currant happenings

I thought that I would just put a little note up as I have not written any thing for a long time. Chelsey has been keeping everyone very well informed about life with the girls. Makayla is getting all 4 of her top middle (yes, 4 teeth at once!) teeth right now, so she has been a grump! But we are having a lot of fun with Jada and Makayla. The other day Jada and I were moving our arms around with music, and it was so fun how she would copy every move that I did, all with a huge smile on her face. My family always makes me smile, and I love them a lot. There is not much better in life than having a happy family to come home to :)

In other news, we have a few adventures we starting. As you know, I've applied to get into the Canadian Government, with the dept of foreign affairs & International Trade. I'm still waiting to hear back to see if I get into the next phase of the application process. Last year I made it into the first round interviews, but failed to go further. I am hoping that this year I get further along into it. I hope that I hear back soon from them, as I am tired of waiting to know. It takes the average person anywhere from 3 - 5 years before they get into the government posts, so I'll keep trying a couple more years. If the Government does not pan out, I am thinking of trying to become an account manager with a bank. I think that that route could also take advantage of the skills I have. We will see what happens. Working at AWC Communications is a good enough job for now, but I've already decided that it is not what I want to be for a long time career. I enjoy working with people (most of the time), and I enjoy the money we get, but working retail and mall hours is what gets to me after a while.

The second thing that Chelsey and I are doing is Scuba. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, and I'm lucky enough to have a wife who is supportive and thinks that it sounds like fun, so is going to do it with me. We have signed up to do classes starting in February! That is so close! It will be every Tuesday, as well as one Tuesday in March. We are then thinking of taking a trip with the dive shop to the BC to get our open water certification during Easter weekend. So it will be a fun adventure learning to explore under water. My older brother Brent has his open water, and I think that it was a lot of his influence and stories about it that got me interested in a long time ago. I just had an opportunity (or the money) before to do so.

Well, that is what is going on from Mike's POV.
