Big Hello from Mike

Hello, Hello, Hello,


Things are going well , No I have no new about the jobs in Calgary. I am hoping to hear Monday. I feel now that I have not heard in two weeks that I did not get the jobs.

My training is now on the taper, this means that I will be running less until the marathon. I will be leaving on the 8th of December and back on the 23rd. I am looking forward to this so much. It has been a long time since I have had a holiday and longer since I have had one alone.

Will try to keep you up to date, I will logon when I am in Hawaii and update when I can.


Take care,


Mike

Hi Family

Thought I should let everyone know about my latest travels. On Tuesday the 9th I had a couple of teeth filled then took off for Swift Current. I stayed there until Friday. I had a great visit with Zane and Pam and Carter. Pam showed me around SC and also the piece of property they plan on building a house on. It has a wonderful view of the hills and river. Carter is developing his speech and imagination skills each day. It blew me away to see him sit in his chair and watch wheel of fortune and jeopardy, for a full hour. I would love to be able to read his mind to find out what attracts him to these two programs. The only other thing that keeps his attention for very long is Veggie tales. I left SC on Friday morning and went to Regina to see Mike. Lynn from Australia had sent the family tree she was working on at the party in Aug. Mike will get it all into the computer. Sean and William were with Mike as is was his weekend with them. Megan was out of town visiting one of her friends so I did not get to see her. Mike and I went to the casino for a couple of hours. It did not take us long to lose our allowances, The boys are fastly developing into young men They both look down at me. I think they will be quite tall. I had a nice time with them. I left Regina on Saturday afternoon . I am glad I did as the southern part of the province had a bad snow storm. I also had to work on Sunday. Jim arrived here on Monday for the conference he will be speaking at tomorrow(Thursday). He is speaking with a co-worker , Bruce , on employment in the community for the disabled. I am going to sneak in to hear the talk.. Will close now Loads of Love

Hello everyone, just a quick note to bring you up to date.

I am still running, our training has us up to 32km. This run went well and I did a negative split, this means that I ran the second half (16km) faster than the first half.

I did a speed run of 23km in two hours. This will make it a 5:22 per km. I am hoping for an even 5:00.

I was had a pair of shoes that were not right and now I am out for 3 days as I have a sore heel.

I am almost finished my fundraising, only about $400.00 to go. This I will make up with my overtime.

I have booked an extra 10 days in Maui. Looking forward to this very much.

I have also applied for a job in Calgary, I had an interview and they have call my references so I was at least short listed. I will make about 10 - 15 thousand more a year than I am making now.

I will keep you informed.

I'm on my way.

Hey everyone. I finaly have some news to put on here. I booked my plane ticket to Peru.
I leave on January 18th. I'm very excited and will be working hard until i leave.

Hello from Zane

Hi everyone.

Sorry it took so long to get on this blog. I actually forgot about it. I know I know, I am the one that wanted a blog and forgot!!! Boy oh Boy, I guess the weather down here makes you forgetful.

Things here are going good. I am working hard. I have sold a few houses so it feels good. Pam is still at home and trying to figure out what she wants to do. Carter is great, growing like crazy. He is starting to run so we have to watch him. We went out trick or treating last night. Carter had some fun, but was scared of some of the decorations on the lawns. I am sure he will get over it by next year.

We bought some land about 1 km south of Swift. It is 2.5 acres and we are quite excited as we will be building next year. There is no trees on the land so we have quite a bit of work to do on it. It should be fun though. It has a gorgeous view of speedy creek and some rolling hills. I think it will be awesome for Carter when he gets older.

Well I should get back to work. Take care everyone.

Zane
