We Are Homeowners!!!

That's right folks! Nathan and I are officially homeowners. And we couldn't be more excited about it. Everything was finalized tonight with the home inspection. So now it's offical, we have bought our first home. We really couldn't have asked for more in our first house. It's exactly what we were looking for and so much more! We move in on the 28th of July. I'm so excited to get out of our apartment that I've already started packing! haha! A little early I know but it's all good!

So that's the big news in our lives right now. Thank you all for your prayers & support!
Love you lots!

A Quick Catch Up!

Hello all! I have to apologize for not keeping up with our blog! This summer has been a crazy one so far. Especially the past couple of weeks. Let's see...what have we been up to?



Our friends Kevin and Megan were married on June 10th. So we headed out to Manitoba for their wedding. It was a beautiful wedding! I still can't believe that they are married. It was a really great day. We had an awesome time in Manitoba. It would have been nice to stay a little longer and visit with some people that we didn't get to. But we enjoyed catching up with the people that we did get a chance to see.



The following weekend we headed down to Estevan for Auntie Brenda's wedding. That's right two weddings in a row! While we were down there we got a chance to head to the races. It was great! I think that I had more fun watching Haiden cheer then watching the actual races!



I was also excited because I FINALLY got to meet our new baby cousin Paige. She's just too cute! I don't have a picture but I'll try to get one for you all!



We also got some very exciting news on Monday! Dr. Michael Hayden, from BC, who has been working on coming up with a cure for Huntington's figured out how to stop the "cleavage" of the gene. To sum it up without getting myself confused is that THIS IS FRICKING AWESOME! This means that they are really really close now to finding a cure for it! So we were very very excited about it! God rocks!

Nathan & I are going to look at a house tonight. It's in Delisle, and I love it! I'm really hoping that it goes good and we can make an offer. I'm just very ready to have a home. I'm ready to get out of this apartment and into a house!

I can't think of anything else to ramble about right now so I'll let you all go! Talk to you soon!

God Bless & Take care

long time no post....

Gosh! It seems like it's been forever since I have posted. Life has certainly been keeping me busy; which is never a bad thing I guess! It's been a good busy though.
Let's see what have I been up to.....?
Work has been good. We've been working in the Stoon area so Nathan and I have been at home for the past couple weeks. That's been really nice. That's given us a chance to catch up with some of our friends. Last week my girlfriend Kim and I took her son Aidan to The Fun Factory. Let me tell you that a was GREAT! I think that we had more fun than Aidan did. haha! I highly recommend finding a child to take there. It's great!
My girlfriend Carrisa also got home last wednesday. She was in Africa for the past three months working at an orphange. We went to the airport to meet her with a group of kids from the youth group. She was really surprised but very exhausted! She had just been on a plane for the last 22 hours or something stupid like that. I was really happy to have her home. It's been good to hear all her stories and experiences that she had there. I'm super pumped to hear some more and see her pictures!
This weekend we were out at my parents again. The boys were working on the firepit again, I just kind of stand by and make sure that they don't hurt each other! They should be done it soon. It'll just be hard because we are gone for the next two weeks. On saturday night we went out to Pike Lake for my friend Kim's husband Chris's surprise party. His birthday was today so she had planned a little get together with his whole family for that night. It was great. We had a fun time playing with all the kids, eating food and roasting marshmallows! The guys pulled out their guitars after everyone had left and played some songs afterwards. I had a good time cuddling with Aidan by the fire and chatting with Kimmie.
I've been sick the past week. My allergies have been driving me nuts. My sinus's were so congested on friday that I felt like my head was going to explode. Literally. My nose still hasn't stopped running since friday. Oh yes. It's been awesome. No not at all. So I've been praying like crazy for it to just GO AWAY! haha! I just want to able to breathe again!
We'll be busy the next few weekends with weddings. Kevin and Megan's this coming and the following weekend is our Auntie Brenda's. So we'll be doing a bit of travelling. I'm not to excited about the travelling bit but, the wedding part I'm pumped for! Anyways I should stop rambling and let you all get back to your day!
until next time take care.....
