Hello familia,
I have been putting off writing a post for way too long. So this September 13th, 2007, I will undo that. Currently I am employed and not going to school and I will procede to explain. During the summer I was offered a job with a land surveying company, and I enjoyed every minute of it, So I decided that my career is going to be in surveying. Sorry to all those that I led astray by telling them I was going to be a teacher, I apologize. I’m sure teaching is a good profession. So the plan is to work in Red Deer a year and next September go to school in Edmonton for Geomatics Technician which is a two year program. So that means at least a few more years in sunny Alberta. That’s the current plan but it is subject to change.
That was my hot and heavy news, the rest is light. All those who only care for heavy news can tune out now and procede to surf the interweb, fine with me. For those who care to hear a little more, I enjoy the company. This Tuesday I am going to see an Edmonton Oilers pre season game. Against the Maple Leafs!!! Yeah, I’m sure you guys are as excited as me. I had to pay a bit extra to get those tickets because everyone wants to see the Leafs, but I’m sure it will be worth it. I’ve started a countdown to the regular season and am really looking forward to it. Last night we had frost, so I’m sure the snow is coming soon- that means outdoor rinks in the near future. I’m thinking next week. That was sarcasm for anyone who didn’t catch it, but there really was frost. Anyways, as you can see most of my post is just filler banter because I don’t have plans to get married just yet and I don’t have any kids on the way. I’m sorry my news can’t be as exciting as the rest of yours, just bear with me. This past summer I did alot of camping, which is much more exciting than Ontario camping. One campsite we had was half an hour up a mountain outside of Canmore. Simply beautiful. I’m going to a Matthew Good concert on the 22nd of September for anyone who cares. I guess that’s news. Um, I just bought a chocolate bar from the kids who were selling them at the door. Oh boy, I’m really reaching. Anyways, good night and good luck.
Nicholas, but you can call me Nick

Chocolate?? mmmmmmmmmmm (drool) Nick, congratulations on the job, that is super cool but I bet your parents are having a rough time letting you be so far for a few more years! I can relate! Well we really enjoy reading your posts, lots of good news too. Keep in touch!

Hey there, Nick. It was good to read your post! Congrats on the job…too bad that you’re stuck out there for another few years though. But, I hear Alberta is a beautiful place to be so I’m sure you’re loving it!!! Enjoy the chocolate bar too!

Hey Nick, that’s awesome that you have a 2 year plan, and it sounds like a good one. I hope it eventually takes you back to Ontario though. I say this on behalf of all of us who miss our “far away” kids and siblings.

Alright buddy…since your out in this area I think its about time you get together with us again…i’m coming to realize you’re a very impossible person to get ahold of so you’re gonna have to make an effort here. As much as I’m sure everyone out in Ontario is sad you’ve decided to come out here, I can say the west coast VV’s are pretty happy about it! Love to see you again though, me, Mark and Tom all live together now too, so you have no excuse!
Hear from you soon..Karen
