Home Sweet Home



Ok so here is our new place....we are the middle one....there are more pics on my facebook page of the inside etc.. we signed the lease today and we move in later this month...we are so pumped and so excited...now I need to share something with you about our landlord Jason.....we had never met before we started dealing on this place....none of our friends knew him, we had zero connections to him....we checked out the place and really liked what we saw, we talked with Jason a bit and basically laid it all out on the table, money was tight, kids were moving, times were tough but getting better. He said that all they wanted were good renters, they just really wanted good people in their townhouse...we talked about the damage deposit and how it would be tough to come up with it all for March 1st and he said to us many times that they were flexible and just wanted the right people....so we took a couple days to talk and budget and decided that this was the place to start the next chapter in our lives....I emailed him back and said if they were willing to hold it, empty, for a month that we'd take it.....he said they were waiting to hear from us before they let anyone else know if it was available, so they took a chance on us and I can't believe that they'd do that for total strangers...there are some great people in this world, everywhere, even Altona, I know I needed to get out but there are some great people there that I've met, are my friends and I wouldn't change it for the world but when you move away from a comfort zone were people know you, which is good and bad, you're pretty much out on your own and in walks some awesome people in your life willing to take a chance...pretty pumped, pretty blessed, my life is far from ordinary or perfect but it's my life, I'll take the good with the bad, I'll make good and bad decisions but live with them all.....it's not always easy, but sometimes, you find that needle in a haystack....


hmmmm was trying to add another pic but it's being a butt.....we had the Redbull Crashed Ice Sask qualifier at our rink today, basically they come out and you have a bit of an obsticale course and out of the 50 plus guys we had out they take the top 4 times....winning time was 12.5 seconds and the programs director at our rink was 29th with a 13.2..so overall not too bad, kinda cool to see them out on the ice, they had a DJ out there crankin some tunes, they also had a ladies division and some of them could kick my butt, they was even some girls wearing cooperalls..man I haven't seen those since Dalmeny High days lol......

So I think I have a full day off from the rink tomorrow....thinking a movie and dinner with my girl as we will soon have no time or money for ourselves....have a great weekend everyone

see ya when I see ya.....
