Our Adventures

Well, I figured it was about time I updated this thing. Although, there's really not much to talk about because all that's been happening lately is writing essays and that can't be too much fun to talk about. This week we got a whack load of snow, over a foot probably. I spent a good two hours shoveling so my car wouldn't be stuck in a frozen pile of snow and shoveled all our walk ways and such, I had a good nap after that. Jo, the lady that lives upstairs gave us a fresh baked loaf of bread the next day for me doing that so that was nice. This is the finished product of my shoveling, well it looked better right after I did it but you get the point. The stuff in the back is our car, the alley and jo's garage, so there you have it.



This weekend we headed out to Lucky Lake for Chris' volleyball team's regional tournament. The top 3 teams of that get to go to provincials. Chris' parents came out and Herbert's volleyball team was there too so at least this time I had people to watch with. Chris' team didn't win any of their games but they came close a few times. It could've been a long day if they made it to the finals so it was sort of nice to be able to leave in daylight. I went on a baking spree today, figured I would stock up on some goods. I made bran muffins and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I also made this really easy jello mousse thing and that is pretty tasty I must say. Yup, I just a little housewife aren't I. Not quite.



We bought a christmas tree stand today because we're hoping to get a little charlie brown tree this year. It'll be nice having a tree to keep my company during the weeks and it'll make me feel like it's Christmas already, can't get much better than that. Tomorrow our big plans are to get the oil changed on our car and to see if we can get a block heater cause I guess cars in BC don't have those and they're quite essential out here if you keep your car outside and need it to start. We'll see, they might be a little too much moolah. Yup and then we're going to watch the big semi-final game, BC versus Saskatchewan. Two years ago we went to that exact match up for the semi-final and of course BC won so we'll see if it happens again. Not much else is going on these days. We'll be able to have longer weekends now with Chris' volleyball being over. I have 4 big essays to write in the next 2 weeks. Christmas break is in 6 weeks but really in 4 weeks because when you don't have classes then it's pretty much Christmas break. We're looking forward to going out to BC and cramming in some good quality time with all our peeps out there. It'll feel like going to Hawaii after being here in the dead of winter. Alright, well I guess that's all I have to say for now. Until next time...
