Things have been rather hectic lately. I've been working a new full-time job, planning my wedding and doing a lot of volunteer work as well. James and I moved into a new house this January and we are settling in nicely. He has been working very hard both at work and at home. Renovating seems like an endless headache. James' sister and neice are currently staying with us as they hunt for an apartment, so it's been a very full house the past couple of weeks. It's nice to have some company while James is at work. As far as my "troubles" go, I have been doing very well lately and I am very proud of myself. James has been a huge help, of course and I have found a friend in his sister. James often finds us in the kitchen in the middle of the night chatting and eating ice cream straight from the carton. I am truly happy and I hope the same for all of you. Pictures: [Above] James and his lovely neice. They have become rather inseparable. [Below] James and I at Christmas. You can see in that last picture that I have gained a lot of weight back. Most people I see from my past don't even recognize me. The doctor says I am the healthiest he has ever seen me. I believe this is a reflection of how elated I am, all the time. Life truly is precious, every moment of it. Love, Alice
