Our 1st Clas

Well tonight was our first class on the phone, it was nice to be able to talk to 4 other couples in the same stages of us. We talked about who are the children in teh system and what are expectations are.

Evan was not lucky enough to have sat on the 1 hour and half class with me as we said our name his cell phone went off and was lucky enough to have to go to the bedroom and work 2.5 hours on a confrence call to fix something at one of the mines.

So our next class is in 2 weeks, we watch a movie and read chapters and a hand out before class then we talk about it on the phone. It was good but a bit boring

So thats where we stand, on the 25th I am to go meet with the social worker and then hopefully she will come here to do our home study.

New place

Well after I typed about the 6-8 months yesterday to see the dr in Calgary we got a phone call it was so weird, it cost lots of money just to go see them $250 deposit plus a stay over in Calgary. So right now we are just going to focus on Adoption.

Anyways what you all have been waiting for Picture's to our house click HERE... I hope it works

Anyways we are off to Calgary this weekend going to go shopping for a BBQ

Have a good one!

We are home!

We have officially moved into our new place! We have phone, Internet and cable!

Its nice to have our own place again with more room then a tiny apartment.

Howie and Jake are doing well, Howie thinks he should be anywhere we are so he has been following us everywhere we go and Jake is Jake and hides under the couch until the blinds start shaking then he runs.

The views from here are amazing, Mountains on 3 sides, we look at the ski hill from our bedroom and more amazing mountains from our front deck! I know take pictures soon!

The unpacking is going well, I have a little left then I need to do a big clean sweep and hang pictures on the walls and we are done until the new painting begins.

Evan has been working Overtime since they have started a new project at the mine and last night he got home just after 8 and tonight should be the same. I wish he was home earlier this week, its so crazy moving in to our place and him having to work 13 hour days. But its okay this weekend we are going to Calgary to celebrate my dads 70th birthday party! A new mall just opened up with a big Bass pro shop and a mall with 250 stores and the best of all a Bath and body! wooohhhhooooo and then we are going to red lobster and we are going to go to the casino for the night. Its going to be good to get away with Evan please pray he can go and nothing goes wrong on Friday at work that he has to stay behind.

So I called the doctors office today to see how long it would take to get into the fertility clinic and calgary, they told me 6-8 months holy crap! I was in one in London right away and 2 months for the second. This blows! We will go to see the fertility doctor to ask what our option is and to make sure everything is okay. But we are just going to adopt for now, its a big relief that we started the adoption and didnt wait for the fertility clinic.

Well thats all for now!

Home Sweet Home!

Well we got the house yesterday, its good we have emptied half of our apartment but are still moving slowly.

The place is nice, there are 2 walls in the living room that have well had wall paper on it, small little roses well I pulled it off today to my suprise of BIG BIG BIG Pink Rose Pannel lovely eh!!! So we will be painting that for sure. Our plan is to paint the living room a nice chocolate brown to make it nice and dark. Its a fair size room with two Big windows. Then we are going to paint the kitchen/dinning room, Red and Black... I will take pictures of before and then after.

So the home owners told us it was a newer hot water tank, well guess what there was sludge in it 200lbs worth! gross eh! So anyways they purshaced a new hot water tank for us!

But we have ran into a problem, five years ago the trailer next door to us caught on fire and burnt to the ground the fire department cut our phone lines and cable line so if you guessed it we do not have phone nor do we have cable for a week or so. We may not get a phone if they are going to charge us to install the lines. 5 years and they never repaired them I was so mad and upset about this. So now we wait and see if there will be a big fee.

Well thats all for now I am exhausted from staying at the place all day doing not much at all

Home time soon!

Wooohhhoooo I am super excited that we are getting our place soon. It means we can get our kids probably faster. We would love to build an addition right away so we could have 4 bedrooms but I think it will have to wait till next year.

Our class starts on September 9th and we have home work to be working on as well as moving. We have 3 chapters to read and a movie and a handout. I am sure we will get it done.

Evan has to work like for the next few weeks its pretty crazy his schedual but they are doing a new project.

Please pray that we can find time to move and get our homework done.

Also please pray for my friends sister and brother in law who should be leaving for africa soon to get their son! Praise God they are able to get this child.

Will add pictures of our new place in our next post
