1 year anniversary

Waw time really flies when life is good! Today, one year ago, we arrived in Canada. Everything is more than A-OK over here. Last week we even said to each other that we didn't feel any regrets at all about our 'big move'. We are still living the dream. :)

Two weeks ago we got hit by what are called Chinook winds. This is air that literally rolls down the mountains and picks up heat. We went from -35 to +10 in a matter of days. All the snow is almost gone. Roads are back to normal (except for the massive amounts of gravel, and the windshield chips that come along with it).

Also today was a big day in Calgary. The Olympic Flame was back in town (since 1988)! They even lit the Calgary Tower again! That is one awesome sight! It looks like a big birthday candle to us (happy 1 year anniversary!). ;) My boss was one of the lucky ones to run with the flame this morning. And he let me touch the torch!
Tomorrow the Flame passes through Cochrane and Sarah is planning on watching it run by.

This summer it's going to be crazy busy around here. A lot of friends are coming over from Belgium. We are really looking forward to this. Luckily we have some spare rooms to share.

Last but not least we want to wish you all a happy new year and lot's of joy in 2010.
