Dylan and I have been wanting to get this blog started for a long time, and we finally did it the other day! It'll be fun to share what's going on in our life with you in this way...
Besides our weekly schedule of book group on Mondays, relaxing on Tues/Thursdays, volunteering at the Lampost coffee shop on Wednesdays, and having weekends full of friends, here's the latest on us:
Dylan's newest adventure has been learning to brew his own beer. His dad did this when Dylan was growing up, so it's been a dream of his to try it himself one day. His friend (and our upstairs neighbor), Forrest, has been joining in on the fun. It's a long process-- I think it'll be about 3 weeks until he gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor-- but he seems to love the process just as much as the end result.
Dylan's continuing to enjoy his job... he's even been a bit bored some days! This week they gave him his own business cards!
I've been really thankful for a couple of slightly quieter weeks school-wise. I think it's probably because we're gearing up for final craziness, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts! The main piece of "homework" I had for this weekend was to figure out what classes to take in the Spring (I can't believe it's that time already!!). I'm trying my best to see if I can finagle my class schedule for the last couple semesters so that I can graduate next December and be able to save us the money of taking another semester of classes...it's can be a pretty in-depth and frustrating process though! We'll see if it works... if not, we'll get by just fine.
And Murray, well... he's a kitten that seems to be going through his terrible two's. :D We adore him and his cuddilyness, but he's found a few more ways to be naughty lately.... including shredding the toilet paper, destroying my ponytailer, eating used cotton squares from the garbage, biting a little to hard (he doesn't realize when he's playing that his little kitten teeth are SHARP!), and he also really likes using those claws of his... pretty soon it'll be time to get him de-clawed and fixed, and so I'm sure that will help. It's hard to stay too mad at him, though... his little face and purr are just too cute!
Well, my stomach has started growling and I see that that's about right because it's dinner time! I'm going to enjoy some leftover chili that we made yesterday...tasty!
Love to all!
Dana
