It is so cold outside

Well I got one day off work this week. My workplace cancels when it is is between -45 and -50. So i got a morning to sleep in. This week has been so cold as I got in and out all the time with my job. I can't wait till it warms up a bit. I want to go sledding, cross-country skiing, skating and so much more.But the weather will not cooperate.

We are quite busy these days though, which gives us no time for boredom. rearanged our living room area yesterday. I finally got my photo albums and my book shelf into the living room. I also cleaned up the spare room and now I can finally make spare bedroom, which is what I have been trying to do since we moved into this apartment. So now it looks really nice here.

I will be very pleased when the spare room is finished. All I need is something to organize a few items in, then we will be set here.

I found a picture from our dating days that I just had to add to this blog.

Hope you all are staying warm

Well things are going well at this end. Stephan is looking for a new job outside of his church job. So that is frustrating at times, and is so hard to find a decent job that pays well. Oh well the search continues.

I went by myslef to bucks Auto yesterday and found a piece of plastic for my Jetta that broke recently. I got it off myself, except for one screw to the amazement of the guys on the yard. I am going there on saturday with my dad for two more items. There is an antenna that I need. Mine broke in the big snow storm and Volkswagon charges way too much for the stuff I am looking for. I hope to get my CD Deck installed in my car soon, as i do not have a radio right now, which is a bit frustrating. I spend alot of time in my car with work, and my client talks alot too, so some music would be appreciated soon.

Anways enough of me compaining about my car. Life is good, weather is warm. what more could i ask for.

things are too exciting sometimes

This week has been so cold. but oh well it is January in Manitoba. My work was cancelled on Friday due to the extreme wind chill. So i had day off with pay then. That was fine with me. Yesterday we went out to selkirk to see friends, but our car would not start because the car was not plugged into the block heater all the way. So we tried to get it going, but we had to pick it up after church today, it started but not very willingly. Our friends gave us a ride back to Winnipeg early in the morning. But all is okay now, but we are tired today from that. It took me forever to warm up last night beacuase it was so cold.

I am going shopping with my parents for a bit this afternoon. so that should be good.

pictures from christmas

things are back to normal somewhat now

Christmas is over and we are both back to work full time and our lives are starting to settle down somewhat. I can now relax at home after work if i want. That is such a great feeling. I will have worked at my job for one year at the end of January which means that for the first time I will get paid vacation. We are planning to take a vacation in the spring after my sister Melissa's baby is born. Dont want to miss that.

busy christmas

I have not been blogging for awhile. Life has been crazy since my last blog. We had our final youth event of 2006. We had a progressive supper which went really well. December has been a flurry of events. I dont know where this month went. I had a few family gatherings this month and have one more on new Years day. Now I get a few days off of work to relax after a few gatherings before I have to go back to work.

car stuff over

Stephan has had his car a 199 Hyundai Elantra for two weeks now and that is going well, with a a rear ender from someone. So now we have to deal with autopac againm, but this time the car is just getting fixed and not totalled.

I gave my old car to my dad, it can drive more peacefully in the country. I got my 1992 Jetta Diesel Turbo last night. The car is in immaculate conditon as it was fully restoreded lookwise. It has amazing fuel economy which is a huge benefit.

So all is solved in the veichle sense now, except now Stephan will have to use a courtesy car for a few days while his gets fixed.

I have had two christmas gathering already. I had on the 10th with Stephan's family and on the 17th we had a gathering with the Penner clan. I have one more this sunday, the 26th and the 1st. so this is a busy but good christmas holidays. I have from the 22 till the 2nd off of work with pay, so that is exciting. I am looking forward to the time off.

Hope you all have a great Christmas

Stephanie
