Is anybody out there???

It been some time since I had any comments. I know there are some people out there, so if you would be so kind as to leave a comment occasionally it would be nice. I know this sounds slightly pathetic but looking at that ) is kinda disheartening. Ok, my plea is over.

So my mommy and dad have been here for a for a couple weeks now and will be here for 2 more. Its been awesome. And it couldn't have come at a better time as we are now preparing to leave the province!!

Yup you heard me. We are POSTED!! WOOHOO!!! Finally!!

We knew it was coming for sometime now as James got his OT (Occupational Transfer). He has left the Navy and his old trade as a NCIOP (Naval Combat Information Operator) and will soon be starting his new career. He has chosen, and got accepted, to become a EO Tech (Electronic Optronic Technician). Which used to be called FSC Tech (Fire and Control Systems). From what I know of the trade, which isn't much, he will be fixing firing control systems on things like tanks and such. I think. LOL!! I guess if you want the exact description you can check out the Recruiting Website.

He received word a few months ago that he had been accepted and his ship had him posted to a shore unit until the time came for his remuster. He has been working on base lately working at BMP (Base Manning Party) that gets to do all the odd jobs that come around. I have been still working at my normal job at Base Logistics, so nothing really has been any different.

We had requested some time ago that I too get posted when he starts all of his retraining and it FINALLY happened. We couldn't be more excited. We have both been posted to CFB Borden as of 13 Oct. James won't be there long as his POET (Performance-Oriented Electronic Training) course start near the end of October in Kingston for over 6 months. But at least Me and the kids will be in Borden where he can come home come weekends. YA!!!!! Then when he is done that course he will have to do his 3's training in Borden for another 6 months. YA!!! We will be in the same town again :) Then after that......who knows. We will have to (not that we have much of a choice) go wherever "they" tell us.

So now that we have word that all of this is going to happen, its going to happen fast. We have less that 2 months to get the house sold, and organise all of the stuff that comes with a move like this. I need to take some DEEP breaths as this is going to be a whirlwind. I will try to keep you posted as to how everything is going. Keep your fingers crossed for us :) I just may have a nervous breakdown. LOL!!!!!!

More from the trip

We had some visitors on mom's street.

Train Ride

The kids loved the train. They had fun playing, building forts with a lady that I work with who was also on the train and just being able to move unlike a plane.














There are a tonne more. And the are on my flickr.

A month of catch up.

I'm baaaaaaack. With the kids gone I kinda got lazy. Ok, lazier than normal. LOL!! I won't bore you with much chatter but I will post a crap load of pics to make up for the lack of posts. I'll start with the trip up, it was good. For the most part so were the kids.

Waiting for Grandpa's bus.



Grandpa's here!!!




On the ferry.

We got into Vancouver and we are waiting for Grandma Gail before we go get on the train. The kids at this point didn't know we were taking the train. Keenan was some excited when he figured it out.
