Happy Halloween!

Trailer Love

I haven't been feeling too wordy lately (is it obvious?)... so I figured I would post pictures of our trailer. In mid-August we sold our little tent trailer and bought my parents trailer. We got to camp in it 4 times before finally winterizing it this past weekend...it made me a bit sad that winter's coming and we can't use it for several months now :)

I love this trailer so much. I can't even explain how nice it is to be up off the ground and warm while camping. And since it has running water/shower/stove/fridge, etc we can actually take it places and it's like our mini hotel room :)

So there it is! We are so so happy with it and can't wait to start camping again in....February...? What? Too early?

Going Dutch

So this weekend we got a PUPPY!!!!! Definitely not a spontaneous decision, everyone knows we have been discussing this for years now, haha. I think the final straw was seeing all of Jared's brothers getting puppies that made us jealous ;) He's a Border Collie/Australian Sheperd X and he is so sweet. His name is Dutch and even though it's only been 2 days, he already feels like part of the family.

To say the kids are thrilled would be an understatement. They are so in love with this sweet little guy already. At our Thanksgiving meal, we took turns saying what we are thankful for. Pretty sure you can guess what Carter and Hayley said!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all our family and friends!

Only in BC...

I'm sure everyone's familiar with the popular "inter-office memos" that get sent around via email. You know the typical "please claim your old rotten tupperware containers out of the staff fridge" or "each employee will recieve 104 personal days per year. They are called Saturday and Sunday". Ya know, that type of thing...

Last week, Jared fowarded me this email that got circlated in the office where he works:

To: Fording River Email Users
Subject: Mud on the Windows

In an effort to stop big horn sheep from smashing through the windows and landing in somebody’s office, we are applying mud to reduce the window reflection.

The rams are in rut at this time and see their reflection in the windows. They issue a challenge by tilting their head and of course their reflection accepts the challenge. So far they have smashed several windows.

Please use understanding and patience in this attempt to deter the animals. This is a temporary measure only and should be a very effective deterrence.

Any questions, please give me a shout.

Um...okay. Not your typical office memo, hey?
