It was so nice to have three days off in a row. David went to Harrisonburg to visit family and friends. I stayed in Philadelphia and enjoyed doing things here. Then we had an extra day to catch up on things around the house. Luxury!!
In other news, we are looking for a new home for Ashes. She is very affectionate to us, but she doesn’t get along with Chloe and it doesn’t seem like it will improve. I think she could be much happier somewhere else. Let us know if you have any ideas!

My friend Becca visited last week and in her honor, we placed the finishing touches on the guest room. She and I performed in Comedy Sportz over the weekend and a ton of people we know came - it was great! I also survived my first game as captain.
Upcoming events include lots of work on the basement before our Superbowl party. When we finish, it will hopefully feel cozy and comfortable down there. Yay for home improvements!

We had the privilege of spending time with both of our families in Florida. The first half was in Orlando with my Roth family and the second half was with David’s family and grandmother in Winterhaven. It was nice to have some warm weather and great company! Check out the pictures.

It’s around this time of year that we are especially grateful for the University closing between Christmas and New Year’s. It is definitely time for a break and we are ready to relax.
Best wishes for a safe, fun and meaningful Christmas-time!

Today we had some of the Brubaker clan over for a housewarming get together. David’s cousin Sara who lives in San Francisco surprised us by showing up as a guest as well! It was another good excuse to clean and finish some other little projects around the house. Click here for some pictures…

As a friend pointed out, this site is falling behind - it’s not Halloween anymore. In fact, we’ve already had another major holiday. Time is going too fast! Here are a few photos from our relaxing Thanksgiving vacation in Lancaster.

We have been delinquent in getting the pictures from our Halloween up here. Some of you have already seen them on Facebook, but I’m sure the rest of you would like to laugh at us too.
We went to Laura and Jeremy Brubaker’s house for a little shindig. Olivia went as Mary-Kate Olsen and I went as Kevin Federline (aka k-fed). For those of you who are wondering who these people are: Mary-Kate and K-Fed. All the incriminating evidence here.

This afternoon we had people from my side of the family over for snacks and tours of our house. It was really fun to have lots of family there! No one had been to our house before except my uncle Mark. Here are some pictures…

The barrier between the two cats has been opened. They mostly stay on “their side” of the house, but the line between their territories is starting to blur. Ashes and Chloe mostly ignore each other, but when they face off it is ears back batting-time. Luckily, the hissing has definitely subsided. We are told by the experts to be patient, so we will keep holding out hope that the two can be friends.
Meanwhile, progress on the house continues slowly. We have a blue front door and lots of new smoke detectors. Our long list is slowly dwindling.
I hope everyone has a great week!

We have a new cat! Our friend Sallie needed a home for her cat, Ashes, so she brought Chloe’s new sister to our house on Friday night. Ashes is a gray calico who is very affectionate, but doesn’t like to be picked up. She and Chloe have been separated and so far have hissed at each other under the door. All of the cat literature we can find says to introduce two cats very slowly, so we’ll probably continue to keep them separate for awhile. But hopefully they’ll eventually reach a point where they can happily hang out! Some pics of the cats (plus a print I got at a garage sale this weekend…)
