merry christmas to us.......a little early

we bought a van!!! nothing exciting or fancy but we meaning karim researched and found us one on kijiji and we paid cash and it was very well taken care of, with new tires and a brand new windshield. we aren't doing christmas for each other this year....just stockings (which is my favorite) our main goal this year was to get out of debt and get a van and a few things that we needed....and that's what we did. i'm quite proud of ourselves.

another update with life- karim got ahold of immigration and they said that we'll be getting something the first week of december....the problem is we don't know if it's his residency papers OR his open work visa. either way it's a step to moving forward with life haha. even if it is his work visa his papers aren't to far behind.

so we can move and he can start work anywhere he wants until he can start school. my only drawback is moving jaylene and ryder in the middle of the school year. but i'm having a problem with that all together....i'm so used to the small town, know all the teachers life and i'm so nervous about moving to a city.

there is nothing compared to our choirs and jaylene loves choir. our pre-school is quite advanced to where they're learning mostly kindergarten stuff. ryder is in a speech program that in a city school he would have no chance at. PLUS my kids don't do well with adjustments....but on the other side....we can't continue to stay at my parents especially with another baby and nothing really for karim to do. so thats my life haha, i'll let you know what we decide :) oh and either way we won't move until after i have the baby cuz with my back pain i'm pretty useless so poor karim would have to do it all.
