Packing

So this week is wrapping up really nicely. Kara and I both had half days of work, which allowed us some time to get our passports. But unfortunately kara is not feeling the greatest. We think that she got food poisioning from something she ate a couple days ago, and is only now starting to recover. But she is on the way back to health and things are looking good for this weekend.
So packing is a number one priority around here, or at least it should be; but some how when it comes down to it we always loose our motivation to pack. We are moving all our stuff to Medicine hat and hope that there will be enough room to store everything. Work for me is starting to wind down as people just don't seem to be wanting screens like they have in the past. But The Calgary Stampede and the extreme heat are two major factors that tend to slow us down. The city practically shuts down for the week, but thank the good Lord that its almost over.
So kara and i are planning to leave on the second of August and we just found out that John Head (my old youth pastor) now lives in Manitoba, and we are now going to be staying there after the first leg of our trip. We figure their is nothing much to see in Saskatchewan, so why not speed through as quickly as possible.

So there is a little update for you all, and I will try to keep them coming your way as frequently as possible. Take care everyone, and ill talk to you later.

Second BLOG EVER!!!


WoW! Where has the time gone. It feels just like yesterday we started this blog. Not really. SO hows everyone doing!!
So things have been a little crazy here in Calgary for the past few months. I started back to Phantom Screens for the summer and Kara started a new Nannying Job. This has more or less been our lives for past few months, but we are gradually slowing down as we get closer to start of our summer vacation! Well its not really vacation as there is still much to do before we head off to Mexico. But it will be great to see people who we haven't seen in a while, and visit family and friends across Canada. Kara and I are planning (kara has done most of the planning) a road trip across Canada for the month of August. Slowly making our way to the east coast we will be taking the time to catch up with people in Toronto, Ottawa, the maritime's (did i spell this right?), and hopefully Quebec. We hope to be back in Alberta by the beginning of September in the pill popping capital of Canada (Medicine Hat), and here we will be staying at the Skidmore resident until we leave for Mexico.
This is all really vague, but we hope to update this blog more frequently then we have in the past. We greatly appreaciate the support you have all been to us in getting us started as newly weds, and furthermore with where we sense God leading us this up and coming year. Please continue to pray for us as we begin our move to Medicine Hat, and for our trip across Canada. Things are going to become extremely overwhelming as Kara and I transition from one place to another in the months ahead.
We are trusting God with our fund raising for Mexico, and praise him for the donations people have already made.


Drop us an email if we haven't heard from you in a while. We would like to visit as many people as we can across Canada. Once again, sorry for not updating this blog ages ago. We hope that everyone is well, and that you are enjoying the summer months while they last.
