Snow

Oh my gosh it is snowing!!! I'm at work and it just started! I have never seen it snow before. I have seen ice and a glacier and been on the snow but never seen it fall from the sky! Its great. Except that i would feel like an idiot, i would do a little dance but the people around here are over the snow and think my excitement is a little over the top!

I don't have my camera with me but if there is snow tomorrow i will take a photo for you all.

So now i am back to working but i will fill you in more really soon.

some photos

How crazy is this... a dead deer maybe eaten by a bear... for some reason i found this interesting.

The Hoodoo's with Sal

The lakeside pub

My Cafe

The locals call this the beach

Just thought i would show you a few photos of this place!

My first week

So i have come to the end of my first week here in Canada and i survived but not without a great amount of support, help and love from some people.
I know i have said it before and will probably say it again but Sal is so lovely and helps me with what i need. She is a amazing woman! The girls at work are so kind and accepting of me and i think it will be a lot of fun.
This place is beautiful and i think a lot of healing will be done here. God is so good, everything has come together and people have been so generous!
I think i have even found a place to live and i have a car and a job so everything is working out.
Today is so cold and i made the mistake of wearing sandals to go for a walk.. I'm not sure what i was thinking! Two locals even made a little comment about my toes.. i obviously still have a lot to learn. It hasn't snowed yet! i was hoping it would but then a little worried about driving in it!
Anyway I'm off to the Laundromat and then to work. I really miss home and all of you guys. I hope you are well..
Love you all. xxx

the blue pimp

I have bought the best car in the world. Its blue, it bounces, and its a smoooooth ride. It is the coolest car i have ever owned... i have attached some photos for you guys to look at... I have so far worked two shifts at my new work. It is pretty cool. The staff are really nice and very welcoming. I think i will love it. It will just take some getting used to. It is alot quieter than Gloria Jeans but about the same as Pages.
I have only just been here a week and i have a great car, great job and hopefully in not to long a place to live on my own. I do love living with Sal and Aaron but i would like to experience being on my own.. I cant even imagine how crazy it must have been for Sal being here on her own cause it is really tough for me and i have a friend that knows the ropes but anyway i'm enjoying it so far... i do miss everyone from home a stack.
I did however find some hot cross buns which was a nice supprise however i forgot it was easter this weekend... everything has been happening. anyway happy easter everyone!! i will update you soon. xxx
Ps Thanks Lexi for remembering that i love bertie beattle show bags... they are my fav!!

Deer

This country is crazy:
1/ I woke up and there were deer in our backyard!!
2/ The cheese is orange
3/ There is skim, 2%, 4% and whole milk... who knows which is which
4/ People go to work everyday and look at all day perhaps the most beautiful view i have ever seen!
5/ entrees are appetisers, mains are entrees and i hope dessert is dessert!
and finally they sell mostly Australian wines.. i did buy a BC wine just because i wanted to taste what they produce...

All in all though i am having a good time and looking forward to my first day at work tomorrow! Sal and Aaron have been great, patient, kind and generous!!

On my first full day with Sal and Aaron we went for a drive and after being really nervous i only went on towards the wrong side of the road twice. Quite a good result i think!! It was fun in the end. They also took me up to Fairmont ski resort to have a look. I know i have said it before but it is so beautiful!!! This afternoon Sal and I went for a walk and it was about 12 degrees.. so hot we had a ice cream!!! Mum we had a look at the shops and you would love it here!!
This week is full of adventures! Just tomorrow, i get my phone, social insurance number, bank account and drive on my own to do it! I really miss everyone!

Just arrived

Today i arrived in Invermere and on first impressions it is so beautiful! The mountains with snow on top are jaw dropping! Sal and Aaron picked me up from Spokane after a very early flight from San Fran today. The drive from Spokane to Invermere was about 5 hours but longer with the stops and border check. (which went very well with no problems)
My day yesterday in San Fran was fun. I went on the cable car around the city and that was good, i went over the iron gate bridge, sat in union square, went on a tour of the city and after all that went back to my room and crashed!
After leaving my passport at a desk in the airport and then having to run like a mad woman to get it again once i realised.. i only miss placed my camera but it was in my bag in the end so no other mishaps..
It has been great but also hard. I do miss everyone alot and its hard to think about being here and not with you guys but it is beautiful here and i'm excited about seeing what lays ahead. Sal and Aaron have been so lovely and looked after me which has been fantastic! I'm going to go for my first drive on the wrong side of the road tomorrow... scary.... i will let you know how it goes.

A new adventure...

So in 2 days I will be leaving...going on a jet plane to Canada! Why am I going you might ask? Well, it's time for a change, time for something new...time for an adventure! I am scared and nervous, and can't believe I am actually going! I will miss everyone...but it is time to do something for me...
