Since a decent amount of time has passed since I last wrote, I'll once again save your time and summarize: The Good:
- Tyler and Brooke got married!
(They got married on a rainy day in January [in case you don't know, "rainy" and "January" are never paired together this far north, so it was weird] and Andrew and I had the privilege of being their photographers/videographers)
- We are in Bragg Creek, Alberta!
(Took us a month, but we finally made it across the country. Driest roads, sunniest and warmest weather we have ever travelled the country in. Ironically, we are thinking of doing more road trips in January)
- We both are employed and not homeless!
(While we took for granted we would be living in the same location, there were a couple tense moments when we didn't know where we would be living [as in like, anywhere...in the whole country of Canada]. But we have a very cute cabin at camp which we love love love. I am cooking full time in the kitchen and Andrew is driving school bus for a special needs school. The Unknown:
-The Future.
But I'll expand on that. We moved to Alberta for a variety of reasons, but the primary one being that we needed to save money in order for me to go to school (to become a Midwife..in case you didn't know). I completed all of my prerequisites in PEI and applied to two schools in December. One is located in Calgary, the other in Sudbury, Ontario. Midwifery is incredibly competitive in Canada as each school only accepts 20-30 students/year and there are only 6 schools in Canada (and I am only eligible for 3 of them). Unfortunately I just heard back from the one in Calgary and was not accepted. We will find out in March whether I have been accepted to Laurentian (the one in Ontario) or not.
Needless to say, we don't know what the future holds or what we will do when we do know. But, we are in Bragg Creek till at least September. After that, well, we are open to suggestions.
