Yesterday afternoon we took a drive up to the Highlands to take a look at the lot he'll be working on. It's way up on the mountain on rocky soil. The ground is so hard that they don't even have to dig a hole to start the foundation. A little different from the prairies, I guess...
Micah was happy to find an endless supply of rocks on site.
This weekend Erik was pretty busy gearing up for his first week on the new job and also doing worship at church (x 3 services!) and even some extra drum recording for our worship pastor, but Micah and I had a pretty relaxing weekend. On Friday night Doug & Elissa drove us to the big annual MCC Sale at the Tradex. For those of you who haven't experienced this, it is like mecca for Mennonites! The place is packed out with people and you can eat your choice of Mennonite delicacies from farmer sausage and perogies to roll kuchen and watermelon. And you literally can't walk five steps without running into somebody you know. It's pretty crazy. I didn't have my camera, but you can check out Kirsten's blog for a picture of us enjoying some pie and ice cream.
Saturday was a pretty quiet day, then Sunday was church and our regular family time in the evening. We were pretty excited to watch the Canadian Idol finale followed by the season premiere of Amazing Race! We were pleased that Eva Avila won (still not Greg Neufeld, but what can you do...)

I hope day #1 went well for Erik. I am sure he'll do great. You look great Jamie. I was at the MCC fair too - on Saturday though and hidden away in the finance department (volunteer from ECU). Sadly I missed most of the good food :( By the time I made a break from my hideaway everyone was packing up.
hey Jamie, you look great, and we had our MCC sale in Brandon on Sat. and we had all the mennonite delacisies(Is tthat spelled right) We ran into deb and Brian and wandered around with them,a nd your fight, we just kept running into people. Anyway, erik we prayed for you this morning. Remember, keep your focus on Christ, and you 'll be fine. Love mom
I hope Erik's work goes well. Praise the Lord for opening doors. I hear a quote once, "God is seldom early, but never late."
We watched those same two shows last night. who are you cheering for in AR?
Sorry that was me, Rebekah who posted the last comment! :0)
