Happy New Year!

Kathleen is back at work this week, and John is getting ready to start teaching next week, and we both realized this morning that we had been blog-delinquent over the holidays. :) So welcome to the 2007 edition!

The wedding to do list this month is long, and includes things like fabric shopping (bridesmaid dresses and a veil), invitation materials, the start of the tuxedo search, hopefully some engagement pictures, and firming up some reception details. It's all work we're looking forward to doing, but we are aware that the 184 (!) days between now and July 7th will fly by quickly.

We had a wonderful holiday break, full of relaxation and lots of good friends and family. Our house has officially been warmed, as of our December 28th party. We were fortunate to have many of the people who sing in Ensemble de la Rue here to help us celebrate. And it was only one of a few parties we attended! Boxing Day dinner shared between our house and Adam and Shelly's was very enjoyable (the home-made Christmas crackers were fabulous) and may just have to become an annual tradition. The concert on New Year's Eve was a great success and was followed by ringing in the new year downtown. We also enjoyed a bounteous de la Rue brunch on New Year's Day (2nd annual!) and finished off the week at a traditional Swiss raclette (yum). We are now raclette owners.

And in the midst of all of that, we spent some good quality time together, and actually FINISHED UNPACKING. HUZZAH! (the hit!)
