Christmas already

How did this happen?
When did I forget about the blog? Or rather we?

I really don't know. Maybe it was too much work or lack of interest - but I thought it was about thime to come back.

2007 has been a wierd year for me.

My Dad really sick - J with a new job ( yes, see we did not even blog about this ) - me loving my job ( still, I know it is crazy. 10 year anniversary for being in the same department this 1 Jan 2008 ).

And now it is Christmas - well almost. It is cold outside - like -4°C or about 25°F and technically today is the last day of Fall - go figure I don't even want to think about HOW cold this winter is going to be. We were extremely fortunate last winter being very mild and very pleasant - I believe we will have a very cold winter.

Thankfully J and I have been able to recharge our batteries during a 10 day mini-vacation in Florida visiting our dear friends S&C. We got sun, some tan, and shopped a lot @ 1.47 USD per EUR it wasn't difficult

Look what I found on the beach in Fort Lauderdale - looks wierd does it not?

Anyway before Florida we had a wonderful time in Portugal again - that was in September - and basically with the exception of J's new job nothing much has been happening in our lifes - at least nothing to jap about.

At least a bit - right?

Merry Christmas to everyone and may 2008 be better than ever.
