Welcome to my Blog

I created this space to post my thoughts and photos. It began in 2012 with my travels to New Zealand, Tasmania and living and studying in Australia then continued back to Canada with my return home to Edmonton and moving to Victoria, British Columbia. Join me on the journey. Post a comment!

Finally!

Thanks for the concerned e-mails from those of you who read my last blog and were worried about me. The root of my negativity was my accomodation not the job or Victoria. I'm really enjoying my position and the people I work with and my new city. I was just tired of moving around and not having somewhere to call home. In two months I had lived in 4 places, not including hotels and a hut (while I was hiking). I was also missing my husband and family in Edmonton.
But now we have finally moved into our home. Keith just left after 5 days of unpacking and organizing furniture and boxes. The truck arrived with our stuff from Edmonton on Friday. Going from 2400 to just over 800 square feet meant that not all of our furniture fit, much of it is in storage, but the essentials are here.
Overwhelmed by paper

Boxes, boxes and more boxes

We're renting a main floor apartment condo for the year while we suss out Victoria and Keith looks for a job.  Having a nice space with our own things and personal touches makes a world of difference. 
I'm finally starting to feel relaxed.

Really enjoyed reading your blog. The word that comes to mind after reflecting on your notes is "resiliency". You definitely have it!
Peter and I are just returning to Edmonton from a couple days in your beautiful city. We rode in the Tour of Victoria. Yes , 6 hours in the wind and rain! What doesn't kill you ....anyway, it is a beautiful course and probably scenic if we could have seen anything. You know that I love a challenge. I wish I would have remembered that you had moved there. For some reason I thought it was Kamloops. Next time I will phone and plan a visit around your schedule.
