Change is Good

After reading Ron's blog, I realized that our blog also needed a change. I hope everyone likes the new look :)
Mike and I are enjoying a quiet weekend at home. The weather has been pretty nice the last couple of days. Nothing much new happening around here. Busy with work as usual...it is almost time for report cards :( Mike has been busy coaching volleyball. His team had a tournament last night and they won! He was pretty surprised that they did so well. I have been meaning to post more pictures, but we really haven't been taking many...maybe next time :)

Happy Thanksgiving

Mike and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We were lucky to enjoy a four day weekend - the board gave us a few payback days for starting early this year due to the World Skills Competition. On Saturday I made cabbage rolls for the first time and I must say they were fabulous! Jen and I worked all afternoon to make them. I only had to make 5-10 calls home...hahaha We had to stop Mike and Dale from eating them so there would be some left for the next day's dinner. We had dinner on Sunday at Jen and Dale's place. I brought the cabbage rolls, glazed ham and a pumpkin dessert. There was soooo much food and everything turned out great! The weather has been very cold the last few days and last night we got quite a bit of snow. The roads were pretty bad today. Next week the weather is supposed to get nice again...thank god for Chinooks!

I'll end with some wonderful news...Mike and I are coming home for Christmas! Thank you Dad!!!!

See everyone in a few months!
