Riding up to see Jo-Ben and Rod to Wabasca

well, on wednesday i drove up to three hills (about 3 hours north of Medicine Hat where i live) and met up with Ethel (jobens boss' (Rod) wife) and their three kids Jannae, Brock and Lincon. We then drove through Red Deer (did some stuff) and then off to Leduc where we spent the night. The next day we drove through Edmonton (did some more stuff) and then up to Slave Lake (did some more stuff there) and FINALLY to Wabasca where Jo-Ben and Rod are working and have been working since the begining of Jan. (i posted some pics of the kids in teh back seat (lincon is the one wearing my touque thinking hes SO funny... he is:) and Brock and Jannae are the other two) they are awesome kids but over 10 hours in a car with three kids 7 and under in the backseat is pretty wearing. Jo-Ben and i have been able to spend some time together out here after work and yesterday their truck wouldnt start in the morning so he had the morning off too which was awesome.... not much to do out here way up north. there is basicly a big brand new rec center where we go every day with the kids to keep them from going nuts and one resteraunt (the burgar barron) where we go for dinner and then the guys come home from work. we are leaving tomorrow morning which sucks bug time but as i have said before i would have driven all the way up here even if i got to see joben for 5 mins. plus its almost half over so thats encouraging... joben and i were apart for 36 days which is by far the longest since we have known each other. it was crazy hard but now we wont see each other for another like three weeks and then i think i am going to see him again and then after a couple of more weeks he will be done his out of town work for this year! yay! anyways, right now im watching charlotes web with the boys while ethel took jannae swiming... shes in swim club and training for her next swim meet and shes wayyyyyy better at swimming than i am and shes only 7. crazy kid. anyways... ill try to get some pics of joben and i to put up althogh they wont be terribly exciting considering where we are (nowheresville!) till next time...
