New to the world of blogging, but here I go...
Okay, I'll start with a little about us. Pete's currently in school at the U of L; he graduated with a degree in finance about 5 years ago, but has been floundering since, unsure of a career direction. He had been installing cabinets when he decided that chartered accounting was for him. So, back to school for the additional 8 courses needed. Hopeful completion date: June '07
I am an emergency room nurse in the Lethbridge hospital. I love my job. The sicker, bloodier and grosser the better. Not that I wish illness on anyone, but if you're gonna get sick, I'm your woman.
We live in a trailer park in Coaldale. I'm sitting here in a mumu with curlers in my hair. Pete has just finished beating me, my blood splatters on his aptly-named wife-beater. That's okay, I should have listened the first time. You know, he just informed me today why my feet are shorter than his: it's so I can stand closer to the sink! Makes sense, doesn't it?
Seriously, we are very blessed. We have a great marriage and it keeps getting better. Sure, we have our quabbles, but they always bring us closer. We've been able to do alot of travelling...Mexico twice, California for 3 months, Michigan for 5 weeks, England for 2, and Mexico again in February D.V.
We both love sports. Pete plays in a men's hockey league in Lethbridge (he's pretty good, I might add). I play hockey with a bunch of women from the church, and I try to get out and play shinny hockey once or twice a week with some fellas in Lethbridge. I'm not very good, but they're good sports about letting me come out and skate with them. I also play soccer in an indoor league. Pete's got his golf and baseball in the summer, and I have my waterskiing and outdoor soccer. Keeps us busy.
Other than that, not much to us. Spend time with the family, love having friends over (I love to cook!), gardening, scrapbooking, helping out with church stuff. The Lord has blessed us in so many ways. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in our daily lives, but it's so amazing when you really stop and think why we're even here on this earth.
So, anyone out there, feel free to "blog" us (is that the right term?) Look forward to hearing from you!

I love when old friends strt blogging. It makes me feel reconnected to them. I'm so glad you guys are happy in your marriage. Next time i'm in Lethbridge we HAVE to get together. Or... maybe you should make a trip to Summerland....we have great beaches!! :) You know we'd love to have you!!
Oh yeah, to add links you have to get into the "template" section of your blog and there's usually a spot to add links. Or you can ask the blogger "help" section.
I am afriend of a friend of a friend from christy. A CA is a great profession i used to work at a firm in lethbridge as a technician for Blanchette Van Dyk Valgardson. They were a great firm to work for. If your husband is going to article with a firm i would advise him to use a smaller firm, you get MUCH more 'rounded' experience in all the different fields. A larger firm tends to put you in only one area. Thats my humble opinion. Ester
Dear friend of a friend, thanx so much for your input on the CA profession - its always nice to hear how others obtained their designation. I (this is Pete) actually have an articling position lined up with MNP. They are mid-sized I guess, but they seem very geared towards helping students obtain their designation. I was actually told by many that the really small firms offered less services in this regard?!?! I'm sure that any place other than the big four that herd their students through like cattle are quite well-rounded and provide excellent environments. Anyways, thanx again for your comments.
