And maybe braid your hair for good luck, too!
Chris and I went to Edmonton on tuesday for his final appointment that was needed so that the chief medical guy at CN would be satisfied that his tourette's is not an issue (in relation to the job!)
The two appointments that he had to go to went spectacularily well, and Chris's dad found out he was apparently their first pick after the exams (logic) and interviews. No wonder they are spending money on fancy schmancy doctors to prove he's okay!
Well, he's more than okay, he's great!
We should hear within a week from CN, and Chris would be training in Edmonton for 5 weeks starting the end of March... meaning Blaine will be in an Empty house, but whatev. I have Marley.
The only potential issue we've been dealing with, is that he'd be working out of Edson, and so he'd have to drive an hour each way before and after his ~14 ish hour trips (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. And that's one way, with a rest period in between.).
And since I worry enough as it is, and that particular stretch of HWY 16 has taken more than it's fair share of lives and vehicles during the winter months, it looks like we'll be moving to Edson before the fall. Hopefully before September 1st, because we'll be busy then...
I just heard that C+G set a date of September 1st! Whoop whoop whoop! Cool!
But I have to go now, Chris is outside, he has been working on getting his powered remote controlled truck running, and it sounds like he did! And he wants me to go see.

Of course you can come visit during his training! Yeah, we'll probably take turns visiting each other on weekends, that way I can see Jarrod and Willy too!
Marley's doing great, her teeth cleaning appt is this tuesday (13) and she is definitely settled now. She's getting braver in the yard, and trying to explore... She's also defending our yard from cats that use it as a path and dogs that come-a-sniffin'...
She now pretty much growls at anyone who comes near us (in the house) and whimpers if she sees other dogs on walks. Still haven't completely figured out why she's whimpering, either she wants to go see them, or she's afraid of them.
Hope the Calgary visit is great!
Oh, we haven't heard from them that he WILL be training yet. It's just more than likely that he will be getting the call soon.
:D
And?!
I've been checking for news!
