Super Duper Happy!!



Oh yeah... I forgot to mention the PUPPY!! It only took me 5 days to talk Talon into getting me this puppy. I do spend a lot of time by myself out here and am super excited to have a new buddy to come on my adventures with me. He's a dachshund boston terrier cross. I've never seen a dog like him. He'll grow up to be about 10 pound and will look like a little lab. We are both pretty excited and I think a dog will fit perfectly in with our new lifestyle. We will get him on Oct 2 so I'm sure you'll see more pics then. His name is Donkey Kong. We'll call him Donk.


We are really loving living in Vancouver. It's just been amazing how everything has worked out for us here and I feel greatfull every day for that. I do miss my family and friends but I don't miss Calgary and work. I had a great month off discovering the city and area. We are living in North Vancouver and great. We can ride a ferrie into downtown that's only 3 blocks from our house. Its pretty amazing to be able to ride our bikes to the beach and then be able to go hike up a mountain the same afternoon. There's ton's of mountain biking trails and I'm super excited to try out the 3 ski hills that are only about 15 min away from our house? I can see why Talon liked living out here.
Talon's job couldn't be better. He works at a 3D production and printing company called Protodemon. http://www.protodemon.com/3D_Model_Prototyping_and_Printing/

He's working with his 2 good buddies from Fort Macleod about 3 blocks from our house in an amazing loft that looks out onto the harbour. They are getting lots of steady work and learning a lot and he says that most of the time he doesn't really feel like he's at work because he loves what he's doing. Him and his buddy Joe have converted a shed in Joe's backyard into a motorcycle shop. Its pretty sweet actually and they spend hours working on bikes. They are almost fininshed with a bike Joe bought a month ago. They pretty much stripped everything off it and rebuilt it. It's looking great. I'm always pretty impressed what they can do. Needless to say Talons a pretty happy boy these days.

I'm currently becoming a Yogi. I'm doing my teacher training and will be finished in October. Its a 5 week course and I will be certified with the Yoga Alliance. Super Exciting. I've done yoga for years and have always wanted to train. I love it so much and just want to keep learning. I have a few people that I already have lined up to come teach in there homes and I hope to get a job at a studio when I'm finished. I have been doing hair out of my house and am actually getting quite busy. Word of mouth is spreading and I have decided that self employment is the way to go right now.

I don't really know if life can get better than this. I'm so happy and content right now. I want for nothing and am so blessed.
