Well, this feels a little weird, but Kendal and I felt that the best way for us to keep everyone updated on our lives was to do an "online journal" so that everyone could keep up with us! It is easier for us then phoning (since as so many of you have pointed out, we are just never home) and writing letters! (right.....) I do have time while i am at work however, so here we are! Unfortunatly, by the time many of you get to read this it will probably have been a couple of weeks, since we are keeping what we are "up to" a secret for a while....because we love you and don't want to dissapoint you! Let's see here, what have the Jone's been up to.... Well, Kendal and I almost bought a house this week, but unfortunatly the deal fell through at the last second. It was a 4 bedroom house built in 1973 for 119000.00 It had a double garage and a swimming pool in the back yard! Can't get better then that though! Must have been some reason that God didn't want us to get that particular house though because right before we were gonna sign the papers, someone else outbid us..... Here is the site though if you would like to see what we are looking at! http://www.mls.ca/PropertyDetai We are dissapointed of course, but recognize God's guiding hand in this. We will keep looking. The girls are mostly still doing ok. Krystal is working a lot.... She says that she has the possibility of a full time job right now working for a cab company. The other job she is interested in is at a daycare. She said they might pay up to half of her tuition to take Early Childhood Education. We will see. She has also enrolled herself here at an adult education program to finish her grade 12. I hope that she does well with that as I think that she is a smart girl. Brandy has been a complete joy ever since this summer. We did have some trouble with her in the summer when she decided to take several midnight excursions at 2 am.....Unfortunatly for her, somehow although her bedroom is in the basement, we woke up each time, and unlucky for her, i found her wherever she went (LOL) I finally ended up nailing her bedroom window shut! At this point, we are very pleased with her. She is making some very good choices for herself. She is hoping to change schools though in the fall, which is why we want to move, so that she can make some healthier friends and get into some better programs. Get this. She is choosing to not date until 18, because she says her friends are always getting their hearts broken, and she doesn't want to do that. Lucky me, or what! She does have a crush on a boy in our youth group though, but i promised i wouldn't say the name outloud...ever...... Little Miss Bree is still as independent as ever! She is doing awesome in school. She is in grade 8 now, and is getting almost straight A's! She didn't do so well on French or she probably would have got on the honor role! She is also not too interested in dating yet, although i doubt very much if she has made Brandy's decision about boys. I will try to post pics of everyone soon...... Kendal and I are doing great! Buisy as usual, but what else is new! He is still working at Crown Enterprises, and enjoying it! I still work at Bobcat and I have my days..... We love our new church and we have also found 101 things to love about Regina, including all the great friends that we have made here! Oh-and here is the reason that i can't send u the link to our webpage yet.....Kendal and I are trying to have a baby! After 10 years of being married, we decided that we wanted one of our own after all! We don't want to tell ya all though until it happens as there are so many things that could go wrong...so you will just have to wait! So far-no luck....although I am supposed to be testing on Sat. as my basil temps have stayed high for an unusual length of time this month so maybe i will have something to share with you soon..... are you suitably shocked? |
