Acceptance feels good [Quick Post]

Today I got a call from the Canadian Forces recruitment office with a job offer for me. I am so excited about this and can’t wait until I go and serve for my country. My enrollment ceremony is on June 22nd and I leave for basic on July 10th. I am glad that it’s 4 months away because that will give me a enough time to lose some weight and I have started doing just that. I need to lose about 60-80 lbs. before then to be in the healthy range. I won’t be done basic until October 15th and after that I think I will be going to Vancouver for Navy training, but that is just a guess. Oh I should mention that I am going to be doing Naval Communicator. I will be basically working with the ships computers and maintaining communications between other ships and land base.

First Snow Fall in Canada

First Snow Fall in Canada

First Snow Fall in Canada

I was doing some hiking just north of Oshawa in a conservation area called Purple Woods when I took some amazing photos. More coming soon.

Just north of Oshawa got a little dusting of snow over night, nothing that lasted long. Got this nice macro shot of a maple leaf with some snow still on it.

Happy Birthday to a friend in Pickering :D took this photo for you.

Wounderland is Fun

My brother with his stuff

My brother with his stuff

Canada’s Wounderland is so fun that I had to wake up at 6 in the a.m. to get stuff ready before leaving at 8. It is so fun that traffic (for once) is going smooth and gets you at the park an hour and 15 minutes early. It is so fun that after 4 rides and 2 hours in the park you need to vomit, and yes I did. Me and my bro then decided to just hang out at the water park all day and get sun burns.

If you havent noticed, I am not to happy on how the day went. But I still love it so here are some pictures on my facebook. FACEBOOK PHOTOS.
