Nothing better to do...

Up north there is nothing better to do that sit around in a laundry basket. Just kidding! We've actually been trying to get out of the house everyday. The weather has been great (about 16-18 everyday). The only problem with that is that the bugs are now starting to come out. Nothing major yet, but I can imagine what is about to come.

We went to the Alliance church on Sunday. The service was incredibly boring, but there were so many people our age there. They say the service is not usually like that, so we will try again on Sunday. Today, Jacob and I went swimming at the pool. The schedule said it was parent and tot time, so I thought I might meet some young moms. Nope! There was one girl with a 4 year old, and then an elementary school class doing swimming lessons. I did find out that there is a park not too far away, so I guess I'll have to hang out there to meet people.

My other thought was to possibly get on a sublist for some daycares in town. Turns out there is only 3 daycares here, and I think they are all family ones in peoples home. Maybe that is a reason that I am here. To start up a quality child care centre. That would be a great way for me to meet people. It is something I would need to think about and research because I dont want to work full time and I still want to come home as often as possible.

Anyway, that's what's happening here. I hope you are all doing well.

Bye for now.

Our new home

Well, we made the long trip up North. The drive was very long. We took three days to get here, a little less than 20 hours driving total. Considering the long, boring days, Jacob travelled very well. I am glad though to finally be here, and get back onto a schedule. Above is the apartment that we will live in temporarily until we can buy a house here. Our apartment is the second story patio on the right hand side. You can see our truck in the parking lot on the right. As you can see, there isn't that much snow here anymore. The weather is actually very mild. Everything is very wet and muddy though because of all the melting snow. The next few pictures are of the inside of the apartment. We are squishing everything into a one bedroom apartment, but it seems to work. All three of us are sharing a bedroom. So far it is working out just fine. My main complaint right now is that I havent been able to do a load of laundry because there is always someone else using it.
This is the bedroom that the three of us share.

Kitchen, dining room, entry door is on the left.

Living room, door to patio.

You may wonder why the door is open and Jacob is only wearing a onesie. They keep the heat in the apartment hallway so hot, that it heats the apartment so much. Our heat is off, and we are just cooking in here. And you all thought we would be cold!

It has been a nice transition for us. Jason has not gone back to work yet, so we have worked together to unpack and get settled. He will go back to work tomorrow, and they say that they should be able to keep him fairly busy. I will go and check out the Alliance church on Sunday, and hopefully we can find some other things to do during the week.

Hope you're all enjoying the Okanagan sun. We miss you all already.

Love you!!!!!!!!!!!

Jacob's Last Day of Daycare

Jacob has really enjoyed his time at daycare. It took him a little while to get used to the fact that I couldn't pick him up whenever he wanted, but now he does just fine. He seems to really like other children, and copies everything. He learned how to climb up and go down the slide just from watching the other kids do it.

Here he is giving the kids goodbye hugs. I think that he will be missed by the

other children as much as he will miss them. It is going to be very nice that we

will get to spend all our time together now, but I think we will both miss daycare

just a little.

Goodbye Friends!
