A quick update

Winter has arrived in Calgary. Already?! Jeps, we got 2 weeks of fall and that was it. Straight to winter it is. Last night it started to snow and it snowed until just now actually. Very lightly and nothing is accumulating on the ground but still, first snow is first snow.
So, what's going on with the house? Well big news actually. We are taking possession on the 29th of October!!! Yeeeeaaaaah. The house looks great. All the cabinets are in and the house is fully painted. This week the tiles are going in. And after that the hardwood. I am busy organising all the bank and legal stuff. But everything seems to be ok. Only 4 weeks to go!

Sarah swapped cold, damp Calgary for the heat of Mexico. She's on a ship (the Rollingstone) smack dab in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Communicating with her is going to be though because she doesn't have any internet or phone access. Last Wednesday she called me with a satellite phone to inform me about her situation. She is surrounded by oil rigs and apparently that's an awesome sight. I can't wait to see some pictures. It sounds neat!

At the end of the month Sarah's mom is going to be visiting us! Great timing Ann!!! You can help us move into the house. :)

I am going to leave you with some pictures I took on a photo excursion last Sunday (and the weekend before). They are all taken in a region called Kananaskis. I was surrounded by beautiful fall colours. And I saw a lot of wild life!
