We got a kitten.

We never thought we'd be able to have a cat because of DH's allergies, but a cousin of his, who is a vet, suggested a Siberian cat and told us about the breeder from whom she'd adopted her Siberian. We now have ten pounds of fluffy id.
We left the synagogue where we've been members for ten years. DH served as a board member for eight of those years, and I was the only webmaster they've ever had who actually has a clue. This was for political reasons - I won't bore you with the details, but suffice to say the synagogue is hemorrhaging families. BUT, we think we've found a new synagogue to join.
Our job situation is the same, and that's a good thing in and of itself, in this economy.
DH's great-uncle passed away early this year. DH's grandmother has been in and out of the hospital and we think she is not long for this world.
Best of all, MY IN-LAWS MOVED TO FLORIDA!!!!!

THEY ARE NOW 1300 MILES AWAY INSTEAD OF 25 MILES AWAY!!!!!
