Oh Yeah...We Have a Blog?!?

Well It's been a while since the last post so we figured we had beter get our butts in gear and put something on to let everyone know how things are going out west. Here's a quick breakdown of the last few weeks...

1. We got arrested!
2. We bought a Nintendo Wii
3. Mike has his OWN vehicle (95 Pathfinder) which he pays his own insurance on and the inspection repairs!!!
4. Mel is almost done work for the year and will be heading back home in a couple weeks
5. Mike got new Sunglasses (Mel thinks there hot ;)
6. Condo idea is currently on the backburner as we're starting to lean towards a house...ps...if anyone has $20,000 for a "gift" let us know.
7. Mike got a new pillow (came with the car) that is good for the neck and reduces snoring!
8 Mike sure gets a lot!
9. Passport information is moving along. (We left the store when they took our pictures and they told us about 20 minutes...so we walk away and mel FLIPS OUT..."How are they going to know it's us...our names aren't on the receipt" DUH they're giving us pictures of ourselves!!! lol SPAZ
10. We had "Marble Slab Creamery" Ice Cream, they mix whatever ice cream you want with whatever toppings right in front of you on a big frozen slab.
11. Worked downtown, right beside the Calgary Tower, from 7 PM until 7 AM, a night that involvd a transport getting stuck under a bridge, a friend's stolen bike turning up beneath a druggie, and a random guy getting stabbed and bleeding all over a pipe, all in all a pretty memorable night.

And the funniest thing...I (Mike) have learned a great way to make Mel sick to her stomach...The fan by our window which I sleep beside blows cold air in the night so we can sleep in this sauna of a room...one night I "accidentally" passed some gas and the fan carried it right to mel's side HAHAHAHAHA, it was so funny I do it whenever I can.

Well hopefully that catches everyone up, if we think of anything else we'll blog right away, and if we get around to it we will do this again soon, what can we say, we don't do much!

Wish Upon A Star...

So we have made the decision to go with a Condo. We looked at a few this afternoon and found a couple that peaked our interest. Next weekend we will be meeting with a "Mortgage Officer" to see if our hole is shallow enough for them to give us some money. If all goes well at the bank's end and the Condo is still available, we will be moving in after Christmas. If this is for any reason impossible, the next set of Condos in that complex would not go on sale until August and we could not move in until August '08. We are keeping our fingers crossed that all goes well and that we can get the place we really want. Here are some pix for you to see...let us know what you think.
