"The great orange towers of the Golden Gate bridge jutted through the fogbank like carrots from the faces of sleeping conjoined twin snowmen"

(A quote from a very good book I am currently reading)

So, I didn't get the job I applied for, which is too bad, because after subbing elementary today, I was actually getting excited about it. However, they did offer me a very small contract, teaching every friday in a grade one french immersion class. I knew I kept getting called for grade one for a reason! So, I've applied for it and asked to be on the sub list for monday to thursday, so at least I'll be guaranteed one day a week, and who knows, it could turn into more work!

Mike and I also found out that we'll be getting reimbursed for all of our moving expenses, including the move to storage, which I was unsure of. So, yeah for that! Plus, they will pay for us to stay in a hotel until we find a place to live for August first. I love the RCMP! I secretly am considering applying myself.

I'm very tired right now though, but excited for my girls night tomorrow with Jenn, Melissa and Theresa at a hotel! Yeah! But, I'm tired from Friday night, when I did the walk for life relay in Port Alberni. It was a 12 hour walk for cancer. We raised over 119 thousand dollars, and our team "Walking for Udders" in honour of Mike's mom, won the team spirit contest. We all had matching cow costumes and pyjamas for the pj lap. It was a lot of fun, in fact it was the most fun I've had staying up all night, even though it poured rain for a lot of it, and I was absolutely exhausted!

Well, that's all the news for now. I'm heading to Regina in less than 2 weeks now, and then Mike and I will be leaving for Dawson Creek on July 21st! We will have two days to drive there, and I plan on staying in a nice hotel paid for by the RCMP :)

So, that's what's exciting right now...let's hope it gets warm by next week so I can at least have one swim in Sproat Lake before I leave...pleease

Oh, and by the way, I'm reading a book right now called a Dirty Job, which is absolutely hilarious. You must read it--Here's a quote:

"So I am death." Charlie said as he tried to construct a tuna-fish sandwich. "Daddy is Death sweetie." He checked the toast, not trusting the pop-up mechanism because the toaster people sometimes just liked to fuck with you.

You have to read it to understand just how funny and well-written it is. Thanks Dad for the book!
