I know I haven't posted a lot lately. It's not that we've been overwhelmingly busy, but there hasn't been a whole lot to report on. We haven't had snow that's lasted for more than a few hours, which is nice. We're crossing our fingers that the roads to Spokane will be clean and easy-going. Tomorrow afternoon we are leaving to spend a week in California! I'm so excited, I can hardly wait! Zak has been trying to get in enough hours so it will balance out him being gone for a week. I had a few busy weekends at work (both college graduation weekends without my co-hostess partner, major craziness!), but am happy to have a little time off. Zak is relieved to be done with school for a few weeks. We've been spending time with our friends, we even saw the new Muppets moving with Zak's co-worker/our friend, Kandace the other week. We are definitely feeling like we're a bit more settled now. It's nice to have a good group of friends to hang out with.
Yesterday I spent the entire day making treats for our Moscow friends. I will post the recipes soon, but I'll tell you what I made: chocolate (semi-sweet and white) cookie bark, Oreo truffles (both peppermint and 'original), and my mom's Christmas cookies. I had to be a bit creative this year for gifts, and budget things out. And I figured our friends wouldn't mind treats, they love when I bring goodies in for the office. I actually made the cookies for a party at Chad & Bryan's, and there were a bazillion left over, so they just set them out at work for the customers. They were gone in one day and everyone raved about them. :)
That's been about it for us. We've just been trying to make it to Christmas and now it's almost here! We are so excited to see our California family, it is going to be a great vacation. Merry Christmas to everyone, I'll update this once we get back to Moscow!
