Job shuffles

Along with Ed losing his job and then finding another, my job decided to do a big shake up. A few of us have been moved around to different shifts and/or locations with altered responsibilities throughout the day. I will be leaving a shift that I have worked with since 1998 and moving to the other side. I wonder if its greener over there?

Semester two

As I posted previously, I enrolled at Grant MacEwan College distance Education program. I completed semester one with two courses. After the struggles and issues, I managed to pass both of them. With that experience out of the way, I have enrolled in two more classes. They start January 7th.

First Post in 2008

I hope the new year finds everyone good and well. So here are the latest updates of our lives.

December, Ed began a new adventure of his own in a new job. He is employed with Grief Brothers packaging in Belleville. They make plastic thingys. You'll have to ask him about it since I'm not quite sure.

Eds mom ended up having a hard fall December 14th and has been in the hospital ever since. She broke her arm, and three ribs. Also came to find out she had had a heart attack. We have been in conversation with the hospital and the family. We purchased her a new lift chair for her home, however, we aren't even sure she will make it home.

The Christmas season was busy with visits from friends and family. We had all the kids here off on and together, hockey tournaments, visits from Jamie and Teresa Walt, Gord and Lisa Phillips, and travelled to their places as well as Ken and Pam in Cobourg.

We rang in the New Year at home with Kathy and James Perry and Gord and Lisa. The kids had a blast and it was a very late night.

I have since come down with the flu and have been battling it for a few days now. I tried to make it to work but my co worker would rather work by herself then with me being under the weather. It wasn't until this morning did I actually realize what I had. Needless to say the Christmas decorations are coming down in between naps and energy bursts.

We are at the end of our hockey season for both Kurtis and Sean. Indoor soccer season is just around the corner and Jacob and Jonah have showed interest again. I better get working on those forms then.

My new years resolution is to post more frequently on this site.
