"Pull over Dad I have a wedgie"

It's good to be home, we missed everyone! That being said sometimes I wonder why we live in Terrace... Don't get me wrong I ABSOLUTELY love it here and its a great place to be ESPECIALLY when the sun is shining ask anyone who's been anywhere and I'm sure they'll agree with me, Terrace is one of the most breath-taking places in the world. It just seems there's no money to be made here, people are caught in a rut of "save your pennies" were not going to have anything tomorrow. Anyways..

The trip was great Tristan and Liv did great, we had a lot of fun and spent to much money, but whats a holiday if you don't right? Our friends were shocked we'd make the trip just to say goodbye but of course we did and would. They've been great friends over the years and will continue to be unless Keith starts to cheer for Calgary :P jk buddy We haven't always gotten to connect with them but they've been there for us when we've needed them and we've definitely consider them some of our good friends, mentors in our lives at times and just a shoulder to lean on or laugh with in others. So as you guys make this transition in your life we'll be praying for you and asking God's blessings on your life's also that he'd provide for you spiritual and practical needs.

So ya now were home and wondering what God has in store for us, work has been a bit slow. I've got some projects I need to get completed and am trying to work on. But its not enough right now so if you could remember us in your prayers that God would continue to provide which were completely trusting Him to do, that would be greatly appreciated.

Also on that note I could use some prayer for my foot, I've done something to it and can barely walk on it "sometimes" if that makes sense, sometimes it doesn't hurt at all other times it's unbearable, so ya please pray its nothing serious and that God would do a healing there. Especially sux since I've started trying to get in shape yet again, the snow is melting the mountains are calling to me and I've actually had a crazy urge to start running again (which I did for the first time today) sort of ha-ha did a walk/run sorta thing with my buddy Tom, he's good to run with cause he pushes me but won't let me push so hard that I hurt myself. Christy and I want to start running together also so that will be good for us, we'll figure something out with the kids and go for a run daily or something.

anyways I'm gonna go veg cause my foot is killing me right now, maybe I'll ice it up or something Thanks for reading appreciate the prayers.

And Keith Andrea if you read this we love you guys and were praying for you!!!

Blessings

Things didn't work out...

Sunday, April 20, 2008
So everything was going fine, they drew up the contract and I was still asking some questions... Then I got an email saying I was over-qualified.. If there really is such a thing..

It's ok though Christy and I started to feel like it wasn't what God wanted for us anyways. They kept beating around the bush with some of the questions that I was asking and wouldn't give us straight answers.

So I'm back on the hunt for work, things are going well with TCSI Tom and I are staying busy, still not busy enough for full commitment but I trust that God is taking care of our needs as we haven't gone in want yet since being laid off.

weird post I know. Just wanted to post something I guess.

Sorry I Suck..

I was trying to be more committed to updating my blog but its not going to happen who am I kidding... I'll just continue updating as is and hopefully you guys will put up with it.

So lots has happened as most know I got laid off on March 3rd, I've been working my business with Tom [TCSI Computers] and that's been going great, lots of work keeping really busy. At the same time I've been keeping my ears to the ground as previously mentioned I applied for one and told them I'm not interested unless they pay me $30/hr which is pretty big money. Well I recently heard of another job with a company called Microserve, I told Gwen about it too for her brother's sake but let her know I'd be applying for it also. I sent my resume in on a Thursday afternoon around 12 and before 1pm they emailed me back, and before 5pm same day the manager for BC called me. I wasn't home so my darling wife took a message and asked some questions of her own. I called him back when I got home and we talked for about 30mins. He wanted me on board and everything sounded great. I told him I'd need some time to think about things and I'd probably fire off a couple emails with questions and thoughts or whatever. So I did that and then on Monday after having prayed about it and talked it over with my wife I emailed back and said if the offer still stands I'm interested. I just had a few requests, one being that I wanted everything in writing, that is whatever we agreed upon before the hiring process took place. So today, I was thinking "odd I haven't heard from them yet, maybe they found someone else" (G's Bro has an AMAZING resume so I'd hire him over me too) So I thought I'd give them a call just to see whats up and he was excited to hear from me again and asked if I had received my email yet. Apparently they're taking my "wanting it in writing" seriously and thats grrrrreat. I'm really stoked to be working for this company.

I Get to work from home, pick my own hours (basically) and its a REAL team environment, they're going to fly me and the family down to Victoria so I can familiarize myself with the company AND so we can take part in the company BBQ on the 10th get to meet some people and go from there.

So ya, so far it looks like I've gotten the job, were going to go over some paper work and go from there. I'll be able to work my business when needed and count on a steady income.

Theres my update!

Thanks for all the prayers I really appreciate it!

Bless y'all ;)
