The Home

Although not directly related to the wedding cememony & reception we've had a big month in terms of our life together. Many of you have been aware that we've been looking for a home already, figuring that this is a better time of year to be buying (as many of us know what the market in Calgary has been like in the past year). Many of you may not be aware that we have found a home & have moved in! We moved in December 1st and have been settling in ever since & making the place our home. We were lucky to have furniture and other home items donated to us from family. We also had financial help from my Nanny. We've had some house guests already: Michelle's sister's family; Heather, Aaron & Connor and Michelle's mom Evelyn. Michelle's dad Brien (and Elaine) will be our guests too in the near future.

It's a townhouse condo in a very well-kept complex that is minutes walk from Dalhousie train station. It even has a rec centre for us to use that includes a large party room, swimming pool and gym. We've various ambitious projects that we want to undertake inside the home like painting the fireplace. We can't wait to get some art on the walls: they're nice and big for large paintings. It's a great start for us--better than we could have ever wished for.
