Hellllllooo Hallers!

Let's see....I miss my family terribly. I really am looking forward to seeing everyone on Thanksgiving. So, what's new....Well after 2 and some change years of living in a "group house" in McLean VA, Lukas and I are fleeing the nest! That's right...Come Janurary 1st, Lukas and I will have our 1st apartment on our own, as a married couple. Not a whole hell of alot more going on right now. I am still in school (still maintaining an "A" in the class, and hoping to take 2 classes next semester...as long as I can get some finacial aid action...cross my fingers)....Lukas is still working at good ol Balduccis, and doing his side job actions (building programs, and writing code...something like that)...Then there is Kafka. What can I say about the little guy? He is growing so very quickly. Just last week, he got his 1st Rabies, and Bordetella shots for the year, and the big "snip snip" is right around the corner! Lukas is not as excited about Kafka getting neutered as I am (It is my impression, that Lukas thinks that he is "betraying" Kafka in some way, by getting Kafka "snipped"...but whatever) Kafka is also, flourishing in his training...He has learned sit quite well, and lay down, and he waits before he eats his food (The key word for him getting to eat the food is "release"). Kafka is currently learning another neat trick called "drop it"!..He is not the best at it, and to be honest if your running after him screaming "drop it" he will do the opposite and run faster, but hey, it's one brain cell at a time right? So, that's my update on our little family....Oh! I almost forgot...The kitty...Lil old WTF. She is miserable. She hides in the living room away from human contact, and most especially from Kafka. When Kafka does bump into her in the house, she screams bloody cat murder, and tries to punch him with her declawed kitty mitts! It's a great show to watch when the internet is down...So yeah, that's the update. I hope you guys are doing well and Lukas and I are pumped about seeing you all on Thanksgiving.....Kafka will most likely be with us...cause well, he is our baby boy, and we cannot crate our baby all day. We love you guys! Woof Woof (that's Kafka) Meoooowww! (WTF) SMOOCHES
