Well, even as I type this post my father is driving to Peace River. I am expecting in about an hour from now. Now that the end is here I am very ready to get out of here soon.
Depending on things are looking after he gets here we may leave this afternoon and stop at a hotel along the way for the night. Otherwise we will be leaving first thing tomorrow morning.
I'm looking forward to being back at my home church on Sunday and going for my job interview on Monday. My next post will come from Calgary, Alberta.

Nearly packed...
Well, with one more week until moving day the vast majority of my belongings are packed and ready to go. Just a few more last minute items and a bit of cleaning left now.
It sure feels like spring in Peace River now!! I walked down to Panagos to get a pizza last night at 8pm and the sky was still light, there were lots of people walking downtown or driving with windows down, the air just had that feel of spring to it. It was such a great feeling!! Temperatures continue to be above freezing during the day and the snow is melting!! Most of the roads are fairly clear now, although a bit wet. And a sure sign that we're getting spring weather - construction!! I found myself having to take a detour today to avoid a construction zone!!

Spring is in the air...
...oh, wait!! That's snow!!
Well, we have accumulated a few more centimeters of snow on the ground since my last post. Hopefully it'll end soon.
Today I am at home for he afternoon preparing for Sunday. I am preaching at my church in the morning. This will be my last Sunday at the church here in Peace River. April 1st I'll be back at my home church in Calgary again.
Packing is coming along. I sold my bookcase on Sunday, so I only have the couch, desk, night stand and dresser to worry about now. My landlady informed me today that someone interested in renting the space where I am is coming on Saturday to speaking with her and to take a look at things, so I have to have things in good shape for that. I'll just have to speed up my schedule a bit I think.
Anyways, it's back to the books for me.

No more puddles
Well, last week the temperatures rose and allowed puddles to form in Peace River...the puddles are gone...or where they do remain they are frozen ice. We received another good batch of snow over the weekend. I've got pictures below that I took on Monday.
I'm making a bit of an announcement: I'm moving back to Calgary at the end of this month. After about 10 months in Peace River I am leaving. I've decided to give up my job here and return home to make it possible for me to save up the money I need to go to college in September of 2008. I'm a little disappointed that things didn't work out up here, but there have been many, many positive things over the months I've been here and I am glad that I've had this experience.

4 Generations
I love history and I love the heritage of my family. I don't know very much about some of my ancestoral lines, but I have been able to learn a bit about the Waters line.
Here are 4 pictures of members of the Waters family as members of The Salvation Army. First is my Great-grandparents, next my Grandma & Grandpa Waters, then my parents and last me.

PUDDLES!!
Yes, it is true and I'm very, very excited!! There are puddles in Peace River. For the first time in months we have liquid H2O on the ground!! How excited am I? I took a picture!!
I know...it isn't the most beautiful picture...but I don't care...I'm just glad to see flowing water!!
Umm...good news came this week. I received word that I have been pre-accepted to go to The Salvation Army's College for Officer Training in Winnipeg for September 2008. In order to achieve my financial goals for going back to school there will be an employment and residential change coming soon. In all likelihood I'll be headed back to Calgary. I'll let you all know when that might be happening.
Have a good weekend!!
