We took this photo on the front lawn of the Empress Hotel after Sarah & Joe's wedding in June of 2004. It was that visit that prompted our desire to live in Victoria. Today, nearly 2 1/2 years later, we received our visas, a nearly complete immigration process!
Early next year we will retrieve our belongings from San Diego and upon entry to Canada we will intitiate the "landing" process. Within a month of that entry date we will receive our "permanent resident" cards, which are valid for a five year period.
It is hard to believe we are really here ... it has been 5 weeks already!!
The lower level of the deck railings were removed today, I chopped a bunch of wood (to be used in the wood stove next year) and yesterday the newly reinforced compost bin was erected. Plans are underway for our remodel projects. Next week I need to get some drawings, as well as information for a building permit, at the city.
Christy and Ken head our way tomorrow ... we are super excited for their visit!
OH ... I nearly forgot ... we strung up our first string of seasonal lights tonight ... they look great!
