New blog

Well James and I decided that it makes more sense to have a blog together than to write the same thing on 2 different blogs. So visit http://jacquiandjames.blogspot.com/

St Patty's

We went to the lake again with my dad this weekend....Sunday was cold, windy, rainy, and snowy so we left early. Saturday was pretty good-we did some ice fishing, watched some movies, played Scrabble. It makes me feel kinda old though-we didn't party on St Patty's day.

I look like a geek ice fishing














The cabin

February

Life has been pretty uneventful lately, which explains the lack of posting. Nothing much is new but here are a few pictures....

This is the birthday cake I made James' dad (It's supposed to be a hot tub)





























Snow at the cabin

Happy Groundhog Day!!

Does anyone know if the groundhog saw his shadow? Short post, I know, but what are you going to do...

Christmas and stuff

Our first married Christmas was pretty busy. Christmas Eve we ate supper with my family-we had the traditional Ukrainian Christmas eve meal-different kinds of perogies, cabbage rolls, fish, borscht, wheat...and I don't know what else. Oh, but first we went to church. It was so busy they had a service going on in 2 locations (for at least 2 of the 3 services)-we had to sit in the cafeteria but we had a seat. It ended up being standing room only. After church and supper we opened a few gifts before going to James' grandparents house to visit with his family.

Christmas morning started with me waking up at 6am. We opened our gifts and had a nap before going to have Christmas morning with James' family at 10am. We got lots of great gifts! Then we went to my parents house around 3pm to have Christmas with them. We opened more great gifts and then had supper with them. By the end of the day we were exhausted! We went to bed late and woke up at the crack of dawn to go shopping.

James and I on Christmas Eve















A rock I painted for my mom as a Christmas present















From Dec 30-Jan 4th we went to my parents cabin. My dad, my sister, and my sisters friend were there on Saturday night. It was an awesome vacation, very relaxing! It was too warm though (what a complaint....)-our food was melting (we keep the frozen stuff outside in the winter!). The amount of snow was incredible and the RM didn't plow our road. Good thing dad borrowed a snow blower!

We shot some fireworks on the 30th. They were cool!















Check out the snow drifts in front of the cabin!

6 months!

Not much is new except as of 2 days ago, James and I have been married for 6 months!! Woohoo, milestone! We're having a fondue tonight to celebrate.

Sorry for the short update.....

Mural painting

On Saturday James and I went to his parents' house to paint a mural beside their hot tub. It was a long day but thankfully it's finished! I really didn't want to paint for more than one day. Other than that, nothing else has been going on. We've just been working on our classes and stuff...

Here are some mural pics:
