life back in edmonton

For a long time i thought no one was reading these things, meh who knew!lol!
well life since ive been back from overseas has been crazy.
I got back in Oct and starting Jan i was on course. First it was my LAV 3, then I was on my PLQ which is a leadership course,then my ARCC.
I was burned out even more than i realized! by the time i got to my ARCC i just didnt care anymore, and it showed.
Ive been playing it mellow since ive been back, analizing my friendships and my next move in life. It feels like ive finished a chapter in life and its time to move on to the next one. Its been very frusterating trying to figure out what it is! Ive only wanted to be in the military my whole life, what if it isnt for me anymore, should i just change trades or get out all together!? I dont know right now.
Ive had my baby girl in my life, Caidence! Yes she is my dog who i care very much about.
If it wasnt for her, id be running off to they skyhawks, the military skydive team.
Im still working towards getting courses and freefall time. Only cause i absolutely love it, its better than sex!lol!
I am still renovating and probably spending my christmas doing renos! Im looking forward to getting it done thats for sure! I havent had much for leave yet, so i cant wait to just chill out and work on my place.
I have slowly been doing what i wanted with my eating area, ive made it a bit of a gym. i have a treadmill and hopefully soon i will have more stuff so i can work at home! Ive been training Caidence on the treadmill, so far so good!lol
Ive been on the road to becoming a girl!lol had my first pedicure,manicure and waxing my eye brows this year (all at different times too), lol its been a slow road, but its been bound to happen!lmao!
Naw, ive just been concentrating on trying to be the person i want to be. To actually do stuff for myself! I look after myself now. lol i used to say, creams and lotions are for girly girls, vitamins are for old people!lol wow was i wrong.
now my bathroom looks like a girls bathroom, imagine that! im proud of my tastes on how i decorated my home. and im looking forward to seeing this place when its done!!!
yeah and as soon as its done, ill be selling it though.
Im very very excited about the idea of owning a house outside of town, a cozy bungalow for me and caidence and maybe my next victim....... i mean boyfriend.lol
Im afraid to buy anything else in edm, it seems like ive put my time in and im done with this life!
Ive got a new adventure coming to me. I thought i was a lifer! maybe it is the skyhawks, or maybe firefighting with the military! Whatever it is, i want my next move to give me flexibility to explore what life has to offer. Ive even thought about going into realistate!hmmmm who will see where life takes me!
For now, im working during the olympics. Our regiment is assisting the RCMP with security. It should be interesting, but im looking forward to going to BC!!!
I miss it so much! The mountains, the nature! Alberta just started recycling milk jugs!!! WTF?! lol

anyways thats just a quick recap of my year, its been pretty basic, course, more course and chilling out and enjoying as much of my home as i can!lol

lol for you Lauren!
