-----------------------------------------------Other items of note-------------------------------------------------

 I had spent a good chunk of my free time last month working on the kitchen remodel which is coming to it's final portions. Tiling, painting, putting up molding, and building a book shelf are what is left with that for the most part. I also have been busy working on planning our 10th year vow renewal in Disney World which is coming up later this month and should be a lot of fun.
