Did that get your attention???
LOL ya right! NOT!
Well after 15 years of being together we finally made it official and got "the paper". Why? It took me 15 years to decide if he was the one or not. NO hahaha I joke about that all the time with him. It became a joke with us and our friends. It was time and we have always wanted to get married. Life got in the way and we put it off(ok I put it off) and didn't make it a priority. So the years went by as they do.
A few of you have emailed and my brother even joked and said OMG is there a bun in the oven. Really!! No LOL you guys make me smile and laugh. Now that's funny.
When were on the plane coming home for our house hunting trip in Ontario George got all serious on me. He put the ball all in my court. He said it was all on me. No more excuses lets just set a date and a time and get it done :) I would have to say that George had wanted to get married more then me over the years. He would bring it up every so often and I would make some excuse or just change the subject. I was always on the fence about it. Why ruin a good thing I would say. For George though it was that last step in our relationship and he truly wanted it to be official. Now that it is done I'm so happy. I wished we had done it sooner.
So we had to get busy and there was no better place then here in BC. So we got all our ducks in a row. Went to the marriage counselling classes. Found some willing passer bys to witness..lol No there was no hesitation in that choice. We knew it had to Mike and Lily :)
Why the secrecy?? Well George and I both have already been married before and we knew we did not want the big wedding this time around. I know it sounds selfish but we wanted it to just be about us. If we invited one person why not someone else. Then it becomes a "thing" an event.
It was perfect just the way it was. We were already married in the eyes of everyone anyways this just made it official :)
I am very proud to be a Wagner now I was very torn as to whether I was going to take his last name. Being a Bennett has always been a sense of pride for me. My roots were I came from. Then I realized I will always be a Bennett that will never change.
I am very happy to finally be George's wife :)

For Love of the Game!!
We started Geocaching in Winnipeg and feel in love with it. We have been seeking and hiding ever since then. We have met some great people and have made friends for life all because of it. You get to see places and experience mother nature that most people don't even know exist.
We moved to BC well over 4 years ago and have enjoyed caching here. We have been to some pretty amazing spots all because of it. In the last 6 to 8 months though there has been some struggles in the community. A lot of he said, she said. George and I try our best to stay out of the lime light. We do our own thing, stay low key and do not get involved with anything political when it comes to geocaching.
Every once in awhile though you can only take so much and you finally have to stand back and draw a line in the sand. Enough is enough!
We have a very small caching community here in Comox. Lately with all the drama nobody wants to hide anything more which is very sad :(
We are both very happy to get to some new terrain with some new attitudes. I'm sure there will be drama there as well. There always seems to be one or two bad apples in the bunch. I just felt like ranting and getting it off my chest. There I feel much better now :)

I can see a light I think it's there somewhere!
Wow 3 months to the day since I have last been on here. Yikes!! Well to tell you the truth I got myself into a little funk not a bad one but a funk to say the least. Still climbing out of it but I can see the light now :)
We recently got voted off our little Island of paradise. Told to pack it up and move to Ontario. This news sent me into my funk :( I don't want to leave and you can't make me. LOL Well when the military says it time, it's time. We head out in late July. Reality has sent in and I'm dealing with it much easier now. I know deep down farther down the road we will be back....and to STAY!!! Yipppeeee
We bought our first home in Ontario and we are looking forward to making it ours. It will be sooooo nice to get out of the PMQ's I can't even begin to tell you. So ya for that.
I'm no stranger to change and can adapt at the drop of a hat.So why am I having such a hard time. Well it's easy. I'm OLD hahaha. I don't want to move around anymore time to put some roots in. All in due time. I love George with all my heart and will follow him where ever he goes. Love makes you do crazy things.
We have made some amazing friends here and it's going to be so hard to say goodbye :( well now that I think about it I'm not going to say goodbye I'm going to say see you soon :) ya that works. It's going to be hard to top the scenery and the wildlife here. Sorry Ontario you can't win in that department. Each province has it's own beauty and I'm sure we will find it there. I'm going to have to start to gather some things here to remind me of this beautiful province they call the BEST PLACE ON EARTH.
Some sand, some ocean water,part of a tree:) can't take an Eagle with me or the deer or a bear which are some of the best things or our friends :(
I am looking forward to our new home though seeing our many friends and family in Ontario.There are alot of positive's to moving back to Ontario.Being closer to NS is a huge plus.
I will make sure to stop in and keep more of an update not every 3 months :)
Now time to get off the computer and go enjoy BC :)
