Well I'm sure most of you Facebook users know that we are moving to Cranbrook by now, so I thought I'd better write up a thorough explanation.
Just this past Monday James got a call from one of the Forestry companies he has been applying for for the last 8 months. He then had a phone interview with Maple Leaf Forestry in Cranbrook on Tuesday and then got a call back Wednesday telling him he had the job and when could he start. He was very excited to tell Rona that his last day of work was going to be Saturday because he has to start work on the 14th of Sept at the latest. So it's all been very fast.
We are excited to finally have a decent job again, and in a desirable part of the province. For those of you who don't know where Cranbrook is, it's in the east Kootenays. About a nine or ten hour drive from Chilliwack, two hours or so from Calgary, and only an hour and half from Nelson! It's also pretty close to Waterton National Park in the Rockies, so it really is in a lovely area.
It's all very exciting, but also bittersweet. I have really enjoyed being close to our families this past year, especially with Gwen. They have been so supportive. I'm really going to miss being so close. So that part will be quite an adjustment. But it's nothing we can't handle.
James really needs to find a place to stay for a few weeks this month before I can come up and find a place for Oct 1st. So if anyone knows of anyone with a room to spare, or rent for the rest of September, please let us know. And if you know of any 2 or 3 bedroom places to rent, please let us know as well.
I will probably be going up the weekend after next to start looking. But I will not be moving up there with Gwendalyn until the beginning of October at the earliest. All depending on whether or not I can find a suitable and clean place to live.
I'll try and keep this blog updated a bit more often with our plans :)
