Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Gobble gobble everyone!!

Well it's been a while again since I last posted. I've seen the visitor numbers dropping steadily and I don't blame you. I hate going to sites that are not updated on a regular basis.

It's hard to post updates when nothing new or exciting has happened. Boring you is just as bad as not posting but at the risk of boring you I thought I better make a post.

Since we got back from Ontario there really hasn't been anything exciting going on. I no longer work at Vic Truss. I'm glad cause Marty the boss is an asshole. I had a nice chat with the owner and he said there was always an opening for me if things picked up again in the spring. He's expecting the worst fall in years and years. I told him I would consider it but after hearing things I've heard recently I'm going to talk to him and tell him I won't go back if Marty is still there. A few different employees have talked to me at Wal Mart and has said how Marty talked behind my back when I wasn't there. I told them I expected it and it doesn't surprise me at all and that I would have been more worried if he hadn't. The worst thing was that on the Monday after our Ontario trip Marty called to tell me it was slow for a bit and he would call me Thursday to let me know whats up. Never heard from him for 5 weeks. But apparently on the Tuesday after he talked to me he offered another sawyer my job and a dollar raise. A whole 15 dollars an hour to put up with a lot of shit and have extra pressure and duties on you. Oh well he can have it! I had actually given my keys to that sawyer before I went on holidays and told him I didn't want them back! GOOD LUCK!!!!

Another thing that is happening right now is that we are waiting to find out if we have to move come January 1st. The unit we live in was sold. I hadn't told anyone but we had put an offer in and it wasn't accepted. So now its a waiting game but we are going to start packing up what we don't need. Patty and I had started cleaning up the basement (mostly Patty) to clean out un needed or un wanted things we had piled up down there. It gave Ben a lot more room to make a mess. We are going to try and find a place close by so I can still look after the town houses. I don't want to rush and buy a place I want to rent and try to save up some extra money for a down payment.

Well since things come in 3 here is the 3rd bad news. Although I don't think the first thing is bad and the second thing could work out better in the long run.

Adam and Mary are looking at moving to Kelowna. Mary can get a job doing what she is doing now at another university and Adam believes he will have better options/opportunities for work over there as well. We only get over that way once a year so we won't see Gwen as often as we do now but they have to do what they think is best for their family and finances. We wish them luck !

Today is going to be a good Thanksgiving because we will have Patty's 3 boys, 2 daughter in-laws and Gwen here today. The turkey is in the oven the potatoes are peeled and the pumpkin pie is in the fridge. Ben is the only one that has to work today. He recently started at McDonalds and so far he seems to like it. Actually he likes the money cause he spends more time at trying to figure out how much he makes than actually working lol.

Well I'm going to end it here because Ben is patiently waiting to get on here to talk to a girl. Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanks Giving and eats too much turkey!!! I know I will!!
