and it’s not Kits beach, it’s not even English Bay. It’s like Hawaii, or Mexico, somewhere far away from new job, new place to live and new everything else. Man I like change but this is getting out of hand! I’m forcing to write this even though I haven’t even eaten dinner yet! Good thing I type 90wpm. Okay so hmm where did I leave off?
I believe it was shortly before my bday. I turned 31 on the 29th and had a great but mellow celebration with my dear Kimberly. I also cut off all my hair! (again, something new) and I bought a lot of new clothes for my new job.
Since then I have been adjusting to new work hours and trying to figure out bus routes and then realized I could park for $7.00/day so I got lazy and started driving to work in the AM which allows me more time to…sleep. Getting up at 6 is hard! Work is still good and I’ve learned quite a bit since I started. I like the people and it’s a great work atmosphere. It will get way better when I have clients and am not dependent on other teammates to give me tasks.
Aside from work which feels like has consumed my world, I have been searching for a new roomie and place to live for May 1st. I am leaving cute lil Kitsilano for the posh overpriced downtown. The decision to move was based off my commute and of course a new environment. Since arriving in 2006, I have moved West every year and I think I’m running out of land, soon I’ll be in some sort of house boat 
I have found two new roomies; Karl & Vanessa who both are from New Zealand (more Kiwi friends yay!). Karl is living in Van now and Vanessa arrives mid April. Amazingly enough Karl and I were able to find a GORGEOUS 2 bed 2 bath condo in Yaletown (Spectrum I building) and actually got in on the spot. We couldn’t have found a nicer place. So now we are just working out the details and soon the lease will be signed. If I wasn’t so damn tired I’d be estatic.
Wow that’s the cole notes version of my life lately, it is MUCH longer in person but I’m too tired to type it all out. So basically I’m surrounded by newness and couldn’t be happier. I’ve met some great new friends and am one happy girl. I hope I continue to be.
