Has anyone else ever experienced the test of one's patience while waiting for a repair peron to show up? I feel like today has been the longest day of waiting.
Soon our internet will be working much better...that is if someone ever shows up.
Ok, enough of the rant.
Today I heard about my dream job. You know how much I enjoyed caring for the 3 kiddos this past summer. Well there is another nanny job opening. The commute again would be a distance but it would be worth it, and David said it would be ok with him as long as he could come down and golf...LOL. Donna in North Carolina is looking.

Adjustments of Life
As we prepare to head into the fall we have been thinking about what this new season will look like.
Our student from Hong Kong, Brian, has arrived and been with us for about a week. It was fun meeting his Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Grandfather, Father and Mother. Brian's English is quite good, actually better than we had expected so that has helped in the transition. He will be starting high school on the 31st and his mother is planning to stay for a few more days until she is certain that he is settled. It is going to be a fun year having him here with us. One of the girls, who will live downstairs has also arrived just today and then the other we will pick up at the airport on the 31st. Soon everyone will be in the settling mode.
Our house is looking more in order and cozy. Trying to set up a work space for scrapbooking is still on the "to do" list and we are planning to do abit more painting and yardwork. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished.
The next adjustment will be the second week of Sept. when things get going at the college again. Sonya plans to take 3 courses this fall. The reading and writing paper assignments will soon commence and we will head into fall full swing.

Random Thoughts
OK, ok, we will admit we have been terrible bloggers this summer but hopefully things will change once we get into our fall routine,
Since I got back to Alberta it's been full push ahead trying to get our new little house in order. We plan to have 3 students living with us this fall. 2 girls will be downstairs in the basement suite and 1 young man from Hong Kong will be living upstairs with us. We have always enjoyed hanging out with young adults so we are really looking forward to it. However before they arrive there seems to be a pile of boxes to go through and organize and we are in the midst of a bathroom reno. (No pressure here...yikes) With determination we will be ready.
David has really enjoyed his first year at Totem building supplies. It's hard to believe but yes, we have now been in Camrose for a full year. He survived the storm that hit Big Valley Jamboree. There was quite abit of damage in our whole community but it was a real amazing thing that not more people were killed. There has been alot of support for the family of Donna Moore who was killed.
Soon school will be starting. I'm abit mixed in my emotions about school again this year. I guess as an adult you know that there is life after school and I so want to be just living that life...but I know I have to finish this course. Maybe when I'm not studying there will be time for scrapbooking again?! As I've been unpacking my supplies I am feeling a creative urge coming on.
Well, thats it for now. David and I celebrated 13 yrs this week. We will try and post again soon.
