Somebody's gotta hold my corndog!

So I realized that after I wrote that nice little post last week about our place, I forgot to include pictures of the outside of the building! How will you know you're at the right place if you don't know what it looks like?! So this is our home from the outside!

The entrance is on the right, our unit is the one on the far left...And a close up with me - I think it looks like a school building, not a home but oh well! Today we got an entertainment unit for our living room. I saw it on Kijiji for free and the guy was nice enough to deliver it too! We still need a dresser but are making due with a free bookshelf we got from someone in Carls program!

So what have we been up to you ask? Well, this past week Carl went to all his classes and I worked Tues-Fri at the same branch. Carl pretty much has his schedule finalized and just has classes on Monday and Thursday but has lot's of reading and assignments to do to fill all his free time! Work has been good for me! I am doing a few jobs at the branch including, teller duties, the information desk and filing, all the while training a brand new gal that just started with the bank! Although I think training a new girl at a branch that I just started at myself, is a little weird, I'm flattered that they have so much faith in me already :)

On Thursday night I went out with Carolyn, a gal from Carl's program and also the girl we've been going to church with. Her and I did a bit of home decor shopping and then went out for dinner. Still no pictures for our walls but I did find "Cranium" for $3.99 at Value Villiage! Now to plan a games night!

On Saturday, Kris (a guy from Carl's program) and his fiance Kellie picked us up and we headed to Picton! We had heard that

Picton was a quaint little town with a little pig farmer, lot's of pigs and a few women. Just kidding! But I can't think of the town and not think of that - it kind of ruins it for me! Anyways, Picton was really a quaint little town about an hour or so away from Kingston. You can either take a small ferry to get there or drive the scenic route along country roads winding on the waters edge. Very close to Picton is a beautiful beach! We took a stroll along the shores of Lake Ontario and walked through a nearby campsite where the four of us have decided we are going

to camp sometime! After a late lunch we went to a small local brewery called Barley Days Brewery. We sampled the three beers that they make and even got to a try a brand new IPA beer that isn't actually finished "brewing" yet!

Today we went to church and then Carl spent the rest of the day studying! I on the other hand got wind that the Kingston Fair was happening this weekend, complete with a demolition derby! I haven't seen a demolition derby since the PNE stopped doing them years ago! Although a tad embarassed about it, I was excited! So I called up Kellie whose fiance was also studying and we watched the derby! Carolyn met us a bit later and we had a good 'ol time at the country fair! The quote for the day from a local lad "Dude, I ain't waiting in this line up, let's go hop the fence" Second lad "Alright man but somebodies gotta hold my corn dog!". Ahhhh yeah.

Overall, we think we like Kingston! It kinda has a small town feel but has a bit of a downtown area, the strip with all the box stores and enough stuff around to keep ya busy. We are close enough to stuff that we can walk to most places and are taking advantage of that while the weather is still good! It's been pretty nice here lately, although the mornings are getting colder! The leaves are beginning to change color which excites me because I've heard that fall is beautiful here! I have officially booked my ticket home for Christmas - I will be arriving December 16th at 9:07am and we figure Carl will come about 5 days later! It seems to be sneaking up so quickly already!
