Has it been over 3 months already?

I realize that the blog has run cold. But I can't be entirely blamed since we aren't really traveling anymore (unless you count going back and forth between the US and Cananda) As you most likely know, Andrew and I have both arrived home - although home for me is not home for him. I am living in Canmore and Andrew is back in Bellevue. We are working on a solution to this little problem and will keep you posted when we finally solve it. For now, we are enjoying the hour long flight and detailed customs questioning.

We spent Christmas together with Andrew's family-there were 15 of us for Christmas dinner...it was a blast. There was an impromptu pageant, delicious food, Andrew's Nepalese sister and of course, plenty of wine! Boxing day (note: I'll explain the origins of this Commonwealth holiday in my next post for all you Americans out there) was spent driving from Seattle to Calgary , a feat which we accomplished in only 13.5 hours! We arrived in Calgary just in time to surprise my family for dinner. I could see the little wheels in my mom's head turning as she realized that she didn't have a bed made up for us, towels laid out, and that she had cooked (gasp) leftovers! After the initial shock and after about 24 hours they were glad to have us back!

After New Years (which we spend working at one of my brothers 'parties- see www.thomaslynchevents.com Andrew made the solo trip back to Seattle (crying the whole way there no doubt) Which brings us to my 25th birthday - which I celebrated with a low-key dinner sans Andrew...

I spent Jan. 25th - Feb. 2nd in Seattle (where I was reprimanded for abandoning the blog - this post is for you Carol!) And started work at the gym in Canmore a few days ago.There you have it- Andrew and I are indeed still alive, and still dating! I hope to put some holiday photos on soon.
