Introducing...

I won't even get into why I haven't posted until December 14th! Well, I don't really even have an excuse as to why...so we'll make a fresh start!

If you look to your right, you'll see one of the main sources of blog neglect...her name is Kasey! We finally decided to take the plunge and bring home a puppy, and let me just say that it hasn't been very quiet since! 

I'm actually enjoying a quiet moment right now, with Finn behind me on the chair and Kasey sitting at my feet, snoring away. Not sure if anyone has noticed the reason behind her name...I threw it out as a joke towards Steven when we got her. For all of you Mr. Dressup fans, we now have a Kasey & Finnigan! 

Here are some of our favorite Kasey pics so far...more to come!

Oh Christmas Tree!

Christmas is a few short days away & I think that this is the least that I've ever been ready, ever! We thought we were doing well when we bought our Christmas tree on November 25, little did Steve know that he had to make a fresh cut to the trunk...oops! Last Sunday was spent dragging the old tree outside, cleaning up never-ending needles, and putting up our other (artificial) tree.

So, the new tree is up & I have to say, it looks pretty good! I would like to think it's because of my mad tree decorating skills, but it's really because the cats finally decided to leave it alone this year. Enjoy the pics!

Take A Little Trip With Me!

I'm doing the happy dance...no more city transit for me! Simply put, I got my license today (only took ten years, but whatever)!  Steven is on his way home (shut down, yet again) but it will be nice to celebrate this with him! 

Lessons Learned

The wedding is over, Steven is gone for 3 weeks and I am sitting here twiddling my thumbs. Well, I'm actually typing right now, but you get the idea! It's time to brush off the dust & cobwebs and look at the "to-do" list that I've been pushing aside for the last 6 months or so.  

License to Drive: Yes, it was a popular movie back in the '80's, but that isn't what I'm getting at. At 26, I'm a bit backwards in the fact that I have a car, but no license. My road test is tomorrow (#3 to be exact) so hopefully you'll see me cruising around in my lovely grandma-mobile soon!

Guitar: My fingers hurt, a lot! Hitting the chords aren't as easy as I thought, because I was blessed with short little fingers that don't stretch very far. My goal is to at least play something without having to stop constantly for a break.

Writing: More of it...'nuff said!

There is so much more that I would like to do, but I think that it's best to stick to these 3 for now. My short little fingers are crossed!

Changes

A lot has changed in the Witmer/Senft family in the last week! For starters, I'm now a Senft (you just have to say it quickly without thinking about it)! Our wedding took place in Canmore on September 15, and we couldn't have asked for a better day! We lucked out with awesome 20 degree weather, clear skies and a bit of mountain breeze to keep us comfortable. I can't wait to see how our pro pictures turned out, but the ones below are keeping me satisfied for now.

On September 14, there was another reason to celebrate! Stacey, David & Caleb welcomed Grace Erin Allen into the world at 9:30 a.m. Steve & I were looking over the paperwork for our marriage licence when Dave called me with the news, and of course the waterworks came! The registry agent was looking at me funny until I told her why I was crying (happy tears of course)! Grace is beautiful, we can't wait to watch her grow and explore her new surroundings. A big congrats to the Allen family...we love you all so much!

So, here are a few pictures to highlight the wedding....I'll be posting more as I get them. Enjoy!
