Life happens...

There's been so much talk on here about the house, I should really update everyone on our actual lives...(yes, somehow our lives keep happening even when we eat, breathe, and sleep house renovations).

Frank has officially started his job at the RCMP as of last Monday. He works in the Major Crime department (i.e. murder and rape cases) and is an "information administrator" - which basically means that when a cop doesn't know how to do something with their computer, they ask him to do it. It's a pretty good job, though the subject matter can be a little disturbing at times...but we work in the same building, meaning we can carpool to work.

My job is going very well. I have officially become the helpdesk support person for the whole building, so I am always up and about and talking to people - which is exactly what I want to be doing. It can be frustrating at times, considering the RCMP is full of type "A" personalities that want their computer to work NOW...but I really enjoy it.

My sister has been in town for 2 weeks - she's leaving on Saturday. It's been really fun seeing her again, though it always sucks that she has to go home. She brought home some of the video she's created at school, and they are really awesome. My sisters and I went to go see Cars last weekend, and man, what an awesome creative movie that was! Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I am terribly partial to animated movies. We're having a little family party to celebrate my sisters' 19th birthday tonight, even though their real birthday isn't until July 3rd. *sniff* they're all grown up and everything :)

We are leaving on Friday to go to Matt & Scarlett's wedding in Salmon Arm. I'm so excited for them...I love weddings! I'm going to take a million and a half pictures with my new 2GB SD card I just got! I'm a little worried about Frank, though - he doesn't take too well to the heat, and it's an outside wedding, and he has to wear a tux :) I hope he'll be okay.

On a sadder note, our small group leaders for the past year and neighbors, Kyle & Kirsten, are moving to Saskatchewan this weekend. We are incredibly sad to see them go - we've gotten very close to them and their 5 little girls in a short time. They've been incredible role models to us, also. We will hopefully be helping them pack tomorrow, we'll see how that goes.

Whew! I told you lots was happening! More pictures of the house to come soon, I hope.
