FREEDOM 30

Wow, Lori, your ahead of the ball game. Most people have to wait at least until they hit 50 for debt freedom. Sad story is sounds like it will be short lived. Nice to enjoy while you can though.
Glad to hear your deal is finalized and finished.
Nothing too exciting in Medicine Hat. As a matter of fact, there is absolutely nothing new. For anybody who cares I'm doing well in my second year. Assignments are on time and quite well done according to the marks. Oh, I know something else. I got new glasses. Lori even likes them or so she said. They are....are you ready for this....RED....well actually burgundy.

Up until...

Today is the big day... Money in the bank!! Up until last night... I was living between two condos! Not anymore.... All moved out and their possession is today. I will have you all know, the only expense I have in my name these days is my cell phone! Holy mackeral! Thats sad and exciting at the same time! Oh, and soon to be an Astro van insurance payment.... That is all sad... no excitment there. hahaha.

Jeter is doing well at the new place. I think her hiss'er is gonna be worn out soon though. It's all good... I had a doggie on one side of the bed last night and the kitty about two feet away. So, we're making progress.

And, what else... we have a photography course starting next Monday. I'm sure we will learn alot of stuff! All about these things we've been letting the automatic deal with. And, we are registered for a portrait photography course for January.

Ok, thats all... bye bye.

Work?

Hi Family,
I was back to work on Oct 20....and we am living across 2 houses right now....with that being said, we have no internet at the one house and no computer at the house with internet. I know that makes a lot of sense!! I'll be working on getting connected in the next week or so.

Happy early Halloween!

Later,
KAB

Done deal

Conditions are removed from the offer on my place. Their possession is Oct 30th! Holy fart... one step closer to Mexico!

I wonder how much interest I can gain on my moola for the next few months!?!?!? How exciting!!

Just to keep you updated... we're working on booking our 3rd wedding for April! Looks like our goal moving date may move to april... We will see.

gift certificates

A year or so back, we got mom and dad a gift certificate for Rocky mountain lodges. They are not going to use them... So they gave them back to me. Unfortunately we cannot get a refund. I got them extended to Dec 30/09.

So, our options:
- try to sell them on the internet... for less than their value
- one of us can try to use them
- regift.

Lemme know your thoughts....

Catchin' Up!!

Catchin' up on all sort of things.....wash, news, SLEEP. Ha, ha. Being a Grandma and Grandpa is tough work. Just think I used to chase 4 of you around and still managed. Being organized was the key, I guess. Addy is one busy little girl. Smart as a button. She was amazed by the over 6 inches of snow we got Sunday (needless to say, we were too!!!). Favorite saying todate is "wha's tat" all in a whisper. Pretty good considering she can't talk.

Sounds like C & G had all kinds of fun at 6 Flags. The Hallowe'en coffin looks like one of Dad's creations except in a rougher style. And the wooden roller coaster, Yikes, I wouldn't be caught dead on it. I can't believe they still operate it. It has to be ancient. Probably shut down cause they were looking for timbers to strengthen it.

Cats are still alive here, so I guess they got fed. Dottie & Vicki came over. Dad talked to Dottie. I just know Jeter got pets and then decided she should try and bite. Didn't happen though. Right now, Jeter is meowing and I don't know why. Teva is catching up on sleep.

Dad, aka Grandpa has picked up a cold/flu and is trying to re-cuperate. To date, I'm fine, however, did have a really bad headache when we got to the Hat. Thought it was the start of the same bug Dad has but it has since left. I don't have time to be sick. I work tomorrow and leave about 3 for Calgary for classes. Saturday we shall be returning to CowTown for Patrick Ducharme's wedding.

In the meantime, hope everyone has a really great week!

Six Flags Pics

Super Wicked Roller Coaster.....Goliath The Rattler....it was closed when we were there. Thank God because I probably would've peed my pants! Even though wooden roller coasters scare me to death, I still would've gone on it.
Poltergeist....."keep your arms in at all times....goodbye"....and you're GONE!
Six Flags was all Hallowe'ened out....
The lollipops we bought for Matt and Aprils kids for watching Sisqo for us.

All the trips?

How were all the trips??? Vegas, babysitting and six flags?

Mom, lemme know how Vicki did with the cats. tx again.

Not quite sold yet... but I'm bettin' by the time the weekend is over! It's had some good action the last couple days! Yesterday I had a second showing, and there is another second showing scheduled for Saturday!!! Whoohoo! There is also a third that is asking an awful lot of questions. We will see. I'll keep you posted!

Sample shots.

Just spent a few mins looking at the pics I took of Kim, Bill and Addy. Here's the beginning of the batch. We did have some technical difficulties.... but now we know for next time. Here are my favorites so far.


IS THE ASTRO A CHALLENGE?????

And the challenge is not so much fixin' as matchin' the colors back up. Lori did you fail to tell Link'n Dad was COLOR-BLIND??? Its okay though, maybe he'll come up with some exciting new color combinations. Are you worried yet?

Names

Oh sorry.... forgot to comment on that one...

I guess I'll give in this year..... It has been brought up for some years that we should go back to JUST picking names.... and JUST buying for that one person who's name you get. I think you've all said it before so please comment on who would like to do this, or not.....

I'm all for it this year, considering I'm working on building the bank account right now. Mexico living will thank me later.

XMAS NAMES

So nobody wants to pick names? Thats fine. I don't either...apparently.

Astro-lita

Well.... our baby is almost home. Drove all the way to winnipeg and back in 3 days. Left my poor little baby kitties at grandma and grandpa's. Poor Teva is not the best traveller.... Not sure how shes gonna make Mexico yet. I think Jeter would be fine.... but I'm not so sure about Teva... She has a rough time making it around the block.

Anyway, Astro is at Mom and Dads too. Dads new project! Hes replacing the water pump for us and fiddling with some wires to see if he can fix the many electrical issues (ie power windows, wipers, cd player). Minor stuff.... but slightly important for a week long trip.

Linc, I think we need to name the Astro.... and its a girl.... How about.... uh.... How about a Mexican name... Lolita?
