hey everyone!!!
so, i went to finally update today, and post some pics on this long-forgotten blog, and realised that our camera cord is nowhere to be found. which probably means that it did not make it into the good ole' US of A at all. so that is pretty poopy, no interesting pictures AGAIN. i don't even read other people's blogs, unless there are pictures! i'm so hypocritical.

some interesting tid-bits.
- most people in maine do not know where nova scotia is, even though the ferry goes directly from portland (where we live) to nova scotia. the man at the driver's licence place did not even know that nova scotia is in canada. he said he thought we were our own country. come on man, you work for the government!! shouldn't you know these things???
- for some reason, most of the stop light intersections will not let you turn left when there is a green light, right beside that green light is usually a lovely red arrow prohibiting this. why? when there are no cars, shouldn't i be able to go?!!!
- you can't use debit everywhere. i have to carry cash again, and i don't like it! plus, it always looks like i have a money, 'cause it's all the same color, but usually it's only ones, so disappointing.
- it takes 3 weeks to get your license and your bank card, 'cause they have to print it. i guess their printer is really slow.

anyway, for the most part, we are enjoying our time here, sometimes it's just funny to think that canada is more advanced than the US in some ways :)

on our weekends off, we have spent a LOT of hours in the mall, 'cause we don't know what else to do. we had to stay in a motel this past weekend, and check out by 11am on sunday, so we had to find somewhere to hang out until 9pm. this was actually quite exhausting, we were glad to get home to the three kids!! we miss everyone at home like crazy, it's pretty impossible to meet people here with our hours, but we're hoping and praying!!
we're not sick of each other yet, so that's good, we've spent every moment of every day together, but i'm super glad joe is here with me, i love him!!!

some random thoughts those were, but hopefully we buy a cord soon.......
take care everyone
