Welcome 2005
January 3rd, 2005Holidays can really be exhausting. Not so much because I didn’t get enough rest, but because there is so much I want to catch up on once I get back home. So even though I returned home well rested I managed to spend a couple of late nights wasting that rest away because of all the things I wanted to do. Anyway, I’m glad to be back home.
2005 promises to hold plenty of excitement for our family. Ian is due to be joining us out in the real world February 9 (but I’m pretty sure he’ll be here well before that). We are looking forward to that with much anticipation and an equal helping of “we don’t have a clue what we’re doing” fear.
We are starting to house hunt too, as our apartment will be kind of cramped for three of us. We are looking for something unique, but it seems to be hard to come by. The great majority of the housing in our area has gone up in just the last ten years. That means that most of the houses seem to come from a relatively small group of cookie cutter designs. We have found one neighborhood we really like (it’s unique and private) - but it seems everybody currently living there really likes it too and isn’t planning on moving out anytime soon. Maybe patience will pay off and something will open up in that neighborhood by July when our lease is up. In the meantime I’ll keep daydreaming about fixing a place up to be our very own.
Anyway, we wish everyone a great 2005.
