Of Snow, Job Applications, and Spring

Yup that's right it snowed here this morning. None of it stayed on the ground but the 'rain' was suspiciously 'thick' and white-ish. The long awaited kitchen is soon to be ours. The electrician is coming tomorrow to put the plug in the wall for the stove and the stove is supposed to arrive tomorrow too! The down side to this whole kitchen thing is that we have lost all the nuts and bolts to our table and chairs. Without them our dining set is useless so.... if anyone has seen a yogurt container with odd nuts and bolts in it... please let us know :). We're short a few :).

John is still enjoying his job, and I have so far handed out 2 resumes with another to go out today. We had a wonderful easter time here in the valley. We went to an Easter production at Willingdon church with my uncle Stan and then had a massive meal with John 'n' Helen and Trent 'n' Nicole. My aunt Helen always goes a little crazy when she's cooking for company so this time she certainly outdid herself once again.

Of spring, John tried his hand at pruning on Monday. He did some reading online and then went to work on the apple and plum trees in our yard. There are still 3 more tree's to go but we think he did a pretty good job on the 2 he did get done. If any of you have some tips on pruning please let us know :).

That's all of an update that I've got for now, hope you all had wonderful Easter's!

Beginning of Spring in Chilliwack

So today in my miles of free time I decided to take some pictures of the trees in our yard to show how spring is coming down here. The first one is of one of our apple trees! I can't wait until I have apples to make into yummie pies.

The Job Hunt Begins

Ok, so after a week and a half in Chilliwack, and not much unpacking ready to be done, I'm getting a little stir crazy. :) So I think it may be time to get a job. John's loving his job (every minute of it) and I would love to think that both of us could be that blessed so... I'm hunting. The problem is that I REALLY don't know what I want. I know that I don't want to head back into insurance, and well of course MacDonald's is out of the picture, I decided that Starbucks just wasn't my style, and well what does that leave? I'm thinking about looking into temping if they have an agency in town, but I haven't seen one advertised anywhere yet. Maybe I'll take some clases at the University College of the Fraser Valley??? But what would I take??? So many decisions. I just don't know. I'm still interested in something photography but I'm a chicken and don't really know how to start into that. I've tracked down a few photographers in the area but I couldn't quite pull myself to email them just yet. We'll see. Maybe I'll take a photography class first.

Anyways, that's whats new with us today :)
