Hi Friends!

Hey everyone. Well....we just got back from FSJ last night. We went up because Ben's second cousin was killed in a car crash....what a tragedy. Thankfully Steve and Virg graciously donated us some airmiles and we were able to fly up for free. In return we painted a bunch of siding for one of his houses! I thought it was a good trade off..... too bad we couldn't have painted more. It was so great to see everyone again, even though the circumstances weren't very good. The whole family was able to be there. Kev & RJ drove from Saskatoon and Bryan, who has been in Canada for a month, flew up from Calgary. So everyone made it. We were still able to have some fun. The guys built an actual cannon....and when it exploded everyone within 2 miles heard it---it was amazing! Ben's Dad said that the windows of the house actually rattled....and that was a kilometer away. (I love hanging out with the Haab boys and cousins) We also went to see "Cars" (highly recommendable), floated down the Beatton River in dinghy's, played some poker, went quad-ing, went on a big picnic.....what didn't we do?!?? We crammed a lot into 4 days. It is much MUCH warmer in FSJ than it is here.... we got a sweet tan. We were greeted with grey sky's when we landed last night. How depressing. When we are in Vancouver we really do love it....but when we head back out to Saskatchewan or to FSJ.... we love it there. I am just not sure if we can see ourselves raising a family in the big city. But the next year will tell us a lot....heck! The next 4 months will tell us a lot. It all depends on job availablity for Ben. Soooooo all we know is God knows. And everything little thing is gonna be alright. (thats a song, by the way). Anyways...just wanted to catch ya'll up and hopefully will talk to you soon!!!

Don't worry. I was raised in the city and all turned out well. Or kinda well ;)
Jordon and I plan on moving to Langley, it's close to the big city but sometimes still has that smalltown atmosphere. You should try it :)

Hey Johanna
I'm not sure if you remember me, we used to hang out when we were much younger back in Frontier. Anyway, I am in Vancouver as well, living near UBC in Kits so if you'd like to get together for some coffee or a walk to the beach sometime that would be cool

Sorry to hear about Ben's cousin, but it's good that you could make it up to FSJ and spend time with the Haabs. Did you know that Grant is there this summer?
