Is it really October 20th already? I can't believe how quickly the past few months have flown by! Our summer was busy with another visit home (both Victoria and Alberta), paddling, friends and family. Michelle, Ron and family visited us this summer, and Dallas and Florence visited us this September. It was nice to have everyone visit, since it is getting close to when we will be moving back to Victoria. Yes, plans are still underway to return back to the island. Chris has started his job search, and I am doing my part by trying to finish my thesis in a timely manner. I got a job at lululemon in August, and I am thoroughly enjoying my work there. I hope to be able to transfer to the Victoria store, at least for bit so that I will have some work while I will be looking for something more like a "career" type job. Don't ask me what that entails, since I am not sure myself; I would like to work with the CRD (Capital Regional District) again, in environmental services, so I am going to see if I can work my ties there.
We have been enjoying the fall, with its beautiful colours. We have also been enjoying our friends and neighbours. We will be sad to leave them all, but not sad enough to make us want to stay.
On the animal front, the cats are doing well. Well, at least Techno is. Jazzy is starting to fade, although for a 15-16 year old cat, she can still be pretty feisty when she wants to be.
As always, I will try to blog more regularily, since I have been remiss again.
Here is a picture of us after getting "participation" medals from the Huntsville Dragonboat Festival, by far the rainiest and most miserable paddling conditions I have ever seen. We deserved those medals!
