Journal Finale: Finally...My How Time Flies
Monday, November 20, 2006
It’s been almost two months and a half since my ‘migration’. I know I’ve been negligent in not completing this journal sooner but it’s been a busy busy month. Let me tell you, moving to the States is quite the experience. But, all in all, it’s been worth it. The “Yanks” are fun and I can’t complain about my choice to leave.
Alan and I are having a great time learning what it’s like to truly live with one another. Believe it or not, we haven’t had any big arguments. There have been tense moments, usually me freaking out about something small that just ticks off that last nerve, but he’s always ready with a hug, and a kind word to get me through.
I’ve taken up the great game of pool. I’ve won twice now, out of 6 sessions. I even beat Alan once, which may not mean much to you, but to the folks we know here, it’s a big deal. At least they pretend it’s a big deal for my sensitive ego!
Driving is awesome. The minimum speed limit on the freeways is about 120/130 km/hr at any given time, and Eddie is lovin’ it! My coworkers, are pretty decent, though their sense of humor just isn’t up to the Canadian standards. However, they got a kick out of my Halloween costume. We went as the McKenzie Brothers:
There are plenty of mundane details to share but by this point you’re just wondering if this is ever Going to end. So, at 23 pages (if you were reading this in PDF format, of course), plus or minus, I bid my adieu. Thanks for reading! I hope it was at least mildly entertaining. We had a great trip down, and have so many fond memories of the folks we said good bye to at the party on my last Saturday night in town. Thanks to everyone who showed up and most of all to Kathy and Pam for setting up such a good time! You are awesome!!!
Love you all so much. Don’t be a stranger. Come visit. We bake now. So we’ll even feed you something other than restaurant food! Pam H., I’m still holding you to your promise to visit in 2008!
