We're Back

So I know it's been quite a while, and after much prompting from friends I have re-entered the world of blogging. What have we been up to you ask? Well let me think. Dan has started his own electrical company MOUNTAIN RIDGE ELECTRIC with a business partner and they have been so blessed with a lot of work. It's pretty cool to think that Dan is a company president! He has also started his third year in school, so some days he goes straight from school to work! We have been doing lots of youth stuff, going to a citywide event and last weekend we were at a youth workers conference all weekend. THere were some really great speakers. Also in February I took my mom to Maui for a vacation. I kinda owed her a trip from when I was about 15 and totally ruined one vacation by getting severly sunburned on the second day there! We had a wonderful time! We did everything from whale watching to driving the road to Hanna and Haleakala and even eating at "Da Kitchen"!

A couple weekends ago Dan and I looked after baby Audrey, Tony and Monica's new baby! It was pretty funny, she is quite the smiley kid and didn't mind us rookies looking after her! And on March 12th we got to meet Benjamin Dickson, congratulations Gord and Andrea he truly is a Dickson boy!

So as our busy life continues on I will try to update more for all our friends that don't live close by! We Love and Miss You!

Life as I know it

So I finally had a minute to sit down for a minute and thought I would update and vent about a few things. First of all, last Friday Dan and I went to a Sonics game in Seattle. We had tix from Christmas and it was a great game! I had a blast and we were high fiving and jumping around. (I finally found something that Dan and I can get excited about together).

Now for the venting.....I hate car dealers! We needed to get our power steering fixed on our mazda and what a time we had finally getting it done. To make a really long story shorter we first took it to VIP mazda in Abby and they tried to milk us for all we were worth with no success. Just call us the Holmes of vehicle repair. We ended up getting our car back still with only armstrong steering and our engine light on (of which we paid over $400 to have them fix). So we then took it to Morrey Mazda in North Van. They were great about most stuff, including quoting us $500 less for the part than what VIP did. Now yesterday afternoon rolled around ( about 4:30) and I received a call from Morrey that they wouldn't be able to finish the car that night. Okay you say, no problem they will just provide a courtesy car so that I can get home! Ya Right! Apparently they were all used and they proceeded to tell me that I could rent one at my own expense! Excuse Me I Says! I had it out with the guy on the phone and after saying that he would need to drive me home to Abbotsford, he finally agreed that they would pick up the tab! I now have my car back (engine light still on - it's kinda pretty though) and do I have a new appreciation for those people who get around with out a car every day! Kudos to you all!
