so it's been FOREVER since i last posted, almost 2 whole weeks! i guess it's been because we've been so crazy busy that i haven't even had time to check my e-mail and return phone calls, let alone post to my blog. i worked like a dog last week, since i was covering for the hygienist who's been on vacation in mexico. it was also the first saturday that i've worked in a long time as well. nothing beats getting up at 6:30 in the morning when it's dark and everyone else is sleeping on their day off! canuck's also been so booked at work, he has bags under his eyes, literally. he's worked every day last week, minus sunday, of course. it's like we're two ships passing in the night. one of the other doctors left his office so he's basically got two dentists worth of patient charts. today's the first whole day we actually got to spend together, and that was to go to a seminar that our corporate office was hosting on customer service (it was long, but actually kinda fun and informative).

some major league changes coming up soon, too. our real estate agent wants to meet with us to take us around some neighborhoods of interest, and we're just waiting for a response from our mortgage broker for an approval. tax returns will soon be filed and hopefully we'll have a little windfall put away and voila! home sweet home! we're very much looking foward to it.

nana and grandpa are moving to michigan! crazy, but true! grandpa got a job offer for the east lansing police department doing radio and communications. the benefits are great, the cost of living is a quarter of what it is on long island, and i think everyone's ready for a change. what's really cool is that they'll be over 5 hours closer by car! i think it's really fantastic, but at the same time i'm a little sad, as we'll be visiting new york a little less frequently (enough to see papa, but it's still not the same, you know?). and my mom's a new yorker, i'm trying to picture her in another state! i'm sure it's something we'll get used to, tho!

canuck's playing video games on the play station, so i'm going to go hang out with him and cookie while we're all together. i hope to be able to post more frequently in the future, now that things have calmed down!!!

p.s. check out my dictionary definition up top! pretty awesome!
