'Tis the Season...

I know it's been about three months since I've posted anything. I guess I got out of the habit and got busy with other things. Ben has been doing DJ jobs on the side for weddings and corporate parties. I have been working a lot. My new job keeps me very busy. This past week we had a confirmed case of H1N1 with a client. It was interesting to see people walking around with masks and gloves on. The holidays are also keeping us on our toes. I have been doing a lot of Christmas shopping and preparing. My friend and I are in charge of Secret Santa at work so that's been fun. I never really like the Christmas season but this year my view on the holiday has changed. I'm actually enjoying it. Ben and I are going to put up our tree this weekend hopefully so pictures of it will soon follow. My brother gets done with his deployment in Afghanistan next month and is coming to see us in February. I'm very excited about both. Corky and Riley are still as sweet and naughty as ever. Riley has a habit of sitting down wherever he wants, regardless of what he may sit on. Corky's face gets sat on often but he's such a good dog, he always just moves out of Riley's way. Corky ate holes in three pairs of pants this past weekend and I'm sure Riley just watched him do it. They both have their own personalities and mesh well together. Corky was limping pretty badly so we took him to the vet and they originally gave him medicine for arthritis. When that didn't work, we took him back. They ran x-rays and then told us to bring him back to see the orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon said he couldn't find anything wrong with Corky and that he needed to go get acupuncture. We have yet to send him there but he seems to be having more good days. All in all, that's what has been going on in our neck of the woods.
