Alittle update

So a quick update on things, we are still in BC in Telkwa, but we will be heading out this week back to Alberta.
Do we have a place to live yet?
the answer would be NO!!!!!!!!!!
So you ask why are we leaving BC?
Well, we went in to get a form signed for Edmonton housing by the BC service office(EI) and found out that when you are on EI normal or medical you can still not travel you must be at home.....(hahahaha funny when you dont have a home), but the guy wrote a note and gave us a week, so we are doing the getting ready thing now so we are not rushed and so we have a bit more room this time and a bit happier kids, if we have to sleep in the van on the cold nights vs camping.
We are trying to make some phone calls from here to see if we can get things moving on the other end well we are here, again another reason we need to be there very very hard to do things for Alberta government or city of Edmonton when you are not there.

Am I scared?
A bit but not as much as I think I should be, camping for a month would not be ideal but it would not kill us either, but we know we do have somewhere to go after the long weekend, not again a permanent thing, which I would really like right now but somewhere save and sound, and where there would be love.


Thank you to all the family and friends who have been supporting us through this long struggle......there is a little at the end of the tunnel but it feels like it is going to be a long tunnel!

Trip to Tyhee lake and a try at family photos

We went up to the Tyhee Lake which is about15mins ish from David's parents place in Telkwa, it is was really nice and relaxing....we took some family photos there are a couple good ones and then the kids being silly! we had fun though and that is all the matters right?

the bike ride

so it has been one of those days, I woke up and went for a run/walk (still working on the full run thing) and that was great, and then we took the kids to the park on a bike ride, and still I felt like I need something and sometime away......just alot on my mind and alot of stress.......so I went for another bike ride by myself.....all good, I am going down a big hill and something did not sound right.....to look down and NOPE they were not all okay, the chain had come off by the plastic guard coming off and getting caught in the chain......

now, I was okay I am sort of making it out worse than it was but still kinda scary!

but I totally fixed and finished my ride down to the lakes (2 come together 2 make one)

Took some pictures and sat for a few minutes and then headed home....

here are some of the pictures.....there is a beauty here that is not found in the city!

I am ALIVE!

I know I have not totally finished updating how the trip up here was but I thought I would let everyone know that I am ALIVE, this has been a interesting turn in my life, I always thought it would be nice to live in a small town.......I WAS WRONG! I DISLIKE it alot I am very very much a city girl, I need lots of attention and love and shopping (not always to buy, but I love looking) and well......there is alot of pretty views here not that same thing, I feel like a animal in a cage and you only get out once and awhile......now granted I have slowed down a bit and learned a little more patience that I needed to learn but I want my city back not persay the "big"city I would be okay with a small city but I like the action in life. I like options of shopping....and I like a big ward of church......for some reason I like to not be noticed all the time but when you are it is okay to but here the branch is as big as the primary back in Calgary.....though they are sweet people, and I did love it today just very very very different. And yes DIFFERENT is OKAY......we still don't have to LOVE it!
I would love to be able to have the best of both worlds and I think that is some of it right now, I know we are here for at least a month but even then we are not totally sure, it is all a waiting game hopefully we will get some answers this week that would be super nice!

to the play park and water fun

After we got back from Huston the kids still wanted to run around so we went to the park and then came home and played in the water because it was super hot here!

a trip to Huston.....and not the Texas one, the one in BC!

So we went to Huston to see the worlds largest fly fishing pole.

We here so lets go on a day trip now to Terrace!

On the way to Terrace we stopped in Moricetown, it was amazing to watch them fish this way, a talent that would take a special person....I did jump when I watched how they killed them, again I am a city girl through and through so all new to me....but very very peaceful watching the lake and this people as there is no rush patiance is a HUGE thing....

we are here!

have not totally settled in yet but I will add some more updates later this week we have had alot of adventures up to this point!

Day 3

From McBride to Prince George

 stopped to do a little shopping and meet Grandma and Grandpa Mousir

from there we stopped in Burns Lake to see the flower car

and then we went all the way to Telkwa.

we got in about 1am, we had a quiet ride from Prince George as we let Grandma and Granpa have the kids so we took pictures to make sure we stayed awake it was such a beautiful drive.

The beauty is so amazing breath taking at times, very very different than city life!

how Joshua feel asleep that night......
