Welcome Home

My step-son, Stuart and his wife, Heajin have arrived from Korea.  Stu has been living there for about seven years and that is where he met Heajin.  He decided a few months ago that is time to re-patriot to Canada.  He is looking to settle down, start a career and raise his future family here.  I am sure it will be difficult for Heajin to leave behind her family and friends but we will all do our best to make her feel at home in her new country.

Preparations have been in the works for the past couple of months for their arrival.  Jennifer drove to Detroit to pick them up at the airport on Tues afternoon.  They brought with them two labs and two cats.  The cats are being taken care of by a friend in Mississauga - that was their first stop.  The dogs got dropped off in Shomberg.  By the time they arrived here it was early in the morning on Wed.  They are still working their way through the jet lag and the time difference of about 12 hours between here and Korea.  Our day is still their night and it will take a while for the internal time clock to readjust.

There is no moss growing under Stu's feet that is for sure.  He has already found a place to live where they can keep all their animals.  They can move in on November 1st.  Stu has been on a job interview already and starts training next week.  This sales job will keep him going until he is able to achieve his ultimate goal of becoming a police officer.

In the meantime he is busy doing the Canadian things that he didn't get to do while he lived abroad....like cut the grass.
It is great to have them home and look forward to spending quality time with them while they are living with us.  Lots of time to catch up on.

Welcome home Stu and Heajin.  So happy to have you with us.
