Depending on how quickly Joe marks his exams we hope to be leaving for home on Thursday. I can't believe how quickly the last month has gone. I came across this song last weekend and now I listen to it all the time. It's called Driving home for Christmas.

Im driving home for christmas
Oh, I cant wait to see those faces
Im driving home for christmas, yea
Well Im moving down that line
And its been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas

Its gonna take some time
But Ill get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon therell be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you
Though you cant hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
I am driving home for christmas
Driving home for christmas
With a thousand memories

I take look at the driver next to me
Hes just the same
Just the same

Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
Im driving home for christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you cant hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas
Driving home for christmas
With a thousand memories

We finally bought a car and we picked it up today. Here is our new toy, a blueberry Nissan Versa hatchback. We love her already.

It's not much but it's a start ;)

I blame Facebook. I never update this anymore because I keep up to date with everyone though Facebook. I know there are still people out there not on "the book" including my husband so I will try and update more often.

Well since my last post I got a job. I am employed at the same place as Joe. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology. We are both really busy but love our jobs.

We are thinking about buying a car. We got away without owning one in both Kingston and Halifax because everything we needed was close or as was the case in Kingston, never had far to go. Oshawa however is really spread out and things we want to get too are far away. So... we are starting to look for a car. Something small, cute and reliable. We are in the very early stages so if anyone has any recommendations please drop me a note.

We are looking forward to going home at Christmas. Joe got the exam schedule, it sucks but come hell or high water I am getting home for Christmas.

Okay I think that is it. Have a good weekend everyone.

So I really need to update my blog more often. If anyone out there reading this doesn't know, Joe got a job at UOIT in Oshawa, Ontario and we moved there today. We left Hammonds Plains yesterday in the rain and arrived in Oshawa this evening at 5:30. We are both tired and glad to be out of the truck.

We move into our apartment tomorrow and are excited to get in and get settled. We don't get internet hook up until Saturday!!! so we will be without for awhile.

The only picture I got of Oshawa so far is below. Enjoy.

Is Jeopardy getting easier or am I getting smarter?

Joe and I watch Jeopardy almost every night. The last week or so the questions have been way too easy. I can usually get quite a few in the first round and a few in the next depending on the categories. Well the last few days Joe and I have been getting almost all of the first round and then most of the next. What's up Jeopardy??? you are supposed to make me feel stupid ;)
