Yeaaaaaaaah! Finallyyyyy!!!!!!
So long story short. Last Tuesday I had my first job interview. All went super well. The company was impressed with my portfolio and today they offered me a job as a Graphic Designer! I am so happy. The waiting period (and the 'I feel so useless-period') is finally over! I start on Tuesday by the way.
So, the company is called LPi Communications. It's a 'small' Graphic Designers office but they deal with large companies like Coca Cola US & Canada, Kraft foods, The Calgary Stampede, etc etc. I will be replacing their most senior staff member and I will be responsible for creating all kinds of graphic stuff. Like banners, billboards, coupons, advertisements, and so on... (no newspapers for me anymore).
So yeah I'm excited!!! The long wait is over... BIG SMILEY FACE :)

We have bought a HOUSE!!!
BIG NEWS EVERY ONE! Stop the presses (like I would say).
We have officialy bought our own place today! Whoooohoooo.
We bought a new house (it's still has to be build though) in Cochrane. A little town about 20 minutes West of Calgary (even closer to the mountains!). It will be build in a community a top of a hill called Sunset Ridge. And yes we will be able to see those sunsets. Our new adress will be 234 Sunset View. Now, isn't that nice huh?!
Needless to say we are very excited! And we can't wait untill Jayman (the building company) breaks ground. And ofcourse we will be updating our blog every week from now on so you can see the advancements in the building process. The buidling should be done somewhere by the end of August early September.
This is a sketch of what the front of the house will look like (except for the colours)
This is a picture of the lot we choose. Our lot is between the two yellow poles.
This is the view we will be getting all year round. Aaaaaagh those mountains.

A horse! My kingdom for a horse!
I know, it’s been awhile since we have updated our blog but we have been pretty busy lately. More about that later!
So I returned to Calgary on the 8th of april. I’m home until the end of may, then I return back to Nova Scotia for 2 months. And in September I’m going to work in Mexico! So I have some good prospects!
Last Friday I went horseback riding with Ilse. Ilse is a friend of Martine (my Belgian horseback riding teacher) Ilse lives on the countryside, about 40 minutes from Calgary, and has 7 beautiful horses. I had the honor to ride with Boo(delicious), her daughter’s eventing horse. It was soooo nice to sit on the back of a horse again, after 3 months of “absence”. We went for a trail ride but there was still a lot of snow in the woods. At some places the horses were knee high in the snow. But I enjoyed it a lot! Next week we go for another ride!
This weekend I also go to the Mane Event in Red Deer. The mane event is comparable with the Horse Event in Deurne. 5 arenas with lots of different clinics so that will be fun!

Another interesting fact about Calgary. Yesterday it was 22 degrees. Today it’s -4 and snowing… It started snowing this afternoon and it’s still snowing. Spring in Canada, you never know what ya gonna get…
