life is progressing quite nicely these days.

just last night elisha finally got the phone call she was waiting for...she's now an IT & Science teacher at Queen Margaret School in Duncan....good wage, great working environment and only a short drive away from nanaimo. now that she has procured the job, we can start to get our lives in order.
first on the list is the purchase of a new vehicle. we've settled on the honda fit...a definite step-up from our 1996 mazda protege. if everything goes according to plan, we should be able to drive it off the lot on friday evening....trying not to get my hopes up, but i think we deserve something new.
wedding plans are nearly done...just a few kinks to iron out in terms of flight details and a few other minor things. i can't actually believe how easy it has been to arrange all of this, thanks in large part to leesh. of course, she has had the time off so i've left it in her capable hands and i know she enjoys the planning side of things anyway. it's just so hassle-free and i am thankful that we are getting married this way. i was just touching up a wedding photo for my parents and looked at all the people they had in their wedding party (and knowing my family) and can see what they must have been up against. even though there have been a few bumps in the road while trying to get everyone onboard, at the end of the day it's for us and i think that this photo which shows a lot of compromise just reinforces why the destination wedding is the way to go.

getting excited as heather only has a week left before she is out here...can't wait until she is finally here to stay (as i'm sure she is) it'll be nice to have a social circle again, even if it's more of a triangle.
