We've been doing some minor home improvements of late: fixing a leak (which turned out to be 5) in the basement, adding the lovely chandelier (pictured), moving some bathroom mirrors around, buying a bench and BBQ for outside.. just the usual. Now that all the small renovations are out of the way, I'm starting to think of bigger ones. Paint and wallpaper, tiles and such.
In other news, other news... the VZ family reunion is in two weeks (my mom's side of the family) in Saskatoon and we're going to that. I'm really looking forward to a week off - hooray summer vacation! Perhaps we should start planning the trip. You know, how long we stay where, who we visit, how much junk food we eat...
All is normal, nothing too too exciting. Ciao!

Much ado about nothing
We're definitely settling in.
We've had a lot of fun house projects: painting the deck, getting a barbecute and freezer, installing solar garden lights to luminate the sidewalk to the back (side, as Jeremie insists) door, installing a chandelier, moving a mirror, and just generally making the place our own. It's good. I have big fun dreams for my office decorating!
As far as a church goes, I like the one about 2 blocks from our house so far - they're friendly and I like having a church in our community. So we'll see how that pans out - they're still looking for a new pastor, so we'll have to see what he (or she?) is like.
My work is going alright - some days are more fun than others, but isn't that always the way of it? The upsides to working at home: eating from the fridge, reading or watching tv, playing computer games on lunch break. No commute! The downsides: I don't see people all day, and tend to be a bit more chatty when Jeremie comes home. Poor man. Plus everything is just a bit more work.
We're hosting a thing for the people from jeremie's work: ladies get a Mary Kay makeover and photoshoot while the men do manly things in the yard like barbecue and sports of some sort. Here's to hoping it works out well!
Fatigue is setting in, so perhaps I'll blog more another day. And runescape calls.
