some ups some downs

I guess life is full of ups and downs here are some that we have experienced in the last months or so. First Mike broke his pinky finger playing hockey. On the same night he thought he lost his wedding ring. A few days latter I got a job doing Home Health Care for an elderly lady with MS. Mike also found his ring it was in his gloves. I also got my green card in the mail that day, so now I am legal for two years.

My computer also decided that it did not like the Internet for a couple of times then decided not to turn on, so I have to fine a way to get at my pictures and documents out of it. I also had to go to Idaho falls to get my finger prints taken again this time for a back ground check for my job. The fuse on our microwave blow so we decided not to buy a $70 microwave because this is the second time in seven months that the same this has happened. So we bought a $10 one it is a lot smaller but it will do for now.

It may seem like a lot of downs in our life but they are just small bumps along the road of life and over all we are doing great.

Winter Fun

I just wanted to update people on our lives. Mike and I have been married for about six months now and time has gone by so fast. I am a few weeks away from getting my green card in the mail and we are very excited. Mike continues to go to school. He is now volunteering at the middle school and class teaching one day each. I still have not found a job, but continue to fill out applications. We went home to Ottawa Canada for Christmas this year. It was fun to get together with all the new additions to our family aka Mike and Dan.

For a Date on the long weekend Mike and I decided to got Ice skating. It was fun for a little bit but as usual my ankles started to hurt, Mike on the other hand skated for about an hour.
Mike has recently started to play on a floor hockey team this semester. He likes it a lot. Last night he played against my old roommate Alexis, it was nice to see her again.

Here are some of this pictures I took of Mike playing Hockey and us skating.
