Back down to southern Alberta!

The last few days have seemed like a whirlwind of driving. Joe's brother Jon went through the temple for the first time on Friday and we went down for that. Since we were already driving through Calgary we went to the Zoo and Benjamin had lots of fun. He really liked the "Tiggers". We called them tigers but most of the time Ben called them Tiggers which was really funny to hear. I enjoyed seeing the Sting Rays the most just because I don't remember seeing them before.

Benjamin fell out of the bed on Thursday night onto Joe (we were on an air mattress) at 2:30 am and didn't go back to sleep until he fell asleep giving Leslie a hug while watching a movie sometime Friday afternoon. That's right AFTERNOON!!!!!! He slept better Friday night but we put him down asleep in the play pen and Kaleb slept on blankets on the floor.

The temple was nice not just for being there for Jon but we also were able to seal Susie's dad to his parents, Susie's parents to each other, and Susie to her parents. Which was really special to be there for.

Red Deer

We have moved to Red Deer and are liking it. Our place is alright it has some things wrong with it but I think we are really going to like it here. Today a contrator came over to look at some of the issues with the place and one of them is that our old cupboards seem to be sinking in the middle. When I told the landlord about them I thought they might just try and resupport them somehow (seriously I do not renovate nor think I can ever properly renovate anything). When he was over here today the onsite manager asked him to price out new cupboards for here and when I was outside I heard her talk to him about pricing out new windows for here as well. Who knows if it is for all 3 three complexes that she is in charge of or just a few but I hope we get new windows.

Before we moved here Diana was telling me about this place called the Collicut centre and how cool and cheap it is. Well she was right. This place has a wave pool, workout rooms, workout classes, climbing walls, gyms, and an ice rink all in the same building. A person can go and pay one flat fee and do anything they want in this place for a day. And monthly passes are really cheap to like $37 an adult and that actually will get you into a number of rec facilities in Red Deer. I am really impressed.

Joe starts work on June 1st and I know he is excited to do that. He will work 8:30 - 4:30 for the first few training months. Once those are done and he is paired up with a senior employee he may be able to do flex hours. Which means he can work an extra hour a day and get 2days off a month. He would have to use those hours up within a 12 week cycle that way people are not banking their hours and taking a month or more off at a time. So he could take the 2 days off every month of he could take a week off every 3 months.

Oh and I missed it and Joe missed it but we Kaleb rolled over today. Joe put him down on the floor to go and make him a bottle and came back to see him on his stomach. Hooray for Kaleb!!
