Since moving to Victoria, we haven’t had the chance to have many visitors. This is of course understandable–the majority of our friend base is a whole province away. This was not really much of an issue, we lived with Andrew, and being the somewhat social creature that he is, we always had people around.

Since getting our own place however, we hadn’t had any visitors. Again this is understandable. With Christmas, our trip to Edmonton and our hectic schedule, we really hadn’t had the chance to have anyone over. Of course this week that all changed.

Last Sunday we had our friend Sharron come and visit us from the mainland. She had the honour of being our first guest in our place. It was nice to finally have someone over to see where we live, and after being Sharron’s first overnight guest, it was nice to have her as our first guest. She missed out on being the first overnight guest though.

That distinction will get to go to Aaron and Christine. They will be coming in to visit us tomorrow evening. I have been looking forward to this for a while. Always good to have one of your best friends to come and visit, especially when you don’t get to see them often. We have arranged a bit of a larger get together on Saturday as well. An excuse to be huge geeks of course, but hey, that also means that they get to be here for our first party-like gathering.

So busy weekend.

In the midst of packing and cleaning, I had to take Museless to the ferry so he can start his trek to Australia. It was hard saying good bye; I will miss him for sure. At least we got a good gaming session and coffee session in before he left.

I am working on almost no sleep. Between cleaning, packing and final hang out sessions sleep has fallen by the wayside. Tomorrow afternoon though we get our new place.

This is a big thing for me, I have never lived in a place with out roommates, and I couldn’t be happier about finally getting a place with Kate. We are both really excited.

Kate started her new job today. Should be good for her. It definitely is more her style.

Again it has been a busy while, and our update schedule has slowed to — well a bit of a standstill. In reality we have been quite busy. Museless is about to head off to Australia, so we have been busy trying to find a new place to live. We got ourselves a nice 2 bedroom, close to both of our work.

Of course finding the place was a bit of an adventure.  the second place we looked at had everything we wanted; utilities were included and the place had a walk-in closet and plenty of kitchen space. So we rushed to get a damage deposit in 2 hours is what it took for us to do so.  Only to find out someone beat us to the apartment by all of an hour. We were crushed.

Luckily, the person at the rental office was fantastic. She agreed to hold the other apartments for a day. Long enough for us to have a look at them and say if we wanted it. We now have this beautiful apartment in a good location, though the kitchen really sucks. We get to move in on the 29th.

We still have some of the details to work out – such as getting services set up, but overall it is going well.

We will keep you updated
