Well it is official, I am now a permanent employee for AREVA. AREVA is the larges Uranium mining company in the world and is based in France. I have been hired as the Administrative Assitant in Corparate Affairs. That means that I work with the executives, and VP's for the company in Saskatoon. This is such an awesome answer to prayer. No more job hunting, no more worrying about finances, I have been blessed with a wonderful career opportunity. I am officially starting on Monday, the wage is excellent, benefits are incredible and the position is extremely challenging and satisfying, my collegues are so friendly. It is everything I wanted and more.
Thank you so much to everyone who was praying for me during the last few months. I'm glad that it is all over and done and that I can focus on building a career and not about how to pay bills. Eric is pretty excited as we will have a stable routine again. I am so excited!! Thanks again for the prayers!

What About That Snow??
WOW!! What a week hey? The worst blizzard in like 50 years... haha, it was unbelievable, Magestic, Frightening, Awesome! Nature and God never cease to amaze me. We had one of the worst snow storms in 25 years and we survived! With very little damage, schools only closed for a day, citizens out it the cold just so they can help everyone get home safe. Isn't it wonderful how communities come together in times of need. It brings a smile to my heart listening to everyone's Blizzard stories of people helping people, when all you want to do yourself is just get home, but you know that that car in front of you that is stuck needs you to get out of your nice warm vehicle into the freezing winds and snow. God Bless all of you angels out there!!
I have no significant Blizzard stories, It just took me an extra hour to drive the 15 minutes home. But it was scary none the less, it was like driving and not having a clue as to where you are on the road, if there were any cars around you... I just hope I never have to do it again.
Eric on the other hand was thrilled with the snow, and doesn't understand why he can't play in it. I will let him bundle up and build a fort or whatever when its a bit warmer.
I had the opportunity to clear my dads sidewalk, I believe it took Kitrina and I about 2,5 hours to clear the snow. My dad is off in Texas for a bit of a holiday this month and kindly bought a snowblower for us to use is his absense, I'm not sure what possessed him to buy it this year, but boy am I glad he did, because if it took 2.5 hours with a snowblower, without it I'm afraid that we'd still be out there shoveling. Now were was my community then??? :) just kidding.
As for my week, its been fairly laid back, I'm still loving work. Just for the record, I am not a permanent employee it is just a temporary job at AREVA. But it is the most wonderful place that I have ever worked. My collegues are great, the position is challenging... everything I could ask for in a career. So keep praying! And for my Australian friend, I am actually positioned in Canada, Saskatoon SK, so any family or friends that may have read his comments, I have not packed up and moved to France, however if the opportunity should arise, I would not turn down the offer.
I could babble on and on but I think that's enough for this week.

I HATE BLOGGING
So I'm not so sure what the great thing about blogging is. I started my account in December and I haven't been able to post another blog until today. Why? you may be thinking, perhaps because of the Birthday parties I complained about in my first blog, Christmas, New Years, Work, all that stuff, but you are so wrong. It is because I could not log back in.
Weird hey? at first I thought well maybe its because I have a Dinausaur aged computer which is very slow, but no, that wasn't it, and then I thought maybe I don't know my username or password, but I could sign in. I just couldn't add a post. So enjoy this one for it may be the only one you read until next month!
My life right now is fairly quiet. I continue to look for meaningful, challenging work and am enjoying the temporary positions I get assigned to. This month I am working at AREVA which is a great place to work, I would love to get on permanent there as they treat all of their employees like gold. My position is Legal Administrative Assistant, and I work with all of the VP's as well as the CEO for the company. The greatest part is that it is a company based in FRANCE so I get to practice speaking french with my co-workers.
Other than that everything is normal. Eric is back at school and enjoys being around all his friends again. What a blessed year he has had, he continues to make huge steps in his fine motor skills, he has made lots of friends this year, and he is just so happy to have stable routine. Thank you for all the prayers and encoragement!
