NEW JOB

We have been up in Canada now for 4 months and have fallen in love. This is our new home and we look forward to creating lots of memories here. Words cannot describe how amazing this town is. So I suggest that everyone just come visit us and see for yourself!! There has been a few differences that have taken us some time to get used to. The following are a few examples..

• Cost of everything is higher here (gas, food, etc)
• Speed limit is in KM not MPH
• Peace Officers instead of Police Officers
• Money (our change actually adds up with loonies and toonies)
• Weather in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit
• Gas in Liters instead of Gallons

Not too much to report on Brandon. He has been busier then ever with baseball. He has not had much time to do anything else. He is looking forward to a small break after season before fall ball starts up again. He is happier then ever and I am so proud of him. Nothing gives me more joy than to watch my husband do what he loves

Since moving up here I have not been working. I took the summer off to get our house organized and be able to watch all of Brandon's baseball games. I also signed up for a new workout program. I am now doing Cross fit at Natural High Cross fit Club. It is the best workout and I have met some amazing people at this place. I took my two mom's to a class while they were in town. They were great support and the class enjoyed all the cheerleading!! We have also met some wonderful new friends since we moved up here.
   The biggest news is I officially accepted a new job yesterday. I am now the Office Manager with Executrade in downtown Calgary. You can look at the website to find out more about the company. Executrade is a recruitment and employment agency. They call themselves headhunters, but when I tell most people that they seem to think I am going to be hunting. HA HA. I am very excited about the opportunity and looking forward to getting back into work. I start the position September 6th. We actually met some of the people that work for the company in line while at the Calgary Stampede. My husband does not know strangers and started talking to a few people and before I knew it I was getting contact information to send in my resume. I interviewed initially with the premise that the company would help me land a job somewhere in Calgary. However, upon meeting me they said they had an opening in their company and thought I was the perfect fit. So I met with the Vice President of the Company and the rest is history.
