous roast beast dinner..there were rave reviews! hehe
We also bought a HUGE Christmas tree...it was beautiful and smelled so good.

We spent New years Eve with Shaun and Michele..we had Crab legs and mimosa's YUM!
My first experience with crab legs mind you so it was interesting to say the least!

I believe that is all the news for now..I will try to keep this updated more often.
