Last weekend, David’s cousin Alex got married to Michelle in New Cumberland, PA. It was fun to dress up and celebrate with them. They live in Lancaster, so we should have lots of chances to get to know Michelle.
Also, David’s grandma Kathleen Benner visited and we spent some time with her. It was lovely to take an extra day off from work and we got to see David’s aunt Linda too!

I stumbled across a website called wordle.net in which you can enter some text or a whole website and it makes a composite of the content. The frequency of words are represented by size. Here is davidandolivia.com:
I’m not sure if these words are taken from the front page of this website or from all of the archived content as well. But as I look at it, I feel grateful that these are the happy things that generally make up our days. When so many people around the world suffer every day, it would be easy to get paralyzed by guilt. I hope instead that we will take action: that we will fight for justice and serve as a force of good in the world so that peace and joy may spread far and wide.

Hello fans!
We finally have our camera & I have a ton of pictures to share. Some of them are from David’s 28th birthday which we celebrated in Lancaster. But most of them are from this weekend - it was a fun whirlwind! Anika visited and helped us get ready for our Survivor party on Saturday night. It was a lot of work to put together but very rewarding. On Sunday we spent lots of quality time with relatives.

I moved all of our stuff into the new kitchen this weekend. The house is now mostly clean and organized! It’s such a good feeling!!
Our camera is still in Lancaster, but we’ll get it back next weekend. Then I will have tons of pictures to add (David’s birthday, more kitchen, weekend activities, etc).

We have a kitchen! The stove & refrigerator are working and the dishwasher, sink & garbage disposal should be functional by tomorrow night.
It looks pretty different than when we bought the house, eh? Once we move in some of our stuff and get the final touches added, I will put up some nice comparison pictures.
Yay!

More is going on in our lives than just the kitchen (like David’s birthday!), but unfortunately it appears as though we left the camera in Lancaster. Luckily, David’s phone has a pretty good camera on it (though no flash). Therefore I bring you: the dining room! It has degenerated massively from the nice organized “before” pictures. Ah well.
As for the kitchen, it is an empty shell. It now has new windows & just needs flooring, paint & cabinets etc. So we are hoping it will be usable by this weekend!!!!

Not a lot new for this week. One of the walls has new drywall. Supposedly this is the week of big changes. We can’t wait! Food options have been: rice, soup or going out to eat. We’re ready to have a kitchen again!
