Home alone

Well, once again I am home alone.

Dropped Jayce off at the military bus this morning far too early (5:45am is not a time of the day that I enjoy). He's on his way to the north pole once more. It's only 2 weeks this time so I guess I'll survive.

I've got all sorts of stuff to do while he is away, maybe I'll paint the kitchen bright red! or maybe bubblegum pink. hmmmm, taping around all those cupboards actually doesn't sound that appealing so I think I'll find something else to do.

Now that the weather seems to be turning I guess Mason and I will be spending a bit more time outside. I have to go somewhere with him to show off his hot new outfit. There are varying opinions on Mason's cool new duds. The neighbourhood kids say he looks like Rocky Balboa!!!! I think he looks super cool, a dog of leisure... Jayce says he looks like a nerd

It's a boy!

Yesterday we became parents! This is our new baby boy Mason. He is a Rat Terrier and just the cutest puppy ever. I think I'm inlove already.

So nervous for no reason at all. The weeks leading up to our trip, I was frought with anxiety. This is not a natural feeling for me, but with so many unknowns and a different language as well, I didn't know what to expect when I got to Montreal and the home of my soon to be in-laws (it sounds so much nicer in french: belle-mere and belle-pere, I am their belle-fille)

We had a great time with Michelle and Charlie (Jayce's parents) and I got to meet many more aunts and uncles and cousins too. Although Christmas there was not at all what I was used to everybody made me feel welcome trying to speak as much english as possible to keep me feeling included. I'm really going to have to work on my french, I didn't understand nearly as much as I thought I would.

We had a great time shopping in around Montreal. So many shops to see and so little time :D Ohhh, the shoes! It's a good thing we don't live in a city or we'd definitely be broke and we'd need a bigger house to keep all our shoes and Jayce's jeans.
