House Hunting in Red Deer

The search is on and has been on for awhile. The next few weeks though it is REALLY ON!! I really don't like searching for a place to live because I know everything I say and do is being judged on whether we will be good tenants. Which of course we are. Packing is such a pain especially with a baby that would rather be held then put down and Benjamin who undues everything that we pack. Oh well I really am grateful for Joe to have a good job to go to before school is done. That is such a relief.

Just for Diana's benefit I made sure not to start my blog off with so..... because apparently that is how all of my blog's start. Thanks for the tip Diana.

For all of those non Atwood's who read this Joe's family is so blessed to have 2 and soon to be 3 missionaries in the field. Ron who is in Peru seems to be baptising a bunch of people every week, Mandy who is in Arizona hates the heat has had a run in with a tarantula and is converting people galore, and Jon who will be leaving for Houston in July. It is wonderful to get weekly letters updating us from the field.

Our little family is so blessed as well. I love Canada and all the support they give out to families who need it. Mat leave is wonderful and so is getting more money than originally expected. I couldn't imagine only getting 3 months and having to go back to work in such a short period of time.

William don't be mad if you read this but you need some prayers this week even if everything turns out fine. William, Joe's youngest brother, is going in for a Cat Scan Thursday. He had lost his glasses and needed a new pair so he went in to get one and the optometrist noticed some sort of abnormality. Well what he saw makes him believe that fluid is not draining properly from his brain and he needs to get a Cat Scan to see what is happening. Hopefully everything is fine.
