Hello all-
Well once again a few months have passed since my last blog. I thought now would be a good time to update the blog. Yesterday we had the pleasure of having my brother-in-law here. He was on his way from Dallas back to Utah so he stopped and stayed with us for the rest of the day *thursday* and then left early this morning *friday*. It was a great visit. I know Truman was really excited to see family finally after nearly two years. I hope we can see him again sooner rather than later-either we go to Utah, or he comes back down to little Alpine-.
We put up the tree finally a few weeks ago. Its so cute. We finally have the space to put a bigger tree, but this year once again we used our little 3 foot one. Truman brought home another dog*gasp* and it is a crazy little 6 month old. So little tree that can be propped up 0n a table is much better.
We moved into a bigger house, it can be a 4 bedroom, but we use one for computer room, laundry room, and tv room *truman's man cave*. It is way exciting to have space to stretch out and move about. There is no carpet so easy clean up and pickup which is a plus. I am in absolutely adoration of my lovely room. I painted it a dark deep chocolate brown, and the trim in a nice ivory creme. The ceiling is also brown. I love the enclosed feeling you get when you are in there, and how it just makes you feel like taking a nap in my giant bed.
We still have our cats and dogs...3 cats and 5 dogs. Yikes, blame truman for the 5th dog. But I have drawn the line and I DO NOT WANT ANYMORE PETS!!! I was good with just the 3 dogs, but Penelope and Duke just sort of popped into our lives. But we have a giant yard, and plenty of room for them. I am just waiting for Duke to calm down and so he can be inside more.
Truman and I are doing great. He is loving his job and I am loving mine.
We have both gotten into World of Warcraft...and so we play that online game together with some friends.
But tonight is movie night for us, so I must go....

Merry Christmas and many warm wishes from the Hinkson family in Texas.
