Before you read what I write. Read who I am.

Originally from Alberta and in the last number of years having been living in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are now living in Woolwich, London where we inhabit a wonderful little 2 floor flat in the Royal Arsenal. The family has grown over the years from being just my wife and I to the family of four we are now. My work has brought us to London for the next two years where for the first time in ages we will live in the same house for more than a birthday. The experience is written below from then till now. With a view of the Thames from our windows and boat ride to work the new life begins.

Waiting

We're still waiting on London to come through as there have been some issues with the process. I have now gotten my UK Visa and it wasn't that painful. I have the Right of Abode through my Mother and am able to live and work there now. Overall once I got my supporting documents together the consulate approved my visa in 5 days. With Kate and the kids it's going to cost a lot more and may take even more time.

With no real date for the position start or our move I'm feeling a little surprised at how comfortable I am after selling a lot of our stuff at our garage sale. We've gotten rid of our computer and other electronics, kitchen stuff to a tiny minimum and are losing more everyday.

When the move happens (optimism here) we will have very little going with us and very little staying here. It will be jarring, and exciting to do this move and there is still a lot ahead of us to get there. There's also the alternative where we face limited money short term ability to afford our place and a tight job market. (Pessimist)


I hope it's the first one.
