Our Girls




















Just thought I would update my blog today. Some pics of the girls. We are doing pretty good. Vayda seems to be adjusting to school and our new life up here pretty well. She started a jazz class yesterday and she had so much fun. She was very nervous, but got through it. I am so proud of her cause there have been so many changes in our lives over the past month, actually over the past 10 months.

It actually started back in January, friends of my parents phoned us to see if we interested in buying their 2 acre lot in Summerland. John has always loved that lot and mentioned to them years ago that if they ever decided to subdivide to give us a call. We pretty much agreed to buy it over the phone we were so excited. Didn't know how we would do it all, but we were determined to and that is the reason we are now living in Fort St. John. Maybe doesn't make sense, but we decided we should make some money and go where the work is and than come back in a few years to build our dream house. So that is pretty much the reason we are up here.

So Vayda has had a lot changes happening, but the most important thing is that we are together as a family. We tried for John to work out of town and us stay in Summerland, but that really sucked. Atleast we can be together this way.

There are so many programs for the kids here in Fort St. John. Tessa is going to Gymnastics and Swimming. Vayda is doing skating and jazz and she also started sparks. We are trying to stay busy, cause John will be so busy this winter that we will need to have things to do. It is also a great way to for me to meet other moms. We have been so lucky, these past 9 years we have been in one place and we have met so many great people. We are used always doing things and visiting with other families. I am for sure missing that, but I know it won't be long and we will be meeting some more great people, and then we will be moving back to Summerland. lol.

Our good friends Jenn and Rob and their daughter Katie are also moving to Fort St. John. I can't wait. In three weeks they will be here. I am so excited, I just can't hide it. YEah!!! I will know someone, and not just anyone but one of my very best friends. Vayda and Katie are best of friends as well, so that works for all of us. Gives me a scrapbooking buddy and JOhn a hunting buddy (Rob). So good luck packing your house, and I can't wait to help you unpack when you get here.

So that is it, Hope everyone has a great weekend. We are going to sell Girl Guide Cookies and go swimming and skating. So we will have fun. Take care.

Love the new pictures. It is good for the girls to stay busy and you WILL be busy especially with Sparks. Aliah was in Guides and Brownies and it can be pretty involved, but in a good way. Thanks for the 145 pictures today!! Just kidding- dont think it was that many. Speaking of scrapbooking, there are some wonderous new papers out there (maybe youve seen them) from Daisy D and.... cant remember the name. i will send you a link. I am in love with paper again.

Hi to John and the girls-
