material value....
I thought I would write a quick note before I go to work. Matt is in St. John for his overnight trip. I hope he didnt have too much fun without me. :) I actually got a lot accomplished. I cleaned up our apartment. Made some dessert for my friends on saturday... and for Matt too. (Matt is going kayaking with the guys, and Im going shopping/walking with the girls) I got some laundry done and I relaxed.
Annelie came over after her sunday school meeting. We looked at all the wedding pictures and she thought that the pictures Mike and Tante Karen took were MUCH better than the actual photographers pictures. She was telling me everything that I could do with the pictures and I told her that it wasnt really worth my time or anything. SO now she is going to do it. hehehe. So if you could all burn a copy of your pictures and I could get them the next time I am home.
Thanks!
I woke up really early this morning, the sun was shining in my room and a moquito was buzzing around my ear. Ugh! I think I caught it but I never did see the body. I think it might still be in my bed somewhere... eww! Where ever it went it didnt bother me anymore.
Anyway, I should mosey on to work. I get to pick Matt up from work today and then we are going to Annelie's for supper and we are going to go and work on the house again. Here are a bunch of pictures of the place.

Im Back!
What a wonderful time Matt and I had in PEI. The dirt is so beautiful there. I think when you live there you dont really notice. But the contrast of PEI soil to the really green grass was absolutely beautiful.
I think we almost got to say at least hi, to most people. We didnt get to visit Uncle Marten and Tante Karen this time... but hopefully next time!
We got home last night around 8. Matt found another VW buddy to cruise with. NO, he didnt know the guy. But we drove behind each other all the way from Moncton. They found each other on Custom Obsessions today and they both complimented each other's cars. Awhhh so cute. hehe. When we got home I hopped in the shower and Matt made some salsa for supper. And we watched what we thought was the last movie of Harry Potter. But apparently a new one is coming out in November.
Other than that, I cant think of anything else that would be interesting for you to hear about. We both had a great days at work. I had another new kid at work and he is the cutest little thing and really quite well behaved too. Hopefully that lasts. haha.
Anyway... love you all and have a super day!
Love matt and Amanda

Blogging Again... Finally!
Matt and I are in the middle of watching the entire series of Harry Potter. It is interesting. That is all I really have to say. It is ficton and I know that so I am not going to go into wizardry or anything. I'm not watching it with the thought that any kids are going to watch it so I am not really thinking about whether or not it is suitable for young impresionable children. haha
Matt and I had a really nice long weekend. Monday was a holiday and it was going to be a good blog writing day since it was raining. I cleaned the entire apartment in the morning and it was so nice and clean and so relaxing. We went to Annelie's to bring back her dish and then we ended up staying for lunch. Then she took us to a house around her area that she is looking after. The couple that live there both have Alziemers and currently do not have the mental capacity to look after their own affairs and since they do not have any family everything they have goes to the government. Annelie was hired by the social worker to take all the junk out of the house and then the apraisers will go through and price everything.
It is really kind of sad to go through the house. We cleaned out the clothes closet and we found some really cute dresses from like 80 years ago. It just makes you wonder where the lady wore the dress and why she kept it.
When you really look at it thought. Annelie and I are strangers to these people and we dont know anything about them and yet we are the ones going through their things and deciding what is worthless and what we might be able to get some money from. There are some pretty valuable things there and there is no son or daughter to leave it all too. It's sad, but it definately puts things into perspective.
Anyway, Work is going extremely well for both Matt and I. Our work schedules work out pretty well with each other. Tonight we picked up supper from Annelie and went home and relaxed. It was SOOOO nice!!!
Anyway..... Matt is waiting to watch Harry Potter again! So I should go. Love you and we will seee some of you on the weekend! YAY!
Love Matt and Amanda

Update
Hey Guys!
How are things going with all of you? I hope that you are all doing well. Things here are going well. Matt and I are started to get settled into a routine. I dont know how long it will last but it is a routine and we all know those are good.
Matt made supper tonight while I started on some much needed laundry. I seem to get a lot dirtier at the new place. I also started on the dusting. I think I will finsh tomorrow. I have to work late tomorrow and then I am going to get my eyebrows waxed. I have to admit I am looking forward to getting them done... it has been such a long time.
Other than that, there isnt much news to tell. Sad I know. But work is going really well and I am learning so much and I feel like I am contributing well too. It's all good. My doctoers medical form came today, which was so exciting since I was a little worried that I wouldnt get it or that it would be a lot more work than it was!!! I also got my first paycheck today. YAY! Matt is doing well too and is starting to travel around fredericton more and look at culverts.
Anyway... thats my news. Love you all!

new beginnings
Im sure you are are sitting there wondering how my first day at work went, but think I am so egotistical that I imagine you all sitting by the computer clicking the refresh button just hoping that I have updated. But I know you all care how it was... so here it goes.
My first day at work was EXCELLENT! They even feed me there and I dont have to take a lunch. I am working with a girl who is extremely talented in delivering the emergent curriculum. This way of teaching is totally child directed and is done my following the child's lead in what they want to learn about and then teaching it to the children through play. I honestly can't imagine a better person to really be learning how to do this well. It is really exciting. I think our personalities will mesh well. They are so happy to have me there.... and I am NEEDED! So far so great!!! At this job I can bank hours and take afternoons off... I can work more hours if I need money. I can be sick and have hours saved so I can still get paid. It's sweet!!!!
Matt got to drive his new work car around a little bit today. He has to drive a sunfire and after I picked him up he got behind the wheel and said... "ahhh... it feels so good to drive a real car" He is so cute and I think he is going to miss the Vdub this summer. haha. He had to go to the other side of the river with his partner (for the whole summer) Jared (so now you know who jared is for future reference) They had to look at culverts that have recently been replaced so they know what they look like and what a new one would look like if they recommend that they should be replaced. Matt said they havent actually been shown any that look in poor condition. But I am sure that will come. The rest of this week is going to be training and then I guess we'll find out how much traveling this job willr eally entail. I guess I am counting on matt being gone for the rest of the summer a little bit. But he should be home on weekends.
Our babysitting weekend was good. Matt and I had a good time and enjoyed it a lot. I think I can finally understand why Mom liked having her time for herself at night. I still like spending time with matt but It sure was nice when the kids finally went to bed so Matt and I could really talk about the day and stuff. The kids were really good though and I would definitely do it again but I am not really in a rush to have my own kids. hehe.
anyway.. .thats enough reading and I still have to catch up on your blogs. I feel like I havent touched a computer in forever. haha
Love you all!

A Quick Note!
Hey Guys
I just wanted to leave you a quick note and let you know that we are both doing pretty well. Matt's first day of work went pretty well. It was a lot of paperwork and the rest of this week is going to be training. He is on a Team with a guy named jarrod and Matt is the leader of the team. So that is neat. He has a work cell phone and some other cool toys and a bright orange vest. :) I think he will enjoy the job and I hope that it all works out well.
I am determined to have a good last week at work and I am positive about my new job. I think it will be a lot of fun.
Matt and I are babysitting starting Thursday night right until Sunday Evening. We are bringing the kids to a sitter Friday day. It will be like real life. yay! haha. It should be fun.
Other than that things are going well here. The Flood waters receeded dramtically before sunday again and Fredericton is almost back to normal. The bottom of the river is still quite flooded though I think.
Anyway. I hope you all have a really great week and I will write again soon.
Love you all so much,
Love Matt and Amanda
