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

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.
