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.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles....OH MY!!

So today I leave to go on an adventure with my kiddos. This should be interesting, we are definitely covering pretty much all type of travel on this trip.

We head out today with my buddy driving us by CAR to the bus depot downtown. Where we will meet up with my father and jump on his BUS to go to Vancouver. On our way to Vancouver we will be taking a FERRY. Once we get to Vancouver, and there isn't too much time in between either, we will be getting on a TRAIN, that will be taking us to Jasper, then to Prince George. We will be travelling this way for about 14 hours. HAHA!! Should be FUN!!! LOL!!!! Then once we get to George we have to get off the TRAIN and spend the night at a Hotel. And to get there we have to take a CAB (WHOLE new adventure in itself sometimes). Then back to the TRAIN in the morning where we will go up to Terrace and get in there around 6pm on Thursday the 3rd. And travel again by CAR to my mommy's house.

My turn around up there is actually going to be pretty quick. I wish I could have stayed for longer but with the possible upcoming posting we want to save a couple extra days to make a family vacation and take our time driving back to Ontario. If that happens.

So then on the 6th I am back in the CAR again to get to the TRAIN to take me to George, where I will have to spend the night again, and deal with the CABs. Then in the morning I am up and off to the airport to jump on a PLANE to Vancouver, then a BUS to Victoria, via the FERRY. To my patiently awaiting husband, where we will drive home by TRUCK.

Should be an interesting trip, I really hope the kids like it. They have never been on a train before. I can't wait to post all the pics of this adventure when I get back. See you then :)

Childbirth Song

OMG!! I got this on my facebook the other day and I just HAVE to share it. SO SO SO FUNNY!!!

More Pictures From Coombs

Little Miss Haylei waiting patiently for Wendy to show up so we could leave for Coombs.

Ooops, she caught me!!

Uhhh, not so patient any more....

I got stuck driving so there isn't any pictures on the way up.

Some pictures of the Cutest Kids on Earth!! I, ah, may be a little bias.

I just thought this was a pretty horse but it was being stubborn and wouldn't let me take a good picture of it.
The kids found this baby humming bird sitting on our wood pile. It was soooo small. That is Keenan's hand in the background.

Me and my girlfriend Wendy.

Now, this one I just LOVE!! I like the creepiness about it. LOL!!! And NO!! The kids weren't playing with fire. The were the big yard citronella candles and they were just standing beside them.

TOTAL Redneck shot!! LOL!! These guys were camping up from us. I know I did stupid things when I was young but not THAT stupid. Believe it or not they actually weren't that loud or annoying.

All Clear

WOW!! Now that it is over I gotta SPEAK!! So most of you don't know but we just went through a bit of a scare. A couple weeks ago they found a lump in one of my breasts. I KNOW!! My jaw dropped too!!

BREATH!!

After a PAINSTAKING week of waiting for my mammogram and ultra sound appointments and then ANOTHER week of TORTUOUS waiting for my results, they finally came in all clear!! WOOHOO!!

We didn't actually tell anyone about it. So don't feel like you are the last to know, your not. I knew how bad I was freaking out and how concerned (because the man NEVER shows stress) James was, we just didn't see the need in anyone else worrying until we found out real answers.

So all is good. But I tell ya after those weeks of waiting was surprised I wasn't bald. And SERIOUSLY I don't care what anyone says, those mammogram machines are NOT "nice" machines.

This is what I'ld like to see one day. LOL!!!

I hope you had a good week :)

Nissan's Mr. Glorious

My sister Angella posted this one awhile ago but I just finally remembered to google it and see for myself. The guy in white aka Mr. Glorious, is my first cousin Derek from Ontario.



He's awesome, I can't wait to see him some more stuff. Once he does I'll keep you posted.
