Canadian Pride, Caramel Reese and a Digital Camera

I keep talking to people who ask me what we're up to, y'know besides starting a new job, moving to another country and buying a home. Well if those things aren't enough for us to be up to I will tell you what else is going on in my life.

Lynnette is at work tonight, and as I wait to watch LOST @9PM on ABC I tuned into the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast of the Oilers/Sharks game 6. I almost came to tears with the pride I felt for my countrymen on this night. First of all I must tell you about what happened in game 5. Before the game, during the singing of the Canadian National Anthem the San Jose fans could be heard booing (for witch the Mayor of San Jose later appologized). I half expected to hear the Canadian fans return the favor (a la Yankees/Red Sox hatred kind of thing). To my utter surprise, instead of booing the people of Edmonton returned hate with love, almost drowning out the singer. Then when the Canadian Anthem was sung, they sang it with all their hearts. This is just another example of why I'm Proud to be Canadian. GO OILERS!!!

Also tonight I purchased the Reese Cups with Caramel. It was delicious. I recomend trying one. Very sweet though, I was only able to eat one. If you choose to try them I suggest following them with milk.

The other thing going on is we bought a digital camera. A Sony Cyber-Shot 6 MP. It's fantastic. The quality is amazing and it even shoots some pretty good video. It's taken me a while to join the digital revolution. I was waiting for the quality to go up and the price to go down. I think we waited long enough. I'm going to use the camera on my trip to Saint John to look at homes. Hopefully soon I will be able to post some pictures of a new home with the camera.

Anyways. That's what we're up to. Oh yeah and Edmonton won 2-0, bring on the Anaheim Might Sucks.

What We're Up To

Sorry it has been so long since I've posted, but we've been busy discovering God's direction for our lives. I didn't think looking for a Youth Pastor job would be so hard. We were lucky enough to visit three amazing churches. I kind of was hoping that we would hate two of them and love one of them, but it wasn't like that. They were all amazing in their own ways. So it made our decision all that much harder. In the end though, we feel God is leading us East to New Brunswick. Quispamsis, NB to be exact (try saying that 10 times fast, I dare you). We are headed to Kings Valley Wesleyan Church to take on the position of Youth and Outreach pastor. The church is amazing and the staff is great. We are excited to get started in our new ministry. I don't know why God has taken us on the journey we've been on this last year, but perhaps it was to wait until this position opened up.

A little bit about the church. It's part of the Atlantic District of the Wesleyan church. From what I've heard a very cool district. They have two, count 'em, two camps. Beulah and Caton's Island (yeah that's right the students camp on an island on the St. John River). Quispamsis is also the home town of Tim Horsman for those of you that know him. It is located just outside of St. John, NB on the Bay of Fundy off the Atlantic Ocean. Pretty cool huh. Anyways, we will be spending the next few weeks wrapping stuff up here and looking for a place to live there. Once we're settled you're all welcome to visit. Maybe we can go whale watching, I heard it's mostly boring, but sometimes you actually see a whale.

Well that's it for now. I'm sure many things will be happening in the next few weeks and months and I will trying to update you all as things happen. Thank you to all of you out there that have been praying for us this past year. I believe God has his hand on us.
