The Litchfields: January 2010

Hi everyone! I know I have been terrible at keeping up with this blog. But on my defense the Holidays were CRAZY! I can tell you that I'm sure getting tired of booking time off work to be spent driving between Taber and the Crowsnest Pass. It doesn't feel like a break at all. But enough of my complaining. We had a wonderful Christmas together this year, we spent Christmas Eve at home together, got up in the middle of the night to play Santa, and spent Christmas morning opening our gifts together, at home. Ahh... that was the nice relaxing part. :) Then we both went off to work TOGETHER from 3-11 on Christmas Day. Hurray for time and a half!

We then drove of towards Taber to spend the weekend with Jordy's family (or some of it at least) and had a yummy Christmas dinner on Saturday. Had a lot of fun watching our nephew open his first Christmas gifts, enjoyed opening our own gifts from family, and giving our gifts to family. (Pictures of August will be on Facebook.) Then we headed off to the Crowsnest Pass after picking my brother up from the Calgary Airport. (I said there was lots of driving!) We spent New Years in the Pass with my family and then headed home on Saturday evening. It felt super busy.

Anyways. Now that we have spent some time in 2010 more fun things have happened. Jordy started his last semester of school at the U of L and decided he should spend more time focusing on that and so today he put in his two weeks notice at work. Boy am I JEALOUS! I would love to not work for Quest anymore. But that's another story. So he'll not be working for the majority of the semester which hopefully will help raise his GPA a bit. Another fun thing about our work schedules... We are looking into the possibility of selling alarm systems this summer. Jordy's friend is coming down this Saturday to talk to us about it and he told us they were looking at selling in either Halifax, Ontario, or somewhere in BC. I'm personally hoping for Halifax. I would love to go there for the summer and take in the ocean and the sites and maybe look for a job for Jordy there... haha. Yes, I still want to move to the East coast. All the pictures look beautiful, and Jordy spent a day there and said he liked it. AND I'm soo tired of Southern Alberta. :) So I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

Other than that we're just hoping Jordy will do well in all his classes this semester so he can be done (he may have to take an extra class) and so he will be DONE! :) I'm almost more excited for that than he is. Anyways, here are some pictures from over the last few weeks, till next time.
