The last 2 and a half months

Alright it's been a while since I've made any posts on here so I'm going to be writing them now. It's been an interesting past few months and I think I can share them with you now in written form. My friends I've seen have heard a lot of it but there is more to tell also.

So this week I'm going to be adding in posts and stamping the date published as when the events took place.

Ready to look at some backposts on here? Go for it. Everything between the post "3 sleeps till the wedding" and "the last 2 and a half months" is a back post and is new.

I'll add to this list though the week. Go and read:
-Our Wedding Day part 1 - added July 30th
-The Gift Opening - added July 30th
-James' New Job - added July 30th
-At the Cabin - added July 31st
-Our Wedding Day part 2 - added August 1st.

Enjoy.

James' New Job

Well it's not a new type of job but it is different. I applied for a courier position full tie and I didn't get it the first time around. But a week later I found out I got a contract postion for 1 year working 37.5 hours a week (full time for us).

So Starting September 5th 2006 for 1 year I'm going to be working Monday to Friday (and every 6th Saturday) instead of working every weekend. Now I'm going to be able to go out with my friends and have people over on the weekends. I'm excited.

Now you might be saying "James why are you taking a 1 year contract?"

Well the answer is this. I'm going to be taking some classes online this year and I didn't want to be working for only 2 days a week. I feel that I can take the online classes and work. The hours at work aren't bad and I know I'll have time to get the course work done. I have 3 classes ot take and I'm going to take 2 at once and then 1 after that. Each class can take up to 6 months so that is 12 months at most of online classes for me...See how it matches up with a 12 month contract?

Well it's going to be excitiing for me but we'll see how I feel a few months into it.

At the Cabin

Well it's happened. With not taking classes during the summer I've actually had the chance to enjoy it. So we packed up some bags, grabbed the dog from Jacqui's parents and went out to the lake.

Fur Lake is located by the town of shell lake and only has a handful of cabins there which makes it nice and quiet to visit.

We went out to the lake twice, each for 5 days so here some pictures from both times. (the pictures are small because Blogger was having problems during uploading)

Here is Jacqui doing some scrapbooking during our 2nd trip to the lake. During that week we did over 30 pages for our scrapbook....That is a lot but it is well worth it.
Here I am sitting on the deck one evening while we are in the middle of a Scrabble game. Jacqui loves playing Scrabble and I'm starting to like it too.During our first week we had a lot of rain and here it is coming off the cabin beside ours.On our last day of our 2nd trip Jacqui's Dad came out and took Jacqui fishing. Look at what Jacqui caught!


So yes we had lots of fun out at the lake and we're planning again to go in August before I start my new job.
