We had a wonderful summer this year. Clarissa and Stewart moved into the apartment next to ours. We both took advantage of that great opportunity and we loved it. Clarissa would see me coming home from work exhausted and would invite us over for dinner. Mardy and I, well mostly Mardy, had the chance of being able to watch Owen and Ellie while Clarissa and Stewart were working. Raven loves to play with them and she's even learned some of Ellie's charming behavior (maybe its just the age). In September we moved to Fort Macleod where I took another job there because of the increase in the wage. More work = more money. We love Fort Macleod so much and we were so sad to leave it last time. It truly felt like coming home. In the spring Mardy was offered two job opportunities to become a Chartered Accounting student. After much thought it was certain that our desire was to still follow the law school dream. If Mardy were to take either of those job that chance would have been lost, possibly forever. So on Faith we are following the dream. After looking into more schools and deciding that Tax law is the law Mardy, or I should start saying Marden, is desiring we have found a school in Bournemouth England. That right, England. I don't think I could be more excited or scared at the same time. I have yet to find out what it would be like to be almost completely isolated from my family. Luckily we live in the age of the internet. I'm not sure I would be able to make that same sacrifice that our ancestors did to come to America if it wasn't for the constant communication that the internet provides. Mardy is also applying to other schools in Canada but is having a hard time willing himself to apply to the States. It is easier to come back to Canada from England than it is to come back from the US. So if everything works out perfectly we will be on the South Coast of England next September. For now I am a busy bee at work and Mardy is staying home to look after Raven.
