January 21st 2008

Well I thought I should start blogging, since this is the purpose of creating a blog, and also so Clara actually has something to read. Saturday we had our first dinner at mum and dad's house without Phan, Clara and Beth and it was a sombre mood. I missed seeing Beth make a mess of her food and having her squeal and do her usual tricks. I missed having Clara to gossip with and just chat about my week, and I even missed Phan giving me a hard time. It was very quiet. The highlight of the night was doing a phone hook up with them and getting to see Beth on the web camera. She was soooo cute and even obliged us by doing all her little tricks, we even got kisses.

On Sunday Ty and I spent the day looking at some houses. I'd forgotten how deceiving web photos can be, some houses look great on the net but not so flash in person. One house we didn't even go in just did a drive by. House prices are definitely more expensive than when I was last looking. Ty and I are very tempted to build or buy an ex display home. We won't be in the market til the end of the year so we will make some concrete plans then.
