Oh hi. Let’s play catch up. Here is a string of facts to fill you in on the latest:
  • Our new ‘hood: Mount Pleasant.
  • Joel’s new commute: One substantial bike ride with a many-kilometre hill at the end of it, or one 40 minute bus ride
  • Bb’s new favourite place to hang out: Our apartment. It’s the best. Oh, and Seattle (Hi Natasha!)
  • What’s close to our house: Almost everything! Libraries, excellent coffee, cute shops, transit, thrift stores, groceries.
  • What’s far from our house: Friends and family. We miss you all.
  • Job hunting: Sucks a lot.
  • Finding a good job at the end of a long job hunt: Does not suck. Yay.
  • Things we love here: The green green green and flowers in February! All the new restaurants to try! The ocean!
  • Prettiest views: The mountains on a clear day.
  • Visitors we have had: SO MANY! Kaeli! Melissa! The Kelly Family! Kerry! Kim! Natasha! Pencil! And many more!
  • Current obsession: Corn tortillas. Both of us. We can't get enough. Tacos for dinner EVERY NIGHT. Unless we are eating sushi that day. 
  • Weirdest thing I have seen since moving here: A lady in a satin blouse and stilettos trying to chase a guy in a suit who had just stolen a box of wine from the lobby of a building downtown. Eventually another guy in a suit came sprinting out and saved the day. 
  • Something we should have done by now but we haven't: Gone to Whistler (come visit and we can go together!)
  • Something awesome that we HAVE done: Wilco concert at the Orpheum!

Here is some greenery to make you Albertans envious. We miss you.

  1. NEW neighbourhood? Newer than when you moved to Vancouver first? I'm confused. Did you move again and not tell me?

    I wish to visit. Need a job first, so I can afford a ticket to fly.

    LOVE YOU.

  2. It still feels like a new neighbourhood. I was just re-establishing some of the basic facts. Don't fret.
