New year, new things!

Getting back to normal has been fun. Although in all truth, what is normal? After 2 full weeks back at work, I'm done working there. They really wanted me to continue working, but the exciting upcoming projects beckon! More on the future in the near future.
At Christmas, I received a bounty of wonderful gifts including a whole set of Fiesta wear dishes. CD and I have really enjoyed them so far- it makes me cook in abundance just to dish it out!


We also finally got a new DVD player (thanks Sis) because the old one had been skipping, stopping and generally not playing the discs. The new one is very fancy- just ask CD, he knows about all the cool gadget features!
And just today I received a lovely handmade cowl(?)/neck warmer! It's nice and warm (I love the Icelandic wool and don't mind a little itchy :)


Another new addition to our lives/home are the fruit trees we planted last week. After much discussion and decision-making we narrowed it to: a pear, a plum and an apricot. They are small and cute! CD did most of the work: digging, breaking the layer of concrete under the dirt, measuring, packing the dirt back in while I just held the trunks in place. I know that it will take a couple of years at least, but I'm super excited for this mini-orchard!
