Winter Update

So, how about this winter! It really sucks in my opinion. Anyway, things are pretty good still. Not too much action going on. Me and Al went to dinner last week with his sister and her son Ryan. It was a nice suprise. Another HUGE surprise was when she told us that her and Dan , her husband were giving us $1,000 for the wedding as a gift. They wanted us to know so we could use it if we needed it before hand for payments on stuff. So that was a huge shocker there and very generous of them. We are most definatly very gratefull and it really is helping with the budgeting and saving and so on.

Im trying to find a "do it yourself" site for making bouquets with artificial flowers. I'd like to do it this way rather than with fake flowers that will die so quickly and be way more expensive.

So my sister lost her job on Wednesday which totally sucks for her. BUT , fingers crossed...she had an interview at Cogeco the same day and they are checking on her refrences and confirming her employment now so Im really hoping that she gets this job. It's only part time but it's a higher paid job and she'd start out making $17 an hour....I have been there close to 3 years and just this past year got over $17 and hour! So that's awesome for her! So fingers crossed and prayers up that she gets this.

Due to the wonderful economy they have not posted any job postings for the SCA position that i want. Despite 3 permanent positions are now free on this already understaffed department. I really really want this, it would mean a HUGE pay increase, we're talking a $5 / hour raise. I already do this position only because im not a permanent member of the team i get the crappy hours and no premium pay. It really REALLY sucks, but it's just something that i have to do in order to prove myself and hopefully get on the team permanently. So prayers that happens soon, cause it would really help with saving for the wedding and stuff and totally make crappy shifts worth while.
