update...

hey all!  we have been housesitting in lovely la mirada for our friends this past week.  it was so nice to have the week to spend in our own space.  hart is coming along pretty well and we even got a new bedroom window (didn't know that was in the plan!) the new carpet goes in this week and if it were not for the fire alarm system, we could conceivably move back in next week...but... alas...we must wait.  

this week our aunt leanne from back east (ed's sister) is visiting and we just had a SPREAD of homemade chinese food!!  fyi...ryan (if you don't know this) is 1/2 chinese (his dad, ed, is 100% chinese) so it was soooo great to have all the yummy food they made and we get to see the relatives up in LA this tuesday, so more great chinese food!

i have LOVED not being in school and we look forward to enjoying this final week of ryan's vacation.  he goes back to work on the 22nd.  

i know there is more to update you on...oh...the little buttons on the side of my blog now-i will start labeling my posts so then you can go right to something you remember reading about or if you need an idea for a date or food, check out the posts.  if you want an idea, just write me with questions and i'll post the idea in that section for all to reference.  we all need a little inspiration from our friends!
