October

We've had a busy October, with lot's of change. We were blessed to spend Thanksgiving holiday with my side of the family. We went to Calgary to pick up Shelley from the airport Thursday night, met my parents there as well, and crashed in a hotel and woke up early to pick up Jason at the Edmonton airport for 9am. Then we headed to Lloydminster to show the house, and then up to Bonnyville for supper. Those days were kinda crazy...but the rest of the weekend, we put our feet up! Unfortunately, just before the weekend, Brad had lost his job...he wasn't enjoying it very much anyways, and the job description had changed a lot over the last few months. He was on call a lot, and away from home a lot. So it was for the better...however, that does put us in a sticky situation for Brad to get a job before the house is ready, so that we can still get the house...SO, YOUR PRAYERS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. (on a side note, he did have an interview this past Thursday, and it looks good)

The next weekend, was promise keepers, which Brad was helping put on. It was a successfull event with close to 300 men attending. As well, we dedicated Autumn at church on Sunday. It was great to see so many other families on the stage commiting to raise their child in the way of the Lord and asking the church to support them.
The following weekend, I went to Edmonton with Laura and Liam, to meet mom and Shelley, who were travelling to West Edmonton Mall with the youth group. We had some fun shopping, going on rides(cause the kids were free with an adult, who also got to ride free!!) and enjoyed the waterpark. We were all pretty exhausted. And this weekend we are carving a pumpkin and making cupcakes(those pictures are still to come). We took a drive to the new house to take a look, and were excited to see the basement, it's so big!!
This is the view of the basement as you come down the stairs...hard to see but there's so much space to the left too....there's our bathtub sitting in the middle!
Even with a very busy October, we are constantly reminded of the promises of God, and continue to trust Him as Brad's looks for a good job, and as we continue to build our home.
"IN HIS HEART A MAN PLANS HIS COURSE,
BUT THE LORD DETERMINES HIS STEPS"
PROVERBS 16:9

oh....and it wouldn't be October in Alberta without snow....
