Well we have been talking alot about moving into something bigger and better so we could have space to grow our family, but for now that is on hold.
My job everyweek is getting harder and harder to cope with, so much stress and so much to do and so little pay for all the crap that I have to deal with. Plus it seems I am always working nights so I never get to see my Sammy anymore, which really sucks, somedays I see her for 20mins, sometimes it's 2 days before I get to see her, so a crappy job and not seeing my wife is stressing a change in our life.
Many of you know I have my gas ticket, but it does not allow me to work on my own, so I made a choice to get my next one so I can getting a better job doing what I love.
So if it all goes well April I will be in school for 5 days a week and working part time. I know it will be crazy but it's only for 12 weeks, and after that I can start looking for work.
These last few months are just going down hill for me. Nothing is going right and this is one thing that I hope works out. I just want to finish school and get a new job. I am tired of nights.
So right now Sammy and I are penny pinching to a whole new level this year, paying off as many things as we can, which we are doing really well in, and saving money like mad so we can make it 12 weeks with me not really working. Sammy wants me to do this so much she said that she is willing to get a 2nd job to help me finish school. So much love my Sammy has!
So we are both hoping for a good start to the new year, no more flat tires, major car reapirs, people wanting to take you to the labor board and have to fired no more F*&ING crap that I've had to put up with the last few months.
I really hope things change, as I told Sammy, I really don't know how much more I can take, I really can't, some days I just want to give up.
Well here's to hope in the new year!!

Way way overdue
So where do I begin????
Well to cut it short since I last time I wrote, we moved into a much bigger place, which we liked, I've been working like crazy all summer long, really have not had much a chance to even see my Sammy, so it's been a long summer, if you can call it a summer, it was only hot for 2 weeks, makes me wonder how winter will be this year.
So this year Sammy and I took a vacation, I for once said forget the money I could be making, and spent my time having fun.
So other than working lots of overtime, and having lack of sleep, that brings me to the current day.
I am starting to find it stressful at work, with the way people are losing jobs, my keeps on getting harder and lots more is expected of me, so it's getting hard to keep it up now.
I am in the process now applying for school for Jan 2010! This way I can finish my gas ticket and get a job for summer in my field! Which would be super super nice, and this way I would be out of the fast food world!
So we like we are living, it's much better than our last place, much cheaper to live a month and it's really gotten us on a feet, so it's been a good move. But we are really wanting to move again, we need more space and we no longer want to share a drive way with 3 other people and have all the traffic that comes with it.
A friend of the family is willing to sell us there house for a good price, it's a 3 bed 2 bath house with lots of room to grow, nice area and the house is only 14 years old. So we are hoping all goes well, cuz this is a dream home, we can see us starting a family in this house. So we are starting that, so I hope it goes well, and that we saved enough now to do this.
Also this summer, I bought Sammy and front loading washer and dryer, man I love them. They are the coolest things every, the best money we every spent.
Well I should go, need to go to bed!

It's been crazy!
So, it's been a long time since I gave an update, but life has been so crazy busy, and I just keep hoping that one day it might just slow down.
It seems I spend all my life at work and one of my days off doing wash at the in-laws. So really I have only 1 day a week to do whatever I wish, and that does not work half the time! LOL
So we had some fun the last week, out water heater gave up, and of course I was in the shower when it went cold, so we went 2 days with no hot water, so driving all around to family to shower. So the day came to get our water heater replaced, but at the same time I had to take Sam's car to the shop, so I had to find someone to babysit the house. After a mouth dropping car repair, I came home and took over the babysitting. So after they were done, they could not get the water to flow back upstiars, so we went from having no hot water to no running water at all in the house! And you have no idea how bad I had to use the washroom! So about an hour later we have water again, and everything is good, in a couple of hours you will have hot water again! By this time I just wanted to shower in my house. So we went out for dinner with Sams parents, came home and watched a movie, then I was getting ready for bed, since I had to open the next day, and I heard something, to my horror, there was water everywhere! One of the pipes they worked on was leaking like crazy, so after that, we had no running water in the bathroom! it would have not been so bad, if I did not have to open the next day!
But now it's all fixed and we have hot water again, so after a crappy week, we have nice hot water yet again!
At the same time, we are trying to gear up for moving, the place we like looks like a go, so we are going to look at it and give the word, and it's time for moving!
Agh life never seems to give you a moment! LOL

Major plans in process
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Thought I would cover it all in one post since I don't have much time these days.
So we had a good 1st christmas as a married couple, the time off went by way too quick. It was nice to see Sam as much as I did, I don't get to see her as much as I would like to. But I guess we all have to start at the bottom and work our way up! LOL
So these last few month have been busy for us, with family members going in and out of the hospital and me training and getting ready for chirstmas. But it was worth it, I am happy that I could help my family the way I have the last few weeks. On Dec 26 my inlaws furnace went, so I spent the day fixing it, had the whole bottom of it taken apart, but at least to works now, that is what matters!
So for the big News, The Veltmans may be moving in the next couple of months, we are really looking at some new places to move into. We are starting to bust at the seams here, quickly running out of room, and the number one reason why we are wanting to move... the price of our heating bill has gone out of this world!!! I pay more a month for gas in a 2 bedroom apartment, than most of my family members pay for a full house!!!!! So with our heat turned real low, we are struggling to make in through our harsh canadian winter this year!
WE are looking at a place tomorrow which we both fell in love with, and is in a much better end of town and still really close to work. So if we like it, we are putting a down payment on it, and than comes the fun part of moving!!!
So if all goes well we get the place Feb 1st and might move it Feb 17th and give up our current place March 1st!! This way it gives us time to clean and move and all that fun stuff.
I am going to miss our place, it's done us good, plus it's our first home together, But it's time to move on to something that is better for us and will cost less to run. The way the price of gas keeps going up, it's something that has been on my mind the last couple of months, and this last whopper of a gas bill which my jaw hit the floor with was the factor that made this all start!!
I will try to update you all as soon as I can! I can hardle wait, I just want to know what we will be doing, cuz I hate packing, I am going to need all the time to do it, cuz I might wait till the last min to do it all!

random things
Ok so this is the start of my week as a manager, things are going well, lots of reading I have to do and tests and meetings like crazy. It was a bit crazy cuz all the things are in the process of getting changed to a manager status so I could not log onto anything yesterday I had to carry two cards with me to see which one would swipe one would work on some registers and the other would only work on one. Agh so it was crazy, but by tomorrow it should be all transfered I just hope I can get on the computer tomorrow so I can do the things that I need to. It's odd that I can boss people around, plus I kinda found it overwhelming the amount of questions that I was asked at night by the stuff. I guess I did not get myself ready for that, but it was good, I am just glad I know what I am doing when it comes to the serivice line.
Well since it's getting colder really fast and we have had our first snow fall of the year, I figured today would be a good day to hang up the chirstmas lights before it gets any colder and I do not want to do them. So they are up now all I have to do and plug them in when Dec hits us.
Also today I kinda got depressed now that I know that its getting cold and my furnace is running full steam, I don't want to pay my gas bill, I am so not ready for the high heating bills yet, if it could just wait one more month it would be soo much better. But I am hoping since it's a new furnace I am heating with this year and my bills won't be through the roof like last year. Everytime that I opened my bill I nearly passed out! LOL
So Sam and I got our replacement living room set all picked out after some yelling and some threating satements of me wanting my money back it looks like by the next month I will have the living set that we want, and get the brand new on that we have that's falling apart on us out of my house! I just really want it before chirstmas cuz we are going to have people stay over! Shan you are more than welcome to stay! LOL I will buy you are parka!
Well that is about it for news, we are just trucking along getting by!

GOOD NEWS!!!!!
OK so I know it's been a long time since I wrote last. But life has been a bit crazy this last month, but it seems to be paying off!
NOV 10th 2008 is the date of my promotion!!!!!!!!!! YIPPY!!!!! I got it hands down!!! I knew I had it for the last couple of weeks, but I was waiting for my police check to come back, now that it's back and they see that I am a good boy, I can go up! So that means more money in the pocket! Which will help out a lot!!
So that is my way super good news!!!
In other news of my life, we bought a living room set just before we got married, we love it, but it's starting to fall apart, the sofa has big holes in it already just from the sitting on it! Well turns out they don't make that anymore, so we have to go and pick out a new set free of charge! So it means back to the store for hours with a measure tape and seeing what we can buy! Agh not looking forward to thurs!! LOL
Well time for me to go and make dinner and get ready for work!
