So for everyone that doesn't already know, Daniel and I got married on May 30th 2015. Two days after the wedding Daniel had to return to Regina, Saskatchewan for another month and a half of training. :( On April 12th 2015 Daniel began training in Regina to become a Correctional Officer, half way through, he came home and married me, then went back and completed his training. We found out part way through his training that he would be assigned to the Drumheller Institution in Alberta and would begin work 2 and a half weeks after graduating. On July 8th my father-in-law and I attended Daniels graduation, we all flew home on the 9th. Daniel and I had about 1 week to visit family and friends before our big move out to Alberta.
We were so blessed to have amazing friends (basically family), Ron and Penny, living only an hour from Daniels new work. (I grew up with Ron and Penny and Ron actually married Daniel and I) They have allowed us to stay with them until we gain possession of our own home. We couldn't be more thankful for everything they have done for us and all the delicious food they have been feeding us! :)
Daniel and I are getting our own home very soon though! We are in the process of getting the finances and insurance sorted out, the home inspection is on Saturday morning and then we are set! We are to take possession on September 16th, but it could be sooner because its already vacant. It would be great if it was sooner so we could take advantage of Daniels week off work to move everything and get settled. We can't wait to finally have our own place and I think Kensie, our new pup, will enjoy it too!
We had our hearts set on a cute little place right in Drumheller and all was going well right up until we had the inspection done. They found asbestos in the attic. If you dont know what that is.. click here.. http://www.hiddenkiller.ca/what-it-can-do.asp So clearly we didnt go through with that one. The day after we heard the news Daniel and I went on a crazy house hunting adventure and found the perfect place. It's 15 mins from Daniels work, has way more space than the other one (extra bedroom and bathroom), fenced yard for Kensie and just to top it off... has an incredible view!!! Oh, and it is $77 000 less than the first place!! Like I said, PERFECT! We are praying the inspection goes well on Saturday and if it does we will wave all the conditions and Daniel and I will finally be Home Owners!
Well I guess thats all for now.
I'll keep you posted!
