I'm Done

I'm finally done my job. Yeah. It's been 15 months since I started the city and I'm finally done. I was just getting too frustrated with work that I needed to get out of there. So far, I'll I've really done is nothing.

Yesterday was a "Day For Marsha." I finally got her ring in two Thursdays ago and got some plans in order to get it to her. I had arranged for a good friend, also Massage Therapist in training, to give Marsha a well deserved 1.5 hours massage. I also wanted her to get her hair done and then rent a hot tub for a soak. Unfortunately everything can't work out. But my meal did. I cooked a Roast Beast, Mashed Potatoes, Corn and brought it to Marsha's new dig for her. I then wrote a short story for her where I placed the ring in the book in a secret compartment in the back. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed the evening.

MARHSA'S NEW DIG

Marsha is moving, or has moved (she still has a few things to move). Her G'Ma had a place for rent and offered it to her for a sweet deal. Marsha has been living in a tiny little apartment in a basement for a little over a year now and has grown out of it. Her new place is a two bedroom suite. Very spacious, exactly what Marsha needed. The kitchen has "29 cupboards!" as Marsha has stated many a times and is going to be a great place to live. After the marriage, we'll be living there until December at the earliest.

The bonus is that the basement will be my new workshop. It is just concrete right now but I will be erecting some walls to close off some space for storage and have to run some electrical before I get settled in. Should be great.

CHRISTMAS PLANS

Marsha and I will be heading out to the coast for the holidays we leave for Calgary on Sunday and hope to be in Vancouver Monday. I'm getting the privilege of traveling to Gold River, BC. (Marsha's hometown) This should be great time spent with the future in-laws as well as brother and sister in-laws. This will be my first Christmas away from my parents. After asked how I felt about that, I feel it will be fine cause it still will be spent with people I love.

CUPBOARDS ARE IN

That's right, the sixteen cupboards are in. They have finally arrived and are being installed this week. Looks like in time for Christmas. Does that mean I'll have everything in place before I go. Unfortunately not but I hope to get the rest of the floor laid and the drywall finished. They look great against the dark walls. Pictures to follow.

The Cabinetmaker has had a tough year. Apparently he can't find good help to work with. What opportune time. I'm available. I talked to him earlier and I didn't know what his feelings were. But who knows what the next chapter in Braden's work life will be.

You did good, Braden on the ring part. (Marsha read me the story, and it was very sweet.) I guess we'll be seeing you, Marsha and the diamonds very soon! Can't wait! I hope your Mom and Dad are going to be with some family so that maybe they won't miss you so much. We'll be praying for you two as you drive. Take it easy!

Braden, you are the MAN! Is there nothing you can't do! If Superman was real, you'd be him! Keep up the good work
