Wow it's been busy!! 'Tis the holiday season once again!! =)
We are now all moved into our new apartment and settled in, it is beautiful! pictures soon.
We had such a great thanksgiving, Tim and I went over to our friend Lindo's apartment along with 30-40 other people from the same platoon. We made it into a potluck and everyone that had access to a stove brought food. I made the mashed potatoes/gravy, and pumpkin pies, and cherry cheesecake. yum! There was sooo much food it was crazy! I think there were like 2 turkeys, 2 hams, and 1 duck. (first time I tried duck) There was just a ton of food! We all stayed there pretty much the whole day eating away and playing card games. Tim and I had to go gome a couple hours to take a nap, we were so full it made us tired! Then we went back! haha
It's gotten extremely cold here the last few weeks, it actually snowed last night but didn't really stick. No one has yards here so the only place it has to stick is roofs or roads and all the traffic turned it into slush. Tim had to ride home from work on his bike in the slush, he said that was deffinetly an adventure. It's hard enough to keep from geting hit because drivers here don't care about hitting pedestrians, tim's been cut off on his bike once already.
Christmas is coming! we are soo excited! Our first christmas together. =) We put the tree up the day after thanksgiving and decorated. I have the nativity set Grandma gave me displayed on our coffee table. I always enjoyed decorating for christmas, it's kinda my thing. =) Tim was very proud to put his "The Simpsons" ornaments up on the tree.
Everything has been very busy, and it's so hard to get to the library to be able to post anything so I would not be suprised if I don't return before christmas, so happy holidays to all!!
Love,
Ruthy
