It has been forever

Well it has been a long time since I posted so today seems the perfect day. It is a rainy day here in Petawawa. Doing laundry (seems fitting for such an inside day). Last night I went for my orientation at the PMFRC. It was good... there was just 3 of us but I am excited to start my volunteering. Something to get me out of the house and working with my community.

Hubby can home yesterday and he got DAG'D (for you non military people this means that he got all his tan uniforms, boots and stuff he needs for his tour). Seeing those tan boxes with all the tan uniforms makes it all so real. But I was really proud of myself. Hubby went through and showed me what he got and I didn't cry YEA lol. I did feel a but overwhelmed and flooded with emotion but I carried on with getting supper ready. It is so hard to believe the end of November is nearing and soon Christmas will be upon us.

Speaking of Christmas... Who is ready??? I have to get a few more things for family and send them by the end of next week (just to insure they all get their presents). Still have to get a few more thing for my husband. We decided to stay here in Petawawa this Christmas. My family would love to have us home but hubby wants to stay here. He is going to be away for training after Christmas for a few months so he wants us to spend the time together... Awwwww he loves me I know. I have so much to be thankful for this Christmas. Matt wants me to wait until he is on his Christmas leave to put up the decorations. He wants us to do it together. I am looking forward to that. I think we are going to try our hand at making truffles should be interesting hahaha.

I have met to awesome new people here in this small town and I must say it is so nice having people stop in to have some coffee and talk. I am also thankful for them!!!

Well not much new but I always have something to say hahahaha... So that's it for now. Talk to you soon :)

So Blessed!!

I went to the PMFRC today to pick up my criminal record check so I can start volunteering. I am so excited about this. Something to get me out of the house and become a real part of my community. I have an orientation meeting on the evening of the 24th. Once the Military police get my record check back I can start volunteering right away. I think I am going to be working with the deployment center. This makes me really happy as my hubby will be deploying early 2010. Something to look forward to and get out of the house and meet new people. Just what the doctor had in order.

I was talking to my Mom today and she got my package. It contained birthday presents for my Mom and my niece Breanna. It also contained a little something for my oldest niece Savanah. They opened their gifts while I was on the phone. I love hearing my little girls (not so little anymore 7 and 10) scream with excitement. I guess their gifts was a big hit. I also sent a little package for my handsome nephew Evan and he got his package on Friday. He was so excited to get his hockey cards. I think I have to be the most blessed Aunt in the whole entire world. I think God every day for making me these kids Aunt. There is nothing like having a bad day and calling my nieces or nephew to cheer me up. All it takes is hearing their voice and the whole world is a better place. It is hard being away from them. I remember thinking OMG they are so going to forget about me. I could be up here for 5 years and miss so much of their lives. I might not be there in person but they know I am only a phone call away. I feel so good knowing that these kids know they can call me and tell me anything. See I am blessed. I not only have the best nieces and nephew but I also have the best of the following:

Mother
Sisters
Friends
And of course Husband!!!!

I love all these people more then they could ever know. When someone moved away life goes on but it is good to know that the people that matter most do not forget about you.

Snow snow... Puts me in the Christmas mood :)

So here is how my day started... Ring Ring Hello... Sweetie look out the window its snowing Gotta go Love you. This was at 730 this morning. I was so happy to hear from my wonderful husband. Looking outside at the snow made me want to sing a Christmas tune.

I got up to get ready for my day. I went to pick up my husband's pants from the seamstress and headed out to Walmart. For Christmas this year my sisters and I and our husbands decided to draw names. I got my brother in law Peter and Matt got my sister Julie. I decided that I was going to make my brother in law a scrapbook of our trip this summer when they came up to visit and we went to see the falls and Marineland. I came back home and got right into it. I have never made a scrapbook before and I am NO Martha lol. But I have done 4 pages and I must say I am pretty impressed. I think I have found myself a new hobby. So now I have 2 presents down and a lot more to go LOL... no I have 3 presents down cuz I have my hubby done but I cant post on here just in case he is snooping :) Love you HUBBY!!!

I have no title :)

It is so hard to believe that Halloween is over and it is the 2nd of November. Halloween was fun we got way too much candy and not enough kids to hand it out to. I think we only had around 40 or 45. I told Matt that he has to take the rest with him to work cuz I dont want to end up eating the rest of it. I was cleaning this afternoon and there it was in the computer room. He must of forgotten it this morning. When he comes home again I will totally be sending it with him that is if I havent eaten it all :)

Matt told me Friday night that he wont be home next weekend... That makes me sad. But I guess I just have to get use to it. Petawawa really isnt that bad. I really dont mind it here I just wish I had more friends. We went to a friends house Halloween night to play some Wii and I met a new girl. She moved to Pet in June too and she was asking me how I liked it here. I told her that I didnt mind it that I just wished that I knew more people. She said that she felt the same way. We laughed and said meeting new friends is like dating. It is so funny cuz it is totally true.

Today I got Mom and Breanna's birthday presents all wrapped and ready to mail. As I was wrapping them I was crying my eyes out becasue this is the first birthday I will miss. Mom was lucky enough to have her grandaughter born on her birthday. I remember the day my precious neice was born, the joy we all felt. It is so amazing looking into the face of a newborn. I looked at her and cried. Mom was so proud and what a birthday present.

Another note 53 days until Christmas.......
