Another Busy Week

Well it's been another busy week for us. We have managed to move into Dan's brother's place alright. We did our first ikea shop the other day as Dan didn't have much as far as bedroom furniture went plus his mattress had seen better days. So we managed to outfit our bedroom a bit, although we brought home the wrong size bed-frame, silly us! Getting settled alright though. It's good to have Tonka round too. Dan's enjoying having him back. So fun!

We've also managed to get ourselves another car, a more reliable one for a good deal (Gemini will be Dan's back up car when it rains out). It's a '97 VW Golf, red (so it goes faster:) and in top condition. We'll be picking her up on Tuesday this coming week. I'm so excited! She's got air-conditioning! Ace :) Although it's a manual, so I'm going to have to learn how to drive her, watch out! Finally feeling comfortable on the left side of the road though, so it should go alright. Lot's of visiting with family and Dan's old friends over the past week also. Just got back from a family Christmas bbq. Was good to see everyone again and them recognize and welcome me :)

Still in the interview process of finding a job. I'll be hearing back from one tomorrow and then another interview on Tuesday, the other two I had didn't work out for different reasons. Hopefully find a job soon and get some money flow coming to us! Dan will be starting his job (back at the cemetery) either at the end of this week or the beginning of next, so that will be good! Slowly getting there I suppose. It's going to take awhile to get our lives more established here and settled in. Baby steps at the moment, be a bit easier once we both get jobs. It's been a real help having so much family around us, a bit of familiarity. I definitely feel a bit like a dear in the head lights at the moment with so many new things happening, a bit overwhelming at times. Good experience though.

Well, that's it for now. Hope you're all doing well in your own lives. Keep in touch.
