playing catch up Yes, Kyle is here - literally, in my house. The boy arrived yesterday and we fried a turkey to welcome him. He's staying in the guest room (well, he's allowed to come out) for as long as he needs to for the Christmas break. He's only been here one day and of course we've already covered topics such as so called apostolic succession, catholicity, relational ecclesiology, requirements for ministry training, fiddleback chasubles and technorati rankings. Lovely. I think actually he's still only half awake in a fog of jetlag.
Things are going alright. We got a new bed today - I'll see how it sleeps tonight. King size. I've never had a bed so big. I actually like sleeping on single beds - and a King is like two singles put together so there you go, two in one. Should be cool. I hope it's much easier on my back than our previous mattress.
Looking forward to two whole weeks off work - with holidays connected to vacation days I hadn't taken yet - for Christmas - after the 16th, I won't be back at work till Jan. 3rd.
Oh, and Liz and I (mostly Liz as per usual) got our custom backsplash tile up in the new kitchen. It looks reeeaally good. The grout's not in yet but we did a pretty good job I think. We had them not put any in when we had the house built so we could pick and put in our own. We've finally gotten to it. I think we picked well. A nice addition. Makes the kitchen that much richer.
