There is a light...

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter!!!
Not too bright though!!!!
As of right now, I have a count down started until my dear husband is home.. it is later then he or I had thought it would be. Once he returns he has requested that he have some alone time and will not be telling anyone when exactly he is home and so please don't look to here for that info.
Greg would like sometime to decompress and relax... He said his return will be a lot different then his HLTA as he was still in battle mind just on vacation and now it is a matter of truly relaxing and 'standing down'. Please do not take anything personally!
Greg will have off approx. eight weeks so we will make out way around to see everyone and re-connect with everyone.

In other news.. I am working hard to fundraiser for Relay for Life; we are holding a garage sale on May 3rd in Ajax and would love for you to come by and support us! Even if you don't need anything.. a small donation would mean so much to us. Beside the traditional garage sale items we will a table set up to buy and decorate luminaries! I think there is also plans to sell some homemade baked goods! Please come by and visit us; it will be at 8am-2pm at 1 Forest Rd. in Ajax!
As well as the garage sale we will be holding a fundraiser night.. door prizes, 50/50 draw, poker... all proceeds will be going to Cancer Society's RELAY FOR LIFE... please join us on May 23rd at 8pm in Oshawa at the McLaughlin Armouries!

That is all for now folks!

Ahoy!

Well it has been quite a while since I wrote....
Where to start... Well Greg had a great time home... or that is what he says atleast. We enjoyed a relaxing and fun filled 19 days. We spent a few days at home and then went off to Punta Cana, DR; once we returned we visited some people but mostly spent time relaxing and having fun doing nothing!
This is on one of our last days in Dominican, we had our pictures taken with the parrots.
Once Greg returned to the 'sandbox' I started to get myself reintergrated into working again... it was so nice to have 3 full weeks off to lounge around and do nothing. {what a life eh?}
Greg was faced with quite a number of "hiccups" upon his return back and was very upset and angry over the retartedness of his job. He is feeling better now and as everyone he has been working with for the past 5.5 months is finishing up, he is getting more and more excited for it to be his turn. As of right now as far as either of us know he will be returning to Canada mid to late May...
About a week ago his replacment arrived to begin the hand over, and even though it was a lot sooner then Greg had anticipated he is happy to be able to have a long period of time to do his hand over and then ease himself out of the 'sandbox'.
In other news Greg loved the bedroom renovations and was overjoyed that it had such a relaxing feel to the room. unfortunately I have not figured out how to post an album of pictures and when I do I will post the pictures of the bedroom!
Let's see Spring is here and with spring comes summer and nice weather! Nice weather equal wedding season... or atleast that is what I am calling this summer... as Greg and I have the most amount of weddings I or anyone in my family has ever attended in a 6 month period!!!
So whatever money Greg and I saved this summer is not going to really show after this summer is done and all the weddings! LOL
With the nice weather comes Greg's return and as of right now we don't have any plans to have a party or social event but if something comes up I will post it for you all.
I will try to most more pictures as I have tons from the month of Feb. - Apr.!
