Made it.

Wow. I really cannot do this whole blog thing. Not too sure how people do it once a week. Nothing exciting happens in my life and I can’t really seem to find the time or the drive to write. Things have certainty changed since my last post in Calgary. I have reached my destination in BC. The drive through the mountains where very beautiful. I love driving through the mountains. It’s one of my favorite things about Canada. I love the water that runs though them and looking up at the majestic views. What a gift God gave to the world. Although the one down side is that Aubrey does not share my feelings on the mountains and she spent most of the trip pretending were weren’t in them. But we made it and it was fabulous.

I was very excited once we had reached Vancouver. I had never seen the BC Ferry and was excited to get onto the island. Just wanted to get there! I had been on a large ferry before but that was from Dublin to Wales. The ferry was neat, I think I spent most of it on the top deck with the wind in my hair. It may have been cold but it was wonderful. I love the cold! The café in the ferry was very neat. All different kinds of food. I ate very good Sushi and munched on some of the kids fries. I did get lost too. You think you’re all grown up and you can take care of yourself, and then you lose the family your traveling with. I went below deck to where we were parked and we eventually met up. I tell you, I had never felt so much like a 3 year old, but I didn’t panic and try to think logically. It all worked out.


After the ferry ride, we had finally reached Aunty Berta’s. We didn’t have a place to live or call our own and we were exhausted, but we had finally reached our destination. We stayed in Aunty Berta’s basement for a while. It fit us alright, but one thing I was not expecting was the size of the spiders here. Oh my goodness. While we were there I hit the books and began to start my school work while Aubrey and Koos worked on getting the kids into school and trying to find a place to stay.

About 3 weeks into living at Aunty Berta’s, we had finally found a place to live in Duncan. A very neat duplex. It was nice to move in and finally get into a place we could call home. Things are finally settling down and we are getting back into a routine. Across our house is a park and a very neat backyard with a little pond. All in all, it’s a great place and I’m glad to be here.
