The 10 Year Plan Continued..................................

Where to begin after I left off my last blog on the 10 Year Plan. Oh yes,. since I last wrote, I have been reminded that we are now living in what would be called our 3rd -10 year Plan action, I have to think where I left off. Oh yes, we had just completed our beautiful house on Hengestone and were supposed to live happily ever after in that totally finished house with all the luxurious a wife and woman could ever imagine, plus the luxurios of riding mountain bikes with her cell phone. Our 2 daughters are grown up, daughter # 1 has graduated, and daughter # 2 taking her grade 12 and dental assistant course. My beautiful gorgeous wonderful wife has so much time on her hands and so many friends, but as the storey goes, we receive a little "hic-cup" in our life. Some would call it a surprize or a Whoopsie, but my wonderful wife and I took it in good stride. No it was not another baby as some might be thinking. You see Mr. needsattention has been working for this wonderful construction company with the President of the company being a very good family friend. So Mr. President approaches Mr. needsattention and asks if he would like to do a small project out of town,  mr. needsattention has to think about this as well as thinks it might be good if mr.needsattention's wife has a say into this. Well to the  dismay of mr. needsattention, the wonderful wife says ' Yes, Let's do it"! Whoa what a shocker that was. Anyway, mr. needsattention and the mrs. leave the beautiful comforts of our most gorgeous place in Abbotsford with all the luxurious of that home, we leave our mountain bikes, and cell phone and head to this very unknown place called Sun Peaks. Ok so this place is not totally in a foreign country, but is also known as Todd Mountain. This mountain being very close to the dirty, brown, God forsaken place called Kamloops. Wow what a contrast to the luscious, green, beautiful comforts of Abbotsford. Culture shock is beginning to set in for mr. needs attention.. But the mrs. always looking for adventure was ok with this. She wanted to be in this remote place away from the rat race of Abbotsford and all the activities mr. needsattention was involved in. So in 1997 began our new life away from the comforts, friends and good life we had in Abbotsford. So you are asking what does that have to do with the 10 Year Plan. Allow me to explain how important that was. The actual time we left Abbotsford was in May 1997, basically in mid year, also this year we had not set any goals so it is was very loosey, goosey, (exuse the french) in what our life will be about. Tha'ts ok because now we will be living in this place where anything goes. It is a ski haven or total resort living. Well you know mr.needsattention gets into this way of living pretty quickly. No more responsibilities, no after work projects, it is vacation time and ski time. Yahoo! Life is good when there are no committments anymore. Life is a Party for mr. needsattention and after 2 years of this party the missus is having enough, even though we are living in Timberline Village and looking at a beautiful mountain each day. Her husband is not around as he is having way too much fun skiing and quadding at this most gorgeous place. The story does not end here and so stay tuned for more on:
