"going to moose Jaw"

Anybody remember that Fountain Tire commercial where he's on the plane between 2 businessmen, thinking he's heading to hawaii or Vancouver, and finds out he's going to Winnipeg instead. Well for the last week, I keep saying in my head "Goin' to Moose Jaw". Maybe this is only funny to Kent, but thought I'd share anyway.

Actually we're quite excited about it! We actually volunteered! Every military person I tell, gives me this look like "poor you", and I have to tell them.. no really, we wanted it! I think Moose Jaw is a hidden gem in the CF world. Haven't gotten there yet, but how can you complain about lower housing costs, no shift work, prairie sunsets, smaller city, close to major city for shopping, friendly, great city parks and water parks, and rec facilities, and watching the snowbirds train!!! I can't wait. Of course, we're a little nervous about the timing with Kent getting home from tour (YAY.. we're in the last month!!!) But once we're settled (which we wanted to be done before Christmas), we're quite sure this will be a great posting for our family. We are really needing some time to just have as a family. Evenings and weekends together, and hopefully no more tours for a while! We're really going to miss all of the wonderful friends we've made here, but at least we're within driving distance, and we'll definately be coming back to visit family!

So, I apologize for not updating in a really long time, but we were camping for a week in Jasper with the Howell clan (great time by the way), and then since coming home, I've been on MLS, and various Moose Jaw websites learning whatever I can about our future home.

As for the next few weeks, I plan on getting as much cleaning and decluttering done as I can so that it won't take long for us to list the house once Kent gets home.. and then we begin the roller coaster. But that's our life isn't it?

I'll put up a few pics from camping, the Heritage Festival (my favorite) from this weekend, and a couple videos.. haven't decided yet.

Grandma and Grandpa's Trailer was a perfect spot to take a nightly bath!!

It's hard to hear it, but Jacob is doing is scream giggle because he's so happy to see the dogs.
