So here it is! My first loaf of (edible) bread. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but boy oh boy was it delicious!

We finally did it!

We paid off the last of our wedding loan! While we're far from debt free, mostly because we're sitting on a big pile of Ben's student loans, we've pretty much removed ourselves from all non-student debt (i.e. anything with a disgustingly high interest).

I'd write more about it, but really, there's not much else to say. ;-)

Whoa....2008?!? Happy New Year, and holy cow, I can't believe it's here already. Maybe I'll actually start updating and posting stuff regularly. I've started having some serious nesting syndromes with the onset of winter, so there's been a few massive cooking/baking operations that I've taken some pictures of. We'll see how this goes, but I'll add it to my list of New Year's resolutions (along with running all 6 of the 5k's I signed up for despite how cold it is).

Speaking of 5k's -- Ben and I ran one on New Year's Day in the bitter bitter cold (it was 4 degrees Fahrenheit with 20 mph winds, so -16 with the windchill) but very sunny day. This photo is of us right before the race.

Next one is February 16th!
