Hello Everybody,

For some of you it’s been a while since you’ve heard from us. Most of you have never met us. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Bijou and I am one of the furry friends of Matt and Sarah. My sister Kittle and I (she’s rubbing her head on the floor… there’s something not right with her) have been living (and moving everywhere) with Matt and Sarah for 6 years now. As much as you may have heard them complain about moving, trust me when I say we hate it more. And they don’t stop moving. Every flippin’ year it’s going to a new place.

The year started out calm and peaceful enough. Sarah was staying at home doing odd projects for the Democratic Party (DFL) in Minnesota and Matt was still working for the software company. They kept disappearing though looking for a house. This made me uneasy. I had managed to stop this plan last year but now they seemed determined.

In May, my world fell apart. Matt and Sarah were never around. Sarah had a full time job with the DFL now and they were getting ready to remodel their office. Matt’s company was getting ready to move into a new building they built. And then, worst of all, all of my stuff started going in to boxes. They kept talking about a “closing day” on June 8 and I knew it wasn’t good.

Since then, things have been relatively calm. The boxes have been mostly unpacked. Our food bowls made it safely. There are so many more places to lay now that I don’t know what to do with myself.   Kittle’s favorite spot (since late October) is in front of the fireplace.  I like to stay near the sunny kitchen.

If you’d like to come visit Kittle and me, we plan to have very open calendars in 2012, as it is an election year and we probably won’t see much of Sarah or Matt.

Happy Holidays and Have a Great 2012!
