Greetings from our New Province

We arrived in Oshawa exactly one week ago, but it feels like so much longer. What a busy week!


The week has been full of surprises, mostly pleasant. I had forgotten about our walk-in closet, and we also have a garborator that we didn't know about when we bought the house, and our new couch is actually a hide-a-bed.


Ontario is very different from BC. I already knew that the people were much more friendly here, and that a "regular" coffee here comes with cream and sugar. There are other things too, like their 4-litre milk doesn't come in a big jug, but a sac of 3 little bags! It's very weird. Everything costs less in Ontario, including groceries. So we have been eating mostly organic food for the same price as regular food in BC.


I turned 27 during all this activity and had a new getting-older experience: puffy bags under my eyes in the morning. Actually, just one eye; it was weird. Anyway, as I reflect on my life so far I am very happy. I think this move was a wonderful thing and feel totally sure that life here is better and more suited to us.
