The New Year

Can't believe it is nearing the end of January already, time flies when were having fun! Life has been extremely chaotic around our house this past month since we added Emmet to our family; a great addition but he is one puppy who needs a lot of attention! He is doing very good on the potty training and is starting to understand that he needs to let us know when he needs to go outside...right now he does this buy going to the back door and laying on the rug; only problem with that is that we could be downstairs for an hour and he will have been laying at the back door for 30 minutes. At least he is starting to get the hang of it though, and he holds it all night long which is great! Emmet is growing like a weed and now ways over 20 pounds which is hard to believe but he is doing great!

Lots of news on the adult side: Liz is back to school full-time and acting as a nanny for a local family who is expecting at the beginning of March! Hans has been extremely busy at work, and currently taking a course through Hormel for 12 weeks by the Dale Carnegie foundation! The best news in the past 30 days would be: WE ARE GOING ON OUR HONEYMOON!

Yes, you read correctly we are finally going on our honeymoon and we couldn't be happier. We are leaving March 6th and heading to the Bahamas/Eastern Caribbean for 8 days and 7 nights! We are traveling on the Carnival Liberty and have many shore excursions planned such as snorkeling, zip lining through the Puerto Rican rain forest and lots of food on the ship! In fact there is 24 hour pizzeria, ice-cream/dessert buffet, and a regular 24 hour buffet! As we travel, hopefully we will be able to post and keep everybody updated as well as maybe some pictures. Oh we are also going kayaking, a shoreline sunset cruise in the Virgin Islands (all you can drink free rum punch), and many other fun exciting activities!

The weather has been extremely nasty up here, in fact yesterday Liz tried to make it to her evening class, but had to turn around and on her way back the car behind her ended up in the ditch...good thing she turned around! So far today there has only been freezing rain and sleet, but suppose to get even worse this weekend!

Well, that is it for now! We will post over the next 44 days about preparing for our wonderful vacation! Take Care! Stay warm and safe this weekend!
