Here I am with the students from my Intertidal Ecology and Diversity class this passed May!We are also talking to our landlord about buying the house we are living in!!!!!! Our house is located right near the University (walking to work is so important!!) and in a very sought after neighbourhood so the houses are pretty expensive. The only way we could even contemplate living in this area is by having an income property where we can use the rent from one flat to help pay the mortgage...which is exactly what our house is...plus we live in the smaller flat so we would make quite a bit more on the rent for the main floor flat... We are kind of waiting to see if I get the job before really commiting to anything. Luckily, we have a wonderful landlord that really likes us and wants us to buy it, so he is willing to wait.
Last but definitely not least!!! We celebrated Canada Day with some new friends!!! We had EcoYogini and her fiance over for dinner last night! We ate great food, drank copious amounts of wine, missed the Halifax Fireworks but cheered to Canada over a sipping tequila!!! We had a lot of fun getting to know each other and I see a great friendship blooming! Thanks guys for a great evening and Diego and I are already looking forward to our next date! ;)
Wishing you all happiness today and everyday!!!

YAY sipping Tequila!! Andrew and I had a FABULOUS time last night, and I was just entering hotmail to email you so! The food was awesome and we were having so much fun with your awesome company! Andrew said he lost track of time and felt a little badly that we left so late- we hope that you had enough sleep!
ReplyDeletealso- the fantastic tequila didn't even leave us hungover!!!! MAGIC :)
we're hoping for some yoga in the park this weekend if the weather permits and also would love to have you and Diego over for supper some time :)
So exciting! I can't wait to hear all of your updates on the exciting news. And that's terrific that you had new friends over!
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers for you for the job!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a nice Canada Day! We didn't do anything special to celebrate, but likewise for July 4th (equal opportunity non-celebrations). ;)
That's fantastic! I'm sending lots of "good-job-getting-and-house-buying" vibes your way :)
ReplyDeleteAll fingers and toes are crossed to help you get the job. Sounds like you had an awesome evening with new friends. It would be nice to meet you and Ecoyogini at some point. I love reading both your blogs. Woohoo, when you get into the tequilla that means serious celebrations :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to meet up with you Vickie! You'll have to keep us posted when you pop in to Halifax :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again to all of you for your support! I will definitely keep you all posted! :)
ReplyDeleteVickie, I too would love to meet up with you and if you are ever in the Halifax area let me know...but I will also keep you posted on any trips out your way!! Diego and I had an idea to do a Frenchy's tour! Starting in Halifax and culminating in Yarmouth to visit you and Sherrie...not tomention pick up any cool stuff along the way! I will definitely let you know if and when that happens!
Alli and Eco Yogini - that will be great, if we can meet up sometimes. As I've commented to EcoYogini, I'm in Halifax tomorrow but it's a very quick run to the mall to try and find a mother of the bride dress. But next time, I'll let you two know and we'll meet somewheres. I'm in Halifax twice a year for Board meetings at our campus on Walnut Street. And yes for sure Alli let me know if ever you are in the French Shore area. Some of the best Frenchy's are here :-)
ReplyDeleteexcellent! mother of the bride dress shopping- OUUU!!! fun :) Good luck!
ReplyDeletealso- I just realized, that by letting "us" know I meant Andrew and I... not Alli and I, lol. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was "speaking" for Alli! :)
I think we are all in agreement...we need ot get together at some point!!! ;)
