The waiting begins

Well, I had my interview last Friday & I think that it went well. I guess - like anything else, it's just my interpretation of the situation.

I'm really hoping that I get this job. I would love the extra money, but I would also love doing the job on a more regular basis. According to the Chief, he said that HR would let him know by mid November. That's long to wait!

Other then that, not a whole lot going on. We had a baby shower on Saturday & it was lots of fun! We got lots of gifts and lots of blankets! I know that we need them all, but it's just funny to see how much stuff that we got... I'm such a big kid! As soon as we got home, I put the exo-saucer together & also the mobile for the crib! I'll have to take a pic of our nursery to show you...

Well, that's about it for now!

'til next time!

Can it be true?

Well, Allison wasn't feeling the baby moving as much as she had in the last couple of weeks, so she called our Dr & got an appointment.

At our appt, the Dr decided to have a profile done up to ensure that everything was ok with the baby. Well, during the profile, Allison decided that she'd ask the nurse (or whoever she was) if she had seen anything that would give us the sexe of the baby.

Well, she said that she didn't see anything yet; however, she started to look for it and found the sexe for us.

WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!!

We are really happy about it & can't wait for her to be born!!!!

Keep u posted!

Written Exam

Well, today is the first part of the written exam.

I have approx 1hr before I have to head out & write my exam. I know that I'm going to do good, but there's always that feeling in your stomach! Well, I hope that I do very well!

It's a 50 question multiple choice, so I'm guessing that within the hour, I should be done & back home.

I'll post my thoughts afterwards.


On another subject, I have been watching this new show that CBC put out called The Dragon's Den. I actually love that show. It's 5 Canadian Million/Billionaires that are willing to put up some money in order to help start-ups get, well, started up.

Well, that's all for now! Time for lunch!

My new toy

Well, I won something on the internet the other day! I'm so excited! I got it in the mail yesterday!


It's called the mStation Orb! It's freaking awesome! I can't believe how cool it is! I can honestly say that I'm having good luck! I got the Ipod for free through work & and now I won this Orb thingy! It's so kewl! The only thing that I need now is to get a job with the FD!!! Fingers still crossed!

Resume has been dropped off

Well, like the title says, my resume got dropped off & I have my times set up for my testing. They are as follows:

Written exam: Oct 12, 13h30
Knowledge exam: Oct 13, 14hrs
Physical (aka: DND Test): Oct 16, 15h30

I'm really anxious & I know that I'm going to do well, but I hope that it's well enough to get a job. I have actually respondided to medical calls & I have not been as nervous as I was in the past - which to me - is a great thing!

Also, this weekend, was the start of Fire Prevention week. It was a gorgeous day & I got to drive our heavy rescue truck in the parade.

Well, I'm outta here for now!

'til next time!
