Good Morning America

If any of you saw my facebook status yesterday you would have seen my excitement!  We got a letter back from the US government just saying that Mark's paperwork is being processed. 

So with that letter we can now apply for a visa for Mark! YAY!  Him getting that visa will allow us to move to the US while his green card is still getting processed!  I am definitely excited for this to all work out. So ready to get out of Canada.  Mark is soo ready to quit his job and work with his brothers.  So if this all goes to plan, Mark should start work with his brothers in like March and we should move in May or June!!! Absolutely CAN'T wait for that to all happen!

In other life news.  Something happened yesterday that I thought I would share because it made me feel very thankful.  Last night, Mark and I were at his parents house (yet again) helping them with the finishing touches of renovating their new house.  At about 9 o'clock Mark and his dad came downstairs.  Mark asked if I was ready to go.  I said sure whenever you are ready.  But then Mark's dad said why don't we try and just finish that room before you go?  Mark said okay even though he really didn't want to.  So they go at it for another half hour and Mark and I finally leave around 9:30.  As we are driving on the highway about halfway home traffic starts to slow.  Traffic starts to come to a dead stop.  A cop and a couple ambulances rush by.  Obviously there had been a really bad accident.  So we slowly creep forward and as we get closer we realize that the police have blocked off the highway and are making all traffic exit.  So Mark and I think, wow, that must have been one bad accident for them to shut the highway down.  So after a bit of extra driving, we finally get home. 

I was a bit curious when we got home and looked online to see what the deal was with that accident.  Turned out that around 9:20 or so a car got on the highway going the wrong way and hit somebody else.  Somebody died and like 3 other people were badly injured.  It made me think......

If we had left the parents house at 9 like Mark had wanted to we probably woulda been right there when the accident happened.  Just one of those things that got me thinking about the way things happen in life.  So like I said, thankful.
