This is it. The first blog I have ever done. Why start now? Only because we are moving and I wanted a way for all of my family and friends to be able to keep up with us and all that is going in the great place of Calgary, Alberta, located in the country of Canada. Here I will post pics and blog about all our experiences in Canada. If you read our blog you will get the good, the bad and the ugly.
We have not yet moved to Calgary. I guess you can say we sit here in Dutchtown in waiting. The move has been confirmed by papers being signed and a job title being changed, but we have to wait on the most important peice of paper. A Canadian Work Visa. We cannot make the move until we have that and we are not even sure how long that will take.
That sounds kind of wierd. Waiting on a work visa to move to another country. We never thought we would need one of those. I have to say it is pretty exciting. We have lived here in the south all of our lives. Moving around a few times, but never more than 3 1/2 hours away from Baton Rouge. No to mention a hole different country. It is only 2,439 miles away. Google maps say you can travel it in 1 day and 18 hours, with traffic. It did not metion sleeping or stopping for food or potty breaks. I guess you'll just have to hold it.
I think the main thing we will have to get used to, besides leaving family and friends, is the cold weather. Here we are in January wearing shorts. That will not be the case in Canada. We are looking at 73 F versus 19 F. Living just outside of the mountains will help some. And the snow! We are looking forward to the snow. It may get old after a while, and it may not. I will worry about that later. For now, I will look forward to seeing my kids, with all of their excitement, play in it. Something we would never get to do here.
That's it for now. I will try to keep this updated with all that is going on in our move. I hope I can do a good enough job. This is very new to me. I am not used to writing a lot. I can talk alot of words, but typing them is much different. Please, much grace is needed.
To all of my family and friends, I love you all and I look forward to hearing your comments and what is going on here once we are up there.
