Dear blog

And to any one who still reads it,

Forgive me for neglecting you lately. i promise it wasn't intentional. i'll do my best to make it up to you though.

We officially disconnected our internet services from our home due to a current state of flux... waiting for stay permits, thinking about moving to another apartment, transitioning out of one season and into another, changing work schedules, changing school schedules, friends traveling, unstable diets, etc, etc. i'll spare the details, but needless to say, perhaps this has resulted in a writer's block.

My roomie and i have been blessed though recently with a very special dvd that we've spent the past few mornings singing and dancing along with as we wake up and start our days. oh how glorious.

This past week we accidentally caught an alligator size gecko and its baby in our mouse trap. we had practically given up hope catching anything, but then were just demoralized that our rat outsmarted us and used the poor gecks as decoys. last night i found the little pests though, two of them, big enough to resemble splinter from teenage mutant ninja turtles. we rumbled a bit in the kitchen. i had to call for back up. but unfortunately j wasn't there in time. we're devising a new plan today, involving a flank around the sink to back them into the valley of our patio door.

We're not going crazy just yet, i promise. you'll know when we do.

Present needs:
Faith, love, hope.

Present certainties and thanks:
There is a fountain,
And it's making a big family.

Peace be.
