Exciting News - Revealed!!
Yesterday, Trista and I used a little bit of today's technology to announce something very exciting. We thought it'd be really fun to announce this virally - over the internet through FaceBook, MySpace, and BlogSpot. The wait is over, and yes the Slowik family is getting bigger with the addition of ANOTHER CHIHUAHUA! Sorry for the let down to all of those who were expecting a baby.
After Trista's Saturday five hour math class yesterday, she stopped by the pet store to pick up some stuff for Ruby and there just happened to be a dog rescue organization there called "All Terrier Rescue" with four nine week old chihuahua's up for adoption. Apparently, there was a breeder in New Mexico who was breeding far beyond her capabilities. A pregnant mother was one of the rescued and she had her litter while under care at the rescue.
Maybe it was from being in a state of confusion after a her five hour math class, but Trista though this would be a great idea! Even more surprising, was my agreeing to this. We had wanted another dog for about a year ago, in fact, about a year ago we bought one but then had to give it back because that dog was in pretty bad condition.
We have named him Diego and he weights a little over two pounds. Ruby is being slow towards acceptance, but they did play this morning so that's a good sign. We are very excited to have him!!! Here a couple videos and pictures:

Wintery Things
Hope everyone is staying warm out there! We're having an uncharacteristically long wintery storm...the news stations refer to it as, "The Arctic Blast." While I find that slightly on the extreme side, it has been cold and snowy! It's beautiful and definitely making it feel more like Christmas!

Christmas Tree
We spent about 2 hours at the tree farm trying to find the perfect one....I think there were just too many trees to choose from so it was hard to decide!
We were losing daylight and it was starting to rain....so we settled on this one. Chris cut it down, he's such a man. :)
We brought it home on the roof of my car. I have no idea what we were thinking but we made it! After finding the right place for it (we rearranged the living room about 5 times, and ended up sticking with our original layouot) we hung the most important ornament..... GO VIKES!
Tada...

Last Weekend
We went wine tasting in the beautiful Willamette Valley last weekend. Every Thanksgiving and Memorial Day weekends all of the wineries have big shin digs with live music, gourmet food and of course amazing wine-including some exclusive tastings just for the weekend. We went with our lovely friends and neighbors, Ryan and Allison.
I am currently in the middle of the end of the term rush but am surviving. One more test to go and I'm free until '09! '09 seems so far away to me still but I'm sure it will be here along with a fun filled winter term sooner than I expect.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
