So I'm just posting because I told myself I would do this more and since the hubby is sleeping in, I figured it's a good time. We had a great Christmas! Just us in the morning opening a few gifts sent in from the families and then we had a couple of kids I babysit over to open their presents (their dad didn't buy a tree or do much at all so I offered) It turned out crazy, all the neighbours and friends of the family were bringing over gifts for the kids, the community dropped off some donations. After everything was set up they probably had 30 things to open between the 2 of them! And they are only 2 years old and 16 months! It was fun though, priceless to watch the baby figure out how it worked. He kept trying to peek in the presents as soon as he ripped a corner up! Once we were done with presents they all left to go have dinner at another families house and we cooked an amazing meal together, grilled ribeye steaks with red peppers, onions, and mushrooms, double stuffed potatoes, green bean casserole, and sweet rolls. I also baked mini-pumpkin pies for dessert. It was lovely and then we just hung out watching Supernatural DVD's. It's pretty much all we've been doing this holiday. We're onto episode 6 of season 2 I think, and it's official.... hubby is OBSESSED now too!

This is hilarious to me now for many reasons. I posted way back when that my husband is a freaking clone to Jensen Ackles, and he is well aware of my undying lust for the star and usually acts all grumpy and fake jealous when I talk about Supernatural or JA. He HATES all things not 'logical' so he thinks it's ridiculous that the show is about monsters and he usually points out all the things wrong with the scopes they are using, the way they clear rooms, the way ammo works on the monsters... (he is an incredibly talented soldier in the ARMY that is qualified on most weapons systems) but now we get 5 minutes with nothing to do and he's saying 'put in another episode please' It's adorable and makes me happy. The best part is that I get to sit in wonder about how much the boys I love ARE identical in every way since usually about 3 seconds before Dean makes a remark on the show Casey has said the same thing. Or he makes the same face. It's frightening really but totally awesome. I laugh at the most ridiculous times in the show because of something Casey says or does.. it's brought a whole new level of entertainment to me.

I have been reading all your Christmas posts, looks like everyone had a great time and got what they wanted (or hit the after sales to get the things they didn't) I miss living back at home for those. It's hard to get crazy about it when it's all online shopping. Oh well, probably saved us some money!

I'm so glad you guys had a nice holiday, we're heading off to the mountains for our 6 month anniversary/ New Year/ finally a honeymoon vacation and I'm soooo excited! Have a wonderful New Year and I'll see ya all in 2008!

Hey all!!

Well thanks to the prodding from both Jenah and Destany, I have decided to come out of hiding and start posting about my *exciting* life in Germany. I'm surprised I even have any online friends left but thanks so much for sticking in there people!

Updates, well I have my new house here all set up on the ARMY base my husband works at. We lucked out entirely there, most people are having to rent out in the economy right now, there is a such a shortage of housing. I just happened to walk in an hour after a man lost possession of his apartment so I got it! We probably could have had a duplex or a full home to ourselves paid for by the ARMY out in the towns around us but it's worth not having to deal with bills or security gates being on post in our little two bedroom. We also lucked out that a furniture expo was in town the weekend we took possession so we maxed out our new Military credit card (10% off) and got a new living room couch, love seat, and entertainment center, and a new bedroom set all for a very reasonable price! The rest of our furniture is on loan from the base but it matches nicely and my little nest is coming together. I think I even have all the start-up groceries (spices, flour, cleaning products) now and we're down to just feeding us. Here are some pictures of my house and furniture...


As for the life here in Germany it's a lot like Canada so I'm used to it. These boys (including my desert born husband) are not! Poor babies, they've been out working in the field so much the past two months I go days without seeing Casey and he's out doing exercises in the snow! I'll have to post some pictures of the beautiful snow covered landscape now too. In the fall it looked like this right behind my house where I went walking everyday....
