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!

WOW it's been a long time

So sorry it has been such a long time, it's been a busy month for us. I am now done my 5 weeks of training! I am happy about that, the new job is going good, much better than I thought and I am remembering all the things that I need to, which I did not think that I could do!

This last month Sams dad had surgery on his shoulder, so we have been busy with helping them out and on Thurs her grandpa goes in as well, so with people going under the knife it's been busy.

Not much else to tell you, we are almost ready for chirstmas and getting excitied to spend our 1st christmas married together!

I will write more soon, just very busy today! LOve you 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!

Super FULL OF TURKEY!!

Ahhh I'm nice and full of Turkey and stuffing mmmm I love thanksgiving and how good it tastes. Sat I had dinner at my brothers house and Sun I had dinner with Sams family, and I had left overs for dinner tonight! I don't eat it too often put when I do, I go all out!! The crappy thing is that I had to work tonight, but on a brighter note I get paid hoilday pay today, it was really slow tonight so I got paid to do hardley anything. Can't complain!!

The weather has been nice and warm these last few days, far cry from a few weeks ago, been having the windows open, I will take it while I can, cuz some parts of canada have lots of snow, I am so not ready for that! I which we could skip winter this year!

Well I am kinda tired and I have to wake up in the morning, it's the big Vote day tomorrow, which I am so going to do, I do not want the same people in government anymore time for a change.

Things changed, not what you expect!

So, somethings have changed, and not what you think. I am no longer going to work at the casino, things were not as they seemed, it was just that my friend wanted to quit and that raised a lot of questions about if I wanted to go there and I guess his boss was a total tool! But in good news I still have my current job, infact that is good news. I am going to be making more money, and I am going to become a shift supervisor. So I will be able to tell people what to do. HAHAHA

So that she be taken place in a couple of weeks, which I hope it happens a bit sooner than that, I have to talk to my GM tomorrow to figure the stuff out! So it's good/bad news all in one but at least I don't have to drive that far!!

Still Kicking

Well not much has happened in the last little bit. Just trucking along with life. I have about a week left of my old job, which I think I might miss a bit, only if it paid more. I work a shift at my new job tomorrow, so I hope that goes well!

Sam's Birthday was on Sat the 4th. The fam took her out to dinner and we had a get together for her. It was a really good day for her.

Keeping busy, I wish I had more spare time, since it seems I don't have time for much these days, I just got the floors washed which I wanted done like last week!

I am so tired right now, have to to to work at 8pm and work a night shift, plus cook dinner and finish as much as a can today since I am not going to be getting a day off anytime soon! Man I just want to laze around one day and not go ANYWHERE!!!! Agh to dream! LOL

2 WEEKS GIVEN!!!

GOOD NEWS!!! THE REALLY GOOD JOB IS MINE!!!!!!!! My last day is Oct 15th than I start my new job after that. But for the next 2 weeks my days off I am working at the new job to train so when I start I will know what I am doing!!! So 2 weeks of being crazy, but it will be so worth it. Ah I feel soo much better, now Sam and I will be able to really start saving for our house! YIPPY!!!

It's looking good!

Ok, so I went for the job inteview with my friend! It's in the new casino in the falls! Oh my goodness, you think I came from the sticks of something, I could not stop looking around at everything, I was like a tourist! LOL it's kinda funny since I should have been thinking about the task at hand.

So I had the interview, I thought it went bad, so I was mopping, and to top it off I had to work a 10 hr shift, by this morning had a head ache called in sick for work cuz I would have been useless.

But I got a phone call, it was from the place, he wanted me to work TONIGHT!!! I was like DUH!! I could not speak I was so dumbfounded! It was horrible, so I told he I could not make it in tonight, which to start I would have been working anyways! If that makes anysense at all. So I have to call him tomorrow, he did say he wants me to start! So it's a good thing. I just have to tell him that I still have to give my notice at my current job!

So I am thinking if I lose this job because I have to give 2 weeks, I think I might just have to work 2 jobs for 2 weeks. Cuz I can't let this go at all! I would shoot myself! Agh, I can't stop thinking how good this is going to be for us, sure I have to drive 25mins to work instead of 5, but when I am going to make that much more, it sure out weighs everything!!!

Now we are still waiting for Sammys news. Her resume was just taking in today. Her friend helped her make a wicked resume and cover letter, I mean it makes my baby sound like a million bucks! So I am hoping for her.

I can't wait to start this new job, I am tired of making one penny turn into two to make us stay ahead! Agh so can't wait. Man I really need to go to the store tomorrow, we have nothing to eat in here! LOL

I think our Luck is starting to change

So I thinking that things are getting better, our at least I hope it is. So turns out that the job may be happening for me, I have to go tomorrow to drop off my resume, but my friend told them about me, and they are going to give me on the spot interview, so I hope that it goes well. I can't even think how much this job will change our lives. I can cry because it will help out more than I can explain.

And to top it off, Sam got a call from the same couple, her friend Rose works at a bank, and they are hiring as well. So she is trying to get her in. Now is that happens, oh my goodness, life will be soo much better. I hope it goes well.

I guess we are just tried of crappy jobs with crappy pay and worker hard to make what money we have go as far as possible.

But even if this does happen I am trying not to get my hopes up. It just seems like we always have to struggle, I just tried of that, we are trying so hard. Agh I just hope it all goes well.

Well I have to get going to my crappy job, man it's going to me a long night, I really hate this shift, well I hope these shifts will not go on for much longer.

Week of drama almost at an end

Well what started last friday as something easy and normal has dragged for a week tomorrow. The drama is my furnace! It started last feb when I moved into our place, after about 2 weeks of living here, our lovley cozy place became an icebox, the furnace went, the guy came and got it going, but we got the news that our furnace would not make it another winter.

Now being that winter is coming quickley upon us the time came for it do be done, that is what started my friday. They came in the morning, took the old one out, put the new one in, and said they would be back on mon to finish it. Mon came, and almost went, I got a knock on the door, it was them, but differant people, I had to leave for work, but they did nothing. Than came tues, same thing. Wed, the main boss came to my house, not after me calling and being nasty that this was taking way to long, and I did not like that fact that I am sitting at home waiting for them. So he at least got the thing working, not like I would use it any way, I don't want to pay high gas bills yet, I just want the mess gone! So to my horror, he said he had to order a couple of things and he would get back to us in a couple of days. So I did not want to wait around anymore, so I did the things I had to do on my last day off of the week. You thing people would call or something, no I got a note in the door saying sorry we missed you, we will be by in the morning to finish up! So help me, if I wake up early for no reason tomorrow, and this thing is not done, Mikey is not going to be very happy!!

I just want my place back to normal and the mess gone and the strange people to stop knocking on my door daily! Agh, I hope tomorrow really is the last day. And to top this week off, I went to my grandma's today while she is in London, to check on the place, and the dang cat got out! The thing would not come back, so I think I lost her cat! I left a note for the person taking care of the cat to call it when they got there! I really do not want to tell my grandma when she get's home that I lost her cat!!! AHHHHHH Hurry up and finish week!!!!

Tired and full of questions!

Well just finished another day of work, and I am soo tired, those shifts feel like days by the time I get to leave. So Sam and I had some friends over last night and I was offered something that I don't think I can pass up right now. He offered me a job as a cook making way more money than I am right now, I mean like double of what I am making, which I can never make where I am, but at the same time I want to find something that I went to school for agh, it's so confusing!

But after thinking about it all day, I think I am going to go for it, I wait for the call on fri to see if it's a go still, and if so, I might have a new job in a couple of weeks. The way I think of it right now, making that much more money will make our dream of owning our own home that much closer, so if I have to wait for my dream job a couple more years, I am going to do it. I think it will be much better for us, I will have the same hours all the time, which is the part I love the most. I guess I am growing up, not just me anymore , there is also my Sammy to think of as well. But the more I think of it, the more I feel better about it. So now that I know that I am going to go for it, I just hope is all goes as planed now, and I am not getting my hopes up!

Well tomorrow I have the day off and I am going out shopping for Sams b-day gift! Oct 4th my baby turns 22! Man that is coming up fast LOL!

ok its us

Don't be fooled that we act normal, we are far from that, this is how we are most of the time, and that is what brings us together! So I thought I would give a History about about me and the Mrs.

Sam (Samantha) and I met in high school through a friend, we started dating had lots of fun together but when I was almost done school, sam broke up with me and we lost contact! I went on my mission and came home and went to school. While I was almost done school I joined facebook, and after awhile I found Sam on it and we started talking again. Well we went out for dinner one night to get caught up and chat. Well we starting hang out every couple of weeks to every week to every time we were not busy we were with eachother. Than we became more than friends in about March of 2007 for the second time around. The more time we spent together the harder it was for us to be apart. That is when I knew that my Sammy was the one for me. So I went out and bought the ring that she did not know about, which really worked out, while her ring was getting sized I lost my job which made her not even think that she was going to get one. The funny thing is how I proposed. I got a call one day that my poor Sammy was rushed to the hospital from work because she stoped breathing. While I was seeing her everyday because I was off work, and being her nurse making sure she was taking her meds to get over what she had, I got a call that her ring was in. The day I did it I had to do some running around before going to see her, she called me and asked me to bring some ginger ale with me. So when I got to her place she was asleep on the sofa I put the ginger ale on the table and kneeled down beside her and gave her a kiss. Half out of it she said hi, and as she was waking up I said marry me and she said of course. not knowing I had the ring, we often talked about getting married, but this time I said no, I mean it this time, will you marry me, this time I pulled out a little white box and opened it up and showed it to her. AS she looked at it, her eyes filled with tears and as she yelled yes, yes, yes, I put the ring on and gave her a big kiss. Since then we have not left one anothers side. Its crazy when you find that someone that completes you in more ways than one.

Well that is the story behind us, I promise its not all gross tha ga ga, just wanted to have a starting point into our lives.

Thought I would try this

Ok so I never try things like this but since I seem to spend most of my life working and never being able to call people out write I thought this would be a good idea, at least I hope I can keep up on this. So I married the women of my dreams on June 14th of this year, and we have never been happier.

Rght now me and Smantha are living in a nice 2 bedroom upper apartment in the middle of the town of Fort Erie Ontario. We love it here! WE just got the place to how we want it, other than the spare room, I am saving it for a winter project! We are planning on staying here until we can buy a place of our own, we like it that much, plus there is room to grow if need be! Not saying there is a baby on the way, too soon for that. Right now we are working crappy jobs but something is in the works for me to get something better soon. Well thats it for now.
