It's been so long since I posted news. I skipped all of 2004. I won't even bother going back and recapping most of it. I will say, I learned how to knit and have begun designing my own patterns. I pawned some jewelry last October, and bought Cory a shiney new Ibanez guitar for our 2nd anniversary. He loves it, and his progress is impressive. I had my appendix out via emergency surgery last August and it sucked. I've hooked back up with Holly, and her husband Nick and I are in a band, along with Mindy and some less permanent members. We're called No Resolve and we host open mics at JR's Downunder on Wednesdays. Um, lets see. Anything else worth noting? I think that's it. On to more recent news:

Cory's mother and step-father came for a visit a couple weeks ago. They brought with them some chain-link fence, a sand box, a Little Tikes cabin, a new grill and all sorts of other fun things. So, Kit now has a fenced back yard and LOTS of new things to keep her busy, and we've been eating off the grill regularly.

We're gearing up for July, Kit's first 4th that might actually be interactive, and Cory's birthday. He's already gotten himself a nice gaming table with his birthday moolah from his mother.

Which brings us to the VERY exciting news that Cory's sister Micki has moved back from Ohio! It's so much fun to have her back. And it means a babysitter for Kit that doesn't live 20 minutes out of town.

Kit is growing like a weed, as they say. She's tall and skinny, but strong as an ox. She's talking up a storm now, and her articulation is impressive for a two year old, though her pronunciation is still babyish. It just makes her sound really cute and sweet when she says things like "No, not you, go away." Cory is busy teaching her how to be a rock star. You should see her windmill! She even got her own guitar for Christmas.

We have finally gotten almost finished with our first-phase remodel. The new bathroom is fully functional and has walls. It doesn't have a permanent floor yet, and the walls aren't painted, but it's a lot better than it was. We started putting drywall up in Kit's little room last weekend. (Thanks to those who helped!) It's slow going. The room is not square. Not a bit. But it will be so nice when it's finished.
