happy hauling

We made it safe and sound in Calgary with all of our stuff intact and hardly any problems with our uHaul truck. Poor Marcus got stuck driving the 24' truck all the way to Calgary while I followed behind in our car with little miss Chloe (the cat).

We've been spending the first two weeks in Calgary unpacking some things, making room to store the rest, hauling furniture and boxes to the basement, cleaning, and sorting through all the hassles of changing provinces. Believe me, there are a lot of hassles... it's basically like moving to a new country, but we just don't have to worry about our citizenship. Not much time so far to see friends and family, although we did pop up to Clive for a day to celebrate Marcus' father's 80th birthday. We also got out to Blake's cabin this past weekend, where we experienced our first snow fall of the season!

As for the matter of a job... I received a phone call the last week we were in New Westminster, and Veer offered me an in-house position on salary with all their snazzy benefits. I have since then accepted the position, so I guess I get to keep on keywording and tackling some other projects too. My first day of work is September 15th. I'm giddy like I'm headed back to school or something. Anyway, it should be a fun job.

That's all to report for now. Hope you're all doing well, and I look forward to seeing some of you over the next few weeks, as we finish off all the moving tasks. Cheers!
