Sorry

On Sunday I got a text message from Virginia saying that she had just started crying because she missed me so much and couldn't stop crying. I felt really bad because I couldn't be there with her. So this video is for her. Sorry that I can't be there right now. I love you babe!

Money, Money, Money!!!

I love money!! Most people know that I am a coin collector. I actually collect both coins and banknotes. I mainly collect Canadian money but also have some international.

Anyway since I love all money, I just had to do this post.

We are going to Mexico in 8 days... wow, I can't believe it!! Anyway today I got off work and when I got home there was a message from the bank. My Pesos were in. I ordered them on Monday. Excitedly, I went to the bank and picked up my Pesos and I had also ordered a bunch of American currency, so I picked that up too. When I looked at the book of Pesos at the bank, there were many different denominations but they only sent me fifty's. I will definitely get some of the other denominations when we are in Mexico.

Well, I took some pictures because I think it's cool!!!



The American Money
A big stack of American currency and another stack of Pesos
50 Pesos: front then back. They have butterflies on them!! See the dark shape to the right of the face... that's actually see through. It has a see through plastic or something covering it.
American Money. It totally looks like Monopoly money. Especially the 5's, 10's and 20's

Goodbye for a little while...


Blaine is leaving for Cranbrook on Sunday morning. He will be coming back for the Easter weekend and then after that we will only have a short wait until we fly off to Mexico on April 5th. I can't believe it's only 22 more days now!! We return from Mexico on April 13th. I will be staying in Edmonton until the end of April and then going down to join Blaine in Cranbrook.

Cranbrook

It is now official... Blaine was offered a position at the TV station in Cranbrook, B.C. He finally received the offer of employment letter on Friday afternoon. It feels good to know for sure now, since it has been about 3 weeks since he went down for the interview. We have been patiently waiting but growing impatient as the time passed.

So Blaine will be going down there and starting his new job in a couple weeks! I will be staying in Edmonton until the end of April and then we will move everything down to Cranbrook.
