it is so hot outside

It has been so hot this week at work. Another hot week to look forward to. But it is nice to be back with my regualar client and having the usual schedule. on the 15th friends of ours redicated their wedding vows in the church service for their 25th anniversary, so that was neat to be at.

We went out of town last weekend, and it was so hot. My poor car was overheating the whole time, so took it to the shop, and got a cooling flush done on it, and getting another thermostat put in this weekend. Then my car's engine mount broke on the drivers side, so my engine was loose and klunking around. It was been making a sound for a while but no one has been able to pin down what was wrong until this week, so another repair bill, Stephans car had a 1300 bill not too long ago, so we have to pay for all of this now. No extra money for a while now, but at least both of our cars are safe to drive.

Stephan has been busy with his job lately and has all of his appiontments out of town lately. He was in Niverville, St. Agathe, St. Pierre, and the last few days Altona and Winkler, So i do not see him much at all. So i can get really bored at times in the apartment. I am hoping he will get an area in Winnipeg or closer to Winnipeg next so he can get home not so late.

way to long since last update

Life has been very crazy since the last post in June. Stephan was working alot and I was home alone trying to fill in time. I watched my cute niece Sarah a few times. She is such a cutie, and growing like a weed. She will be four months on the 23rd of this month, which is hard to believe that she is already that old.

I took some time off of work this month, with my client being away. I did not go anywhere but it was nice to have some time to relax. I have been under the weather for a while but am now feeling much better with more sleep.

I went on a semi-truck run with my dad last weekend. It was fun, even though the truck broke down and it took a while to get the other truck. My dad hauls grain bins in the summer time. It was neat to watch the grain bin lift up and stand up with the hydraulic system on the trailer. I want to go on another run sometime and then I will take a video of that, and put in on here.

I had an interesting week. went to emergency with a infection on Sunday night, and then had a serious reaction to the antibiotic. It took three shots of epepherine, and lots of medication to get that under control. So that was scary, and glad that is over now. No more of that medicine for me anymore. They had to call the ambulance to my workplace.

I am back at work on Tuesday and my regular client is back on Friday, so my holidays are over.

Stephan is currently looking for other ministry work.

Anwyays that is what is new with us.

I will attempt to adds some pics to this, this works now, yeah.

long overdue update

I have not been posting for awhile. After i got back from the trip I spent alot of time with my Aunt who passed away on May 26, 2007. I was able to be there to sing her into heaven, which I have not forgotten. I miss her very much, and it is hard to not have her around, but I know that she is no longer struggling with cancer and all the effects of that. She was a super aunt.

Stephan is busy with his job lately so I don't really see him all the much, but I have my sister and my neice Sarah who I adore. I am hoping that we can work his schedule soon that we get more time together when I am awake.

My computer still won't let me put pictures on. That is frustrating, Oh well will have to get Stephan to get this figured out.

Anways things are going okay here.

Back to the ranch

I got home yesterday evening. It was a fun trip, and i got to see some of the more rural areas of Alberta. I also went to Banff on Sunday. I took my friend Juanita on the Gondola, which she enjoyed also for the first time. It was rainy and snowy on the mountain, so you could see lots going up, but not at the top or going down for a bit due to fog. But it still was really pretty outside. Went for a hike up in the snow. If you ever go to Banff you have to go to Rogers Chocolate and try some it is tooo good. Got lots of great pictures despite the weather.

I also went to the museum that my friend Juanita works at. She works at the Alberta Reynolds Museum in Westakawin Alberta. I saw a wooden car from 1903, a replica of the avro arrow, they also have the original throttle from the real avro arrow. If you ever are out by Edmonton you have to go and see the musum. It is amazing how much differnt machines they have there. It is only 30 minutes from Edmonton.

I also went to West Edmonton Mall and finally saw the Ikea store, it has so much stuff in it, I will be going back there when I take a car next time. I will go with Stephan next time so he can help carry stuff. Just kidding.

Anways I am back to work tommorrow, will put picks on tommorrow as my computer will not let me upload pictures.

An update long overdue

Stephan has now completed the training on his new job at American Income life. I am so relieved as it has been anout 2 and a half months along with the course he took which he has been away from home so much. Now he can plan around our schedule, and be around more hopefully. Well see how this job works out. I am so not a risk taker on anything.

I am writing from my friends place in Alberta right now. I flew out early yesterday morning and am flying back out on Tuesday. I went to high school with my friend Juanita. The plane ride out here was a bit rough with alot of turbulence. So my stomache was not thinking that thatwas so hot the whole time. I was very relieved when the plane landed. I think I wore out my knuckles.

It is weird being out here, my aunt told me that I had to go on this trip. She is in St. Bonifce Hospital right now on palliative care. The doctors told her on thursday that she has a week, two weeks or a bit longer to live. She has colon cancer that has taken over her body. The doctors are reducing her IV fluid intake now. So if you read this pray for me and my family as this is tough for us, and especially my Aunt Eileen as she just found out about the news and flew out from Vancouver. I am not sure if she is a christian.

So as you can see I am enjoying myselg out here, but my thoughts are at home though too.But i know where my Aunt is going "Heaven bound" so that makes it a little easier.

Ah yeah it is much cooler and wetter out here in Alberta. They want some of our warmer drier weather. I wish that we had some of theirs. I will post some picks of Alberta when I go out to Banff on Sunday.

Hope you are well at home in Manitoba

change in life

life has changed at our household. Stephan is away in Brandon since Friday for a week or a bit more to get trained for his job at American Income Life. It sucks though that he only had two days notice for this trip. So that changed things here quickly which I did not take well. He might be back for thursday, but it could be Friday.

On a good note I am going to Edmonton to see a good friend from May 11-15. I have not seen her for a long time. She is a good friend I still keep in contact from High School. I just found out today and am shopping for a flight.

A friend and fellow youth volunteer Erin is living with me till Stephan comes home. It helps to have company around in the evening.

My little niece Sarah is growing like weed. She has changed so much in her first month of life. She is such a cutie. I am putting some recent pictures of her on.

It looks like she is pray in this one
