We're Still Around- Life Just Hit

Wow. It's been so long since I added anything to this. Personally I blame Facebook and Ravelry.
The last few months in a nutshell:
On the spur of the moment we bought a new(er) car. A lovely 99 model silver Volvo S40. Her name is Velma- after the chic from Scooby Doo, and because it starts with V for Volvo.
We both competed it NaNoWriMo. Denise finished, I didn't (although I'm still working on my novel)
Christmas happened, with the madness of knitting several gifts for people within a month
My Grandfather passed away just after Christmas after a two year battle with lung cancer. Umm... don't smoke kiddies. It's not a nice way to go.
Our neighbours got married. They had the same celebrant as us. It was a lovely day, although a bit touch and go with the weather. Who could believe rain in January.
Denise started her first real job as a graduate with the government. Yay two regular incomes
Poor Velma was in an accident. Stupid tart on her mobile phone didn't watch what was happening in front of her. We stopped. She didn't. $6000 of damage to our car, her's was written off. Yeah, small red Barina's fold when they hit nice solid Volvo tow bars.
We almost put an offer on a house we found. It was perfect apart from one thing. The time. Give us another 4 months and we'll have the deposit.
Easter... not much to say there apart from Chocolate.
My job has been turned into a permanent roll. As my charming co-worker mention, now they're stuck with me.
Denise and I celebrated our first Wedding anniversary. Hard to believe how quickly the time has gone. We both had the day off work and went back to Waterfall Gully to walk around and remember. It was a fantastic day.
And tonight Denise is downstairs suffering with the boogie monster- aka a cold, while I'm up here trying to get another 500 words written in my novel but procrastinating yet again.
So, that's been us recently. Must try to get back in the blogging mood, especially when we ramp up the house hunting. Oh won't that be a fun journey.
