And Summer Continues...

Well, summer is almost over and we haven't done much this year. Between feeling like an on-call at work and Ryan's injury causing lack of money this year, we haven't been able to have any holidays and mainly are breaking in our new place. I've applied for 2 full-time positions, basically what I'm doing now only guaranteed full-time, but probably won't hear back for a few weeks. I'll keep you posted! It's really frustrating some days to go to work and think you're working 3 full days only to find out you're working 2 half days and that's it. I'm still guaranteed half-time (35 hours every 2 weeks) but I would still love some more hours. I stayed extra hours the other day and finished some online training with no pay to try to show my dedication so we'll see how that goes next week!

Kaitlyn had her one year shots finally today and did really great. The morning was a bit busy for her and we went swimming at the Leisure Centre for Brant's birthday while Ryan worked out, so unfortunately she fell asleep right before her shots were to be administered at 12:35. She started screaming during the 2nd shot, right through the 4th, and then stopped about 30 seconds after the 4th (and final). It was much better than we had prepared for! She had a little diarrhea after and has been fussy/crying off and on since, so we're staying at home and lying low for tonight while Ryan goes over to Brad's to play poker.

So that's it for us right now! Send lots of prayers and well wishes for the jobs I applied for! As well as Ryan who reapplied for the sheriff program after his one-year deferrment from last year. Hopefully he'll be in this January and be a sheriff by March.

Take care everyone!
