Well I went to a "job fair" last Wednesday that was suppose to be for immigrants. it really wasn't a job fair as much as it was a learn about the heritage and culture of Canada so that was a big waste of half my day I was really disappointed...
They didn't really have any employers there it was more schools that offer English language courses or info booths on how to be a citizen and what not.
Cheryl found a recruiter for the Calgary Health Region and I sent her a resume they work with foreigners like me who need LMO's and work permits so I sent her my resume yesterday and she contacted me today saying she would fwd it on to some of the differ ant facilities so keep your fingers crossed and PRAY!!
I also have been offered another job that will give me all the papers and stuff I need to work here but I'm holding off on accepting it and informed him about my pending job situation with the Calgary Health. If all else fails I will take the job at Tim Horton's
The reason I'm holding off is for a couple of reasons
1. it's a fast food place (not very exciting)
2. if I do accept the job as part of the paperwork I need I am signing a 2 year contract to work for this employer. (I don't want to have to do fast food for 2 years!!)
Shannon Starts school tomorrow so she's gonna be very busy with work and school so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
I'm still working for Shannon's dad at the print shop or as Cheryl, Steve and I call it the "smoke house" I like the work but I hate being there with all those smokers it's not fun for me and my asthma!! I come home every night smelling gross and have to shower again.
That's about it. The weather has been around 70 the last week or so and it rained on Sunday.
Be sure to check out the link I put right below this blog and above the pictures I have, it's a link to a free website I have and it's an online photo album I've made of my time here in Canada so far so ENJOY!!
Thanks again for the emails, the pictures, and to Aunt Amy for the Tony Gwynn stuff I got that today.
Take care and I miss you all very much

Well here it's been a couple weeks since I wrote so here's whats been going on.
I turned 30 on the 15th thanks for all the e-cards. WE went to see Josh Groban that night the show was great he's got an awesome voice a a great personality he was very comedic at times with his dialog. They surprised me by taking me to "the Keg" for dinner that's a super nice steak house here in Calgary.
On Sunday we went to the zoo we got in free cause Cheryl's company was having a appreciating family day at the zoo. The zoo is alot smaller than the SD Zoo and doesn't have nearly as many animals or exhibits but we still had a good time.
Other than that Shannon and I have been busy working her at Vons me at her dads print shop.
Shannon Starts her schooling next week and I'm hoping to maybe start some upgrading courses in the real near future as well.
I hope all is well with everyone and to all the students getting ready to go back to school or have started already I hope you all have a great school year. I still can't believe Chelsea is a Senior!!!
Keep up the emails and the picture sending I love them!!
Good job Matt on your recent fishing trip!
Take care and I miss everyone

Well the streak stopped at 29 years 11 months and 25 days!!! That's how long I went before I broke a body part. I broke my left little toe on the door jam of the entertainment room trying to avoid stepping on the dog lying in the doorway, man did it hurt!! I'm just glad it wasn't something more serious considering I don't have health insurance....
On Saturday Shannon and I went to a farmers market I found a 2 foot zucchini for $1.00 I couldn't pass it up I had to buy it I have never seen a zucchini so big(there is a picture of it at the bottom of the page)
I'm doing some side work for Shannon's dad at his printing shop putting together some child safety awareness packets for the Canadian Red Cross it will only take a couple weeks to complete but at least it's some money coming in while I wait to get a permanent job and get my visa stuff completed. Oh Speaking of jobs I have an interview with an employment agency tomorrow morning who might be able to help place me with a company that has the paperwork I need so I can get my work permit so please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
There really hasn't been to much else going on, just getting ready for the big 30th bday on Wednesday. I don't think they'll be a big party or deal about it. As far as I know I'm just gonna be hanging out with Shannon then going to the Josh Groban concert that night.
I hope everyone is doing good and I miss you all very much.
Please be sure to write and send me pictures so I can see how everyone is.
Until next time
Josh

Well I've been here for a whole month now. Not really anything to exciting going on, right now I'm watching the Padres game on tv they just struck out Barry Bonds I love it!!
Shannon is at work until 10:45pm so I'm having a Josh night watching baseball and playing on the computer.
As it relates to my job situation I found a company who is in the process of getting the paperwork I'll need to get my work permit so maybe in a month I'll have a job!!!
Shannon and I hung out in downtown Calgary yesterday I was able to do some sightseeing as she was downtown registering for school and taking a couple tests. I went to Olympic park (a park and big fountain/wadding pool from when Calgary had the Olympics back in the 80's) I should have brought the camera maybe next time...
My 30th birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Still can't believe I'll be 30 seems like yesterday I was a teen thinking how far away 30 would be now it's 12 days away I'm excited about getting to go see Josh Groban that night Thanks to Shannon's mom who got us tickets :-)
well that's all for now please keep in touch by emailing me boltman77@hotmail.com or leaving comments I love to hear from you all.
Miss you very much
