Ballin'

Since we last spoke, specifically about our car, a few things have changed.  We received our ICBC settlement, and they gave us a good deal more than we thought they would. Thank goodness for that!

January 14

We've been very lucky with some wickedly beautiful weather lately.  Very cold and very beautiful, I absolutely love it!  Here are some snapshots of our gorgeous January winter.

January Date Night

January 7

Oh my it's raining.  

A downpour all morning.  

"It's just rain" I told myself as I walked the dog. 

I was very wet.

Now my pants are drying, the floor has been mopped and my fluffy wet dog is napping.  

Adventure?

I can officially say the new year has started off with a bang.  Literally.  A very loud bang.  It all started on Friday evening, at 6pm, while we were sitting on the couch, immersed in an episode of Lost, quietly minding our own business, when we heard a loud bang.  Now we live on the backside of a house in the basement, so we figured the noise was from upstairs, them having children and all.  Five minutes later there is a knock at our door and our landlady is telling us that our car was just smashed by a van that took off.  We flew out the door to see the damage and were horrified to see our car sitting 90 degrees from where we parked it with the front quarter smashed in and the axel bent.

Right Now: January 3

Happy New Year!!

We spent a quiet night at home drinking Stiegl and watching LOST.  We almost didn't make it to midnight, but we woke up enough to kiss and fall into bed.  Early this morning I dragged Shane on a 5 km run (his first!), I was so proud of him!  His tips frosted in the -2 degrees, but we had a wonderful run.  I have two goals for the new year, briefly: more pictures together (we have like 3 from all of 2012!) and adventures, 2013 will be the year of adventures.  So stoked!
