transcontinental jaunt

so its a few days on....monday i spent at the canada services building in calgary gettinga social insurance number so i can work...fun fun fun...followed by a good quick meal at earls with julie, before rushing to the airport to get my 3:45 flight to toronto....

it was hard saying goodbye to julie again. its amazing how quickly we slip back into it being jsut normal to have the other one around. so that was hard. but the flight went fast enough and i arrived to the best welcome ive ever had! yvonne, laura, and julie (lauras sister) were waiting for me at the airport and were so excited to see me that they actually jumped the fence thing and came into the bagge claim to hug me. pretty funny! and pretty sure evryone else was jealous they didnt get the same welcome! was so so so good to see them all again. and have spent the tiem since then hanging out and slipping back into that being the norm.

yvonne and i are staying here at lauras all week until staff training at the ranch from sunday. so we have a fun week of slepeing,e ating, shopping and random fun planned.

today we ended up meeting up with a friend of mine from School- joel. we didnt manage to catch each other when we were both in canada last year so we made a concerted effort to do it this time! so we picked him up at the station and hung out in the mall food court for a bit over an hour! very scenice location i know,, but the company was good. it was very cool and random to get to catch up with joel on the opposite side of the world to our normal existence. and nice to have a good dose of the aussie accent as hanging out with the canadians is already chipping away at my accent!

so all is well, missing home and people alot...and my body clock is still messed up, but hopefully that should all subside soon as i get into the swing of things here!

hope your all well :)

Hi Lynda.

You can still say the word 'about' the right way, can't you?

Cheers,
