Glad January is HERE!

Ok, I don't know about the rest of you...

I am THRILLED to see the back of December 2005!

One bad moment after another including driving home from Christmas in Show Low Arizona with the flu! Not alot of bathrooms on that route through the desert!

My suggestion: Don't have the flu if you're far from a loo!

So January is here and Maarten and I are outlining our goals for the first quarter. Today was actually a big deal for us.

Maarty had is final interview and test for US citizenship. Dual of course. None the less it went well. He got 100% on the test. He studied quite a bit. Good thing too... how many of you know who said, Give me liberty or give me death? Patrick Henry of course. Luckily I had drilled him on that question the night before and he remembered it.

A lot of things that we had originally planned for this year are now on hold. We have decided to make some major shifts in the direction we are going and we believe the change in direction will offer some new and exciting options for us. Stay tuned to see what turns up!

And a special note to my sweetest friend Donnie. I send you love always and hugs forever. I'm so so sorry about Miss Mint and her tragic fall from the 8th floor balcony. She was a beautiful kitty and I can only hope she is reigning in Katnip Heaven as only she can.

Heres to a wonderful joyous and fun 2006 to all we know and all we don't.
