At 45, I can finally afford to buy my own place, and it's a pretty nice place actually

Being married 33 years as of today makes me pretty happy.

My little pal started kindergarten today. He's so excited and I'm excited for him. I found one of those first/last day of school chalkboards, where they can write their name, which year of school its their first/last day of, the date of the first/last day of school, their height, age, what they want to be when they grow up, and what their current favorite things are. Just got texted the picture.
When he grows up, he wants to be cool. His favorite things to date, in order, are his family, cars, and minecraft. He doesn't have school tomorrow and my son & daughter in law both work tomorrow, so he's coming over tonight for a sleepover. Tomorrow, we're taking g him to Drumheller to the dinosaur museum and then out camping with us until Sunday. It's going to be a great weekend.
You know, we've had some sad and some scary moments of late, but it's still such a wonderful/good life, simple as it may be, and even in the middle of all that, it's all these kinds of moments that keep me/us reminded of that. Balance, I guess. It's definitely a happy day.

I’ll piggy back on Minnie’s post too…first day of kindergarten for our oldest today. She has been so excited for school for pretty much the past year, so it was a very special day for her. Sounds like she had a great day and is looking forward to Tuesday when she goes back again.
Also had laser eye surgery earlier this month and I am living life gloriously glasses free. I am a giant wuss when it comes to eye drops, but the procedure wasn’t too bad and recovery was only crappy for the first three days.

We finally have an accepted offer for a house in Sydney, it wasn't an easy negotiation but we got a fair price and a really nice part of town. And it's only a short walk to our in-laws house

Did you make sure it was Sydney NS and not Sydney BC?
Classic mistake!

And only because Greyhound didnt ship international.

Sometimes it’s the small things. My Autistic grandson started back to school today, SK, and I was low key worried all day. It’s a big change in routine, that can be challenging for him. My son texted me the note the teachers wrote in his daily update for today- “Odin adapted to being back to school beautifully , we missed him so much”.
What a relief that was.

i needed to add a few guys to my men's hockey team roster for this season. one of the things the league does is post a 'free agent' list - so people put their contact info down along with what position they play and what division they'd like to play in... so after reaching out to a few guys i was able to fill my roster.
tonight was our second game of the season and i had a chance to chat with a couple of the news guys before the game and it turns out they are big flames fans - so that's just awesome and makes me really happy!
they reeeeally like our dark jerseys...

Big week for my son and it makes me super happy watching him tick off his goals for this year.
Made the U18 AAA Major hockey team as a first year player and was named to Team New Brunswick U16 Team got the news on both in the last 24hrs.
It's his QMJHL draft year and he has been working his ass off towards it. These are just the first steps but pretty big ones.
I can't wait to watch him this year

Start of new Beer League season.
Playing hockey with my daughter really makes me happy, even if she chirps me.

Nephew #1 got engaged over the weekend. Nephew #2 is recovering, slowly. Both things make me happy.
