As many of you know this was the last day for the Tim Hortons in Kandahar. The boys are coming home so that means the Tim Horton's does as well :) I feel very honored to have served those who serve. I wish I was there for the closing though. I will admit I'm a bit sad. I was there for the opening of the store and put some long hard hours into it. Would have loved to have seen the last coffee served.
On the other hand though George is coming home on Thursday. Woohoo!! Very happy he got to go experience KAF as well. To see where I worked and what it was all about. I'm very proud of him.
It will not be the same there with us Canadians gone that's for sure. I am so happy I was picked to go it changed my life for the best.
So today is a mixed emotion day . Happy :) and sad :( Mostly happy though :) My man is coming home!!
Sending all my love to my friends in KAF right now. Great job guys.. much love hope to see you soon. Thanks for making George feel welcome there. You guys rock!!!

Every Breath you Take!!
I was driving home from work today in silence as I always do. Being around noise and having to be on your "A"game all day can take a toll on you. So my ride home is quiet and I take the time to calm myself. Today though it was rainy and windy and not such a nice day. For some reason I put on the radio and Every Breath you Take was playing :)
One of my father's favorite songs. I smiled as I always do when I hear this song.This was the last song that I danced with him before he died. Not a day goes by that he doesn't enter my thoughts one way or another. Today though I had time to reflect and remember some happy times and laughs we shared. I was skyping with George and he asked me what I was having for supper. I had planned on a chicken wrap with rice. Being such a cold and rainy day though I felt like something with some more comfort. After hanging up with George I realized I had made one of my father's favorite meals :) Potatoes with hamburger gravy over top. Simple and plain but my Dad loved it. I smoother it with ketchup which would drive him crazy. Your ruining your food he would say. hahaha Miss you Dad!! xoxoxoxoxox
This song is for you Dad!!

Back to reality!!
Well its has been a month since I have been home from my most amazing vacation ever with George.
I look at all the pics we took and I'm in awe of all we done and saw. Took me a few weeks to get back into the swing of things. Had the post vacation blues for a bit and as always the missing Georgie blues. It's November now though.Almost there!! I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking of his return home.
Since I have been back I have noticed that I have zero patience for people.Let me explain that a little better. Like stupid comments on FB and just people in general I see and talk to who I think complain just to complain. Wake up!! I want to shout out at the top of my lungs!! Really is your life that bad. No it's not. I wish everyone could have the opportunity to travel and see other parts of the world like I have. To see that living Canada is pretty friggin awesome!!! You don't like it here then leave.
ahhh nice to get that off my chest. I have more to rant on but I will save that for another blog cause it deserves a rant all on it's own. hmmm 2 blogs in one day...maybe....stay tuned
Just want to give a shout out to all my friends and family who have been there for me. You know who you are.I love you :) Being with someone in the military can be very trying at times and also very rewarding. I must say on average everyone is very supportive and has my back. There are the few that say well "this is what you signed up for" grrrrrrrrrrrr. I swear one of these times I'm going to go postal and just lose it on these people. Trust me I know what I signed up for and I'm damn proud I stepped up to the plate.Remembrance Day is in a few days and I'm so proud of George who was asked to be on honor guard for the ceremony in Kandahar. Looking back over the years I have been with George I remember the good times and the struggles. Moving across Canada countless times, finding a new job, new friends, new doctors. Being away from family, missing holidays the list just goes on and on. Through all of that though one thing always remains constant. The love we have for one another.To be each other's guiding light. THAT'S WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR!!
I leave you with this quote, may you think on it,hopefully you will act on it.
