Taking a look....

At the last few weeks:

We will start with my convocation. I would like to say my final but when you are someone who loves to continue learning, upgrading, and never just satisfied in one career direction, final is too much of a permanent word. I do have to say that this is one of my most proud graduations since is was the most challenging. Yes I say this even after receiving my law degree, but I started this educational journey when Loralai was just 11 weeks old. It was hard but I persevered, I even volunteered, and I came out not only with a sense of accomplishment but a job I love, and on the deans list!!

We decided to leave Loralai with my cousin for the evening since a 2.5 hour long ceremony does not always agree with a very busy 16 month old!!

The next highlight was Remembrance Day:


It is always so important to remember our history and the reason why we all enjoy our freedom today, and this is why we pay special thanks to the ones who have fallen. But throughout this day I also remembered those family members who suffered the loss of their loved ones for us, and I also take time to remember those who have fought and lost their lives even during our current war.

I have the very special privilege to support our military members on an everyday basis because I work on at CFB Borden. So on Remembrance Day I invited my parents to come along with Loralai and I to the ceremony that was taking place on Base that day. Loralai was very busy and I did send most of the ceremony chasing her around, but it was still amazing to see everyone come together. They set off two canons but Loralai did not even flinch, she looked up as to say what was that and then continued on her merry way. Above is just pictures of the ceremony on the parade square, and of course Loralai running around in the leaves.
