As anyone who owns a fish tank knows, fish tend to come and go fairly quickly. Especially in the beginning when you're still learning . And so it has been with us as well.

Last night, Merlo went missing. I realised she was gone sometime around 8-8:30, and I hadn't seen her since around 7:00. Raoul and I searched the entire house over several times, and called and called outside. She didn't come, not even at the sound of food in her bowl (and she hadn't even finished her supper, so she had to have been hungry). Merlo never really wanders from the house much. The longest she's been away before has been maybe half an hour or so, and she usually comes soon after she's called.

I've never been as much of a cat person as I am a dog person. I've never had anything against cats, but because we never had one growing up, I was never extremely fond of them either. Then I came here, and Raoul had Keena, so I had my first real experience of having a cat.

So Hannah and I were looking at icanhascheezburger.com again tonight, and some of the pictures up there were so funny I couldn't NOT post them. By the way, if you haven't heard of icanhascheezburger.com, you're missing out, so head over there and check it out!

YAY! Raoul got some videos of Merlo and Keena up on YouTube! Now you can see first-hand how cute our cats are.

That's right, I've got a job! I'm the content manager and an administrator of the City Partnership website: http://citypartnership.org.za/

The City Partnership is a ministry to business people. Raoul put together their site for them, and I was offered the job of uploading content every week. I'm being paid a small retainer each month- nothing huge, but it's something, and it's tax-free! Read more about Hannah's got a job!...

Yes, that's right. I got a promotion. I'm in my last month of probation (we have a 3 month probation period to prove we're worthy of the position) so if all goes well, as of the 1st of July, I will officially be a Senior Developer. And, from the whispers I have heard, that will mean a pay increase. Read more about A Promotion...

By popular demand, I've added a few pictures. There are a few of Merlo, as well as some long-awaited honeymoon photos. With our better connection, I'll try to upload photos a bit more frequently. Enjoy!
