What's next?

What a day... Angele & I went for our ride-along in St-John on July 16th & It was fun! It was too quiet, but it was fun! I can't wait to go down there again for another ride-along... I hope that next time it's going to be busier. On my ride-along, we did get 9 calls done, but the downside was that we only got 3 911's and the rest where transfers. I know that it's part of the job, but still, if I want to try to figure what I want to do, paramedic & firefighting, then I want to see more....

Anyways, other then that, everything is going pretty good! Work is really busy and looks like there's going to be tons of overtime for a while... Which is good because we are actually in the process of buying windows for our house. I can't wait! It's going to be great to be able to open all of the windows in the house - right now, there are a few of them that are sealed shut... really sux in the summer time!

Olivia, Allison and I are heading to Halifax on the weekend for a CBC Kids show. It's going to be awesome I can't wait! Olivia is so interactive right now and growing so fast it's almost hard to keep up! Olivia is no longer sleeping in a crib anymore. She's been sleeping in a double bed that we had set on the ground when she was sick and on top of that, she no longer has a soother. Allison had told her that she only had 4 soothers left (cause she was just breaking them apart) and in 2 days, she went through 3 of them. So Allison gave her the last one and basically told her that when she eats to breaks through this one, that's it - no more soothers. So what does Olivia do? She takes the soother and puts it in the trash... She went to bed without it & has since... She's truly remarkable in how quick she learns things! The best of all, she now says "I love you!"

Talk about melting your heart!

'til next time!

Going on a Road Trip!!!

Can't wait for July 16th. I'm heading to St John for a ride along with the medics from St John. I'm really excited about it too! I'm going to be heading down for a full shift - around 12hrs gonna work with either the 0700 crew or 0730 crew.

Tonight, I'm working my last shift for a couple of days. I've picked up a short shift and an extra 12hr shift! It's really crazy the amount of OT that there's available. Oh well! I'm not complaining... Soon enough there may not be enough hrs left.

I'm glad that I'm only working tonight & not tomorrow night too! Allison has weekend off now & this will allow us to go out and enjoy the summer days especially with Olivia. We are planning on heading to the Bouctouche Dunes tomorrow. It's gonna be lots of fun. It'll be the 2nd time Olivia get her feet full of sand!

Olivia is growing up really fast & she is completely hooked on Monsters Inc right now. She wants to watch it over & over & over.... She just can't get enough! Allison tried to get her to watch The Increadibles and she seemed to like it... but who knows!

Well, don't have too much to say tonight or should I say this morning... I'll save some for later!

'till next time!
