It's been a long time!

It's been a long time since we've updated, at great fault of my own.

In a vain attempt to avoid school work, I'm finding the time to post now though :)

So, whats new in our lives? Not a terrible amount- here are some highlights though:

We are now the proud owners of a Wii. And unfortunately (for my schoolwork) this thing is even more fun than we anticipated. Mom and Dad came up last weekend and played with it a bit - they got pretty stinking good at Wii bowling. However my favorite part of the whole ordeal is the "virtual console" where you can purchase older games to play on the Wii - for example, for $5 I now have Super Mario Brothers 3. A good time had by all.


Speaking of Mom and Dad, in about 36 hours they will be on their way to Mexico for a couple days. While I work on school. Bah, I can't wait to be done school... next year... theoretically, at least.
In all it's wisdom, ABU has dropped Greek from it's course offerings, leaving poor Biblical Studies students like myself completely in a bind. When I asked the registrar's office what I should do, my options were to wait until 2011 or (direct quote) "If you want to take Greek so bad, take it through Briercrest." Seeing as I'll pay over $20 000 to ABU for their degree, I don't care for that answer.

And, in a very sad turn of events, as of January 31st, Blessings Moncton (along with many other stores) will be closing. Due to some *sloppy accounting* on the part of the previous ownership of the chain, an insurmountable debt had arisen, and many of the stores were forced to close or become privatized. It saddens me to know this had to happen this way, Mark Hutchinson, the CEO and Alton, the Moncton store manager are both excellent men with chasing the Lord's desires close to their hearts. It is very sad to see something that I've been a part of, off and on, volunteer and paid, close, however God is in control, and he promises to use ALL things to his glory.

Anyway, the textbook 3 inches from my leg is dying to be read. And I'll be dying as I read it.
