a good day
well today was an eventfull day!
Jo-Ben and i headed to brooks, alberta early this morning from his cousin heather's house. its about a two hour drive from calgary. it turned out that brooks wasnt as dumpy as we htought it would be... it was actually really nice, bute houses, tree lined streets and everything. we thought it was going to be this town full of rig pigs as they call them which i am sure it is but there also seemed to be some nice families there too. anyways, joben had his interveiw with his new boss there and it went really really well. he offered him the job and is paying him two dollars more than we originally thoguht he would AND he is paying for our living arangements in med hat while we are there for jobens work experience. we are pretty pumped for both of those things. what a blessing it is for me expecially because while joben is doing this pipeline stuff this year we are planning on putting all the money he makes aside so we can save for an investment (either in costa rica or a home here in alberta) and live on what i make so it takes the preassure off that we are going to be living rent free... all i have to worry about is getting food on the table which shouldnt be too hard. this also gives me the freedom to do somthing i want to do insted of working in a resteraunt because they tips are good or somthing i can go and try my hand at doing what i love- working in a spa! yay for me!
so today started out being a graet day and kept getting better and better. we came back to calgary in the early afternoon and hung out with joben's friend ryan shantz(from trinity and treeplanting)hes awesome. we cheacked out his house and took a ride in his new jetta. SO nice, i originally wanted a golf as our next car but i think i really like this jetta we drove in today. BRAND new, super comfy... kinda felt like a town car or somthing from the back. anyways, we went down to the river that runs through calgary and grabbed a booster juice and had a long walk through a beautiful park along the river. it was good times. then we went back to ryan's place and ordered some pizza and hung out. it was relaly nice to see him again.
so yeah, great day. seems like this new adventure is on a good roll. we are really excited and totally appreciate any prayer thats being given up for us... we are excited but still nervous. :)
sorry i dont have any pics from today, i left the camera in the car... maybe tomorrow.
hope you are all having a good day too!
