Hallelujah!

FINALLY.  Justin got a job!!  We found out on Tuesday (which was also our 3 year anniversary).  Its an 8 month contract, but who cares, its a job!  It means I'll have a two hour commute to school, but that's only two days a week.  Yesterday we went looking for apartments, and tomorrow we sign a lease for one of them!  I'm so excited, its a 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in a home.  Its got hardwood floors and a laundry room!!  I can't wait to start decorating it and posting before and after pictures!  We move in January 1st.

I am just so thankful that Justin has a job.  We have been praying about this since March.  I was beginning to really worry that we would have to live with family for who knows how much longer.  Again, the Lord has taught me that it never fails to trust in him.

These past few days were just so good.  We went away overnight for our anniversary to a cute town called 'Niagara-on-the-lake.'  We got to stay at a 5 star hotel for less than half price because the original place we had booked at closed for the season and moved us.

Here is our hotel:



Here is a picture I took of our beautiful lamp in our room: 


We walked around Fort George which had been captured by the Americans during the War of 1812:



This picture I took at a cafe because I thought "Angela always takes pictures of her and Paul, I need to put up one of me and Justin": 


Last but not least, our dear Beatrix who put up with being dressed up for Christmas:


Life is so good right now.  Its great.  I feel so relieved and light and excited.  Merry Christmas Everyone!!

  2. Candice, I am so happy for you two! What a wonderful new season of life you will be beginning! It really will seem like it after living with your family for so long - as grateful as I know you were for that provision, it is sooooo so nice to get your own place again! What fun that you go to get away and celebrate your anniversary and the new job!
