Adventures Ahead

Hello World!

It seems like everybody is blogging adventures these days. Since Sara and I have decided to move to Vancouver for a year, we want to be cool too and share our adventures with the internet.

We flew into Vancouver on August 15, a week ago today. We found a place to live [the green building at the intersection] that is very close to Kits Beach and we're hoping to move in over the next couple of days. In the meantime we're staying with Deborah, a friend of my dad's from his fisherman days. [Factoid: Deborah and I were both born in Prince Rupert!]



Today was quite...well...impressive. Our mission was to start furnishing our apartment, and furnish we did. We rented a U-Haul cargo van and drove to all sorts of Craigslist pickups, Ikea, and Walmart. In the end, we acquired:

• Large couch (sofa bed - visitors welcome!), 2 footstools
• Coffee table, 2 side tables
• Solid wood bedframe (to go with the mattress and springboard we ordered yesterday)
  
• Dining room table and 4 chairs
• Bookcase
  
• Office chair
• 2 floor lamps
• TV stand

Despite some injuries in the process, we're both happy to have moved all this furniture into our new apartment.
