The Last Few Months...

Our Dog
Originally uploaded by Kawakatoose.

The last few months have been a time of tremendous change for Charity and myself. Over the summer, things seemed to be happening so fast, and yet so slow, but now, we've come to the fall and things are starting to settle into a holding pattern of sorts, though there are still a lot of uncertainties for us to work out.

So, what's new? Well, we're no longer in Hodgeville. In fact, we're no longer living in the Southwest. Charity is now teaching grade one at the George Gordon Education Centre on the George Gordon First Nation, about an hour north of Regina. We bought a house nearby, which seems to have been a good idea. I've been subbing in various schools. Some days have gone better than others. I'm also looking into some other possibilities.

Another new thing is that we have a dog. He's a bit of a handful sometimes, but he's generally fun to have around. One of the teachers was moving to BC and didn't think she could keep him, so she gave him to us. He's about eight years old and pretty well trained. He's also pretty clean and doesn't shed much, so he's a pretty good dog to have around.

If you're still reading this, thanks. I'm sorry for not posting. As I said, it's been a... complicated... few months. I hope to post more, even if nothing terribly interesting is happening. It gives me the chance to practice my writing skills and maybe organize my thoughts better. Anyway, I hope all is well. Take care.
