Remembering When and NOW

Just read through this blog---love it!!!

Wished I would have kept it up.

Now February 2011.

Sarah has 2 children: Cienna 3 yrs and Brayden 1 yr.

She is with Ryan.....funny same name a bf a while back Huh!

Cliff is a journey man apprentice.

Boys have Graduated.

Claudette (me) works at Sprott-Shaw---the best job yet after all the turmoil through jobs in the posts previous years!

And GOD is GOOD!!!

Summer 2007

Well, about time for an update!
Looks like there will be a little addition to the Furrer Family.
Sarah is due September 29th!!!
So we are busy working on a baby room in our house, we just finished the bathroom in the basement! (What's that commercial about "quit giving them cheeze!")
Sarah has been quite ill during her pregnancy and unable to work, however, she did finish Emergency Medical Responder Course and passed with flying colors! Obviously, a good career choice for her!!! She will continue to work towards her goal to be a paramedic.

Cliff has finished his first segment of Electrical Apprentice, he also did well after he dusted off his brain cells. So I guess now he's called a 2nd year apprentice. He continues to work for a good friend of ours and loves it!

Caleb and Micah have gotten a couple of mowing jobs this summer which have given them a bit of extra cash. They continue to be the slave labor for a local newspaper delivery.

Myself, I took a bit of time off due to a work incident, but I'm "all better now" and was the camp nurse again this summer which is always a highlight!

But must go as I'm doing this at work, don't tell!

Maybe next time I'll add some pictures!

Theme Verse for 2007

Jeremiah 6:16

This is what the LORD says:

"Stand at the crossroads and look;

ask for the ancient paths,

ask where the good way is,

and walk in it,

and you will find rest for your souls."

Green Lake Summer 2006

Micah and Dad on the sailboat. Quite a rush, expecially when Claudette tried a 180, then a 360 with the boat during high winds!! First time on the boat and dad gives me the rudder!!! Duh comes to mind!! (Sorry, Mom, for all the broken stuff thrown around the cabin below!)

Back row: Gail, Christie, Claudette, Cliff, Corey

Front Row: friend, Danielle.

We were packed into Gord's Boat and Zoomed around Green Lake really fast and really close to the shore!!! It was a blast!!

Gord uses his boat to get firewood from an island across the lake!

Sarah Update!

Hey all!!
Yep, Graduation came!!! Yahoo!!!
Had a great time, enjoy the pics.
Sarah has moved back to Kamloops and is living in our house!! Things are going quite well. She is working at Converges which is an American Express Call center---she does not do telemarketing, but she is suppose to try to sell stuff to the customers that call in. She has brutal hours, starts at 5:00am! Which means she's up at 4:00 or whenever the snooze button stops getting pressed. She's been at it for a week so she's in the training period.
Caleb and Micah just got back from serving for a day at Gospel Street Mission in Vancouver. They are just about done Grade 8.
We also are looking forward to our neice moving in soon, she wants to work in Kamloops for the summer, plus Megan (our previous border) is here somewhere too!!
Good thing its summer so we can spread to the outside!! Also, have some plans for a bathroom in the basement....must get on that!!
Thanks for your prayers and continue to pray and don't forget those prayers of thanks!!! Thinking of you all!!
Please comment annonymously or fire off an email: furby5@telus.net
cheers, Claudette

Prom Night

Sarah Graduates!!!

From GORD and COREY

Hello there, I just got high speed internet so I thought I would try sending some pictures. Most of the pictures are up on the Toad River, May long weekend (it rained & rained & the river rose & rose) and some are on the Muskwa River last weekend.
The one picture of Alanna standing on the rock in the big muddy area is a natural mineral lick up at Toad River hot springs. It is just a tiny hot springs. There were lots of moose & deer there untill the kids drove them out walking in the lick.
Last weekend up the Tuchodi river, which is a fast rocky river Cally jumped of the wrong side of the boat when it was tied and went down the river. One of the boys saw & we chased her down & by the time we ran down through the trees she had made it to shore. By that time 10 people were chasing her, Gord was in his underwear about to go in & I was holding Alanna because she was about to jump in too. Scared me half to death!! At least it wasn't Danielle!!
Well email me back if you get my email. Talk to you later. Corey

Some Changes.....

Well, I finally got back on here. Hope you enjoy the newer photos.
Actually, since my last update, Cliff's plans have changed somewhat.
He is actually working as a pre-apprentice or 1st year apprentice. I'm not exactly sure, but anyway he's working!!!!!!!!!
This is much better than going to school, cuz you know, income!! (Instead of just expenses!) He can work 1000 hours which credits him the same as 5 months of school. He's working for a great guy who just started his own electrical company Rooham Electric and this guy has an even better wife (kinda like Cliff)! I work with his wife!
Anyway, Cliff is one of 3 employees and yes, the lowest on the totem pole, being the only 1st year on the job, so he gets all the fun jobs, like crawling in rafters, etc. But he's loving it (other than the sore knees).
We've finished up AWANA for the year, so we've been concentrating on the yard, house, etc.
Sarah will be graduating next week!!!! She's really proud of herself and we are too!! If you want to send your congrats you can email power_puffin_gurl_15@hotmail.com
She's got a job here in Kamloops, so we should be seeing more of her.
I'll have to snap some pics of her when she's around! I see I don't really have any for the blog.
Anyway, enjoy the photos we do have!
If you want to send pics (AMANDA)or whatever my email is yayaclaudettesister@hotmail.com
Okay, take care!
Love you all
Claudette

Year End Awards---AWANA

Cliff added a waterfall to our pond. It took Forever to get the water flowing down, instead of off the side of rocks! And, turned out kinda small, no one seems to notice it, till we point it out!

59 Degrees

This is our 1st Swim of the year. I think it was May 6th. The wet one is Caleb. We also had some friends over and the dad (who happens to be our Pastor) paid his kids $5 to jump in----it's worth the entertainment!!!! Yeah, we're kinda sick parents!!!

Finally an UPDATE!!

Hey, yeah, cuz you know, I haven't got all that much time!!!
But glad ya' all check back to look for updates!
Life is rolling along.
Cliff is preparing to attend TRU for electrical trade appretiship prep course starting in May.
So that means our summer is fully booked, cuz he'll be in school till October.
But heh! OUR RESORT is always open to all!!!
So you'll have to come visit us, cuz I don't see any road trips happening this summer!
I've been working a few overtime shifts to try and make up the difference.
Cliff of course has taken over the house, cooking, shopping, cleaning, etc.
We are looking forward to spring and getting OUT of the house!!
Sarah is finishing up grade 12 and should finish soon.
Caleb and Micah are enjoying Grade 8 at the Christian School, so looks like they'll continue there in Grade 9. They are also involved in youth and youth bible study at church.
We are busy with AWANA every Wednesday. Cliff is now on the Deacon's board at church.
So life is moving along like usual.
So please post a comment. Also, if you email me any photos I will post them here for all to enjoy!!
Thanks
Claudette
