I'm Still Alive

Sorry for the severe lack of activity, I've been a busy boy.

School work has kept me very busy and I've been working a lot of hours (what else is new, right?) but the biggest thing that kept me from blogging was my move - yay!

I was down looking for a house, just got back after 2 weeks away.  What a stressful process but all's well that hopefully ends well.  We found a nice house, affordable, with enough room for us and the kids.  It even has a partial basement (remainder is crawlspace on rock) - I've really missed having one.  Enough room for storage, room for training, and a workshop area.

I love the city, we're right on the ocean - fresh seafood every day  :)

The one downside of the house is that it has no backyard and very little yard in front.  I was hoping to put up a large greenhouse and garden and maybe even attempt to raise some goats and/or chickens.  A small (very small) vegetable garden/greenhouse will be possible but that's it.

I'll have to investigate starting a community greenhouse or something in my copious free time (lol), I don't think they have anything already.

I'm moving at the beginning of January, I'll try to catch up on my blogging but things are still looking a bit crazy, there may be minimal entries until my training is complete, sometime in February.

I'm so excited!  I'll be 12 years and 5 months in the Arctic - long enough, it's time to start a new chapter in our lives.
