Home buying

I'm going to Edmonton on Thursday with the hopes of finding and buying a condo in 4 days. For some reason this scares me....It sort of makes the fact that I am moving to Edmonton permanent, not to mention the fact that I will be looking at condos, making the biggest financial decision of my life and signing all the papers on my own! The original plan was to have one of my parents come with me but that isn't going to happen because of work. I am taking big breaths and telling myself that I am a big girl and can do this on my own.

I did get my study permit in the mail today from the consulate. They decided they would let me into the country, as I assumed that they would. Thank goodness Canada seems a little easier to deal with than Norway (with the exception of certain border people who think I'm abandoning my furniture there, honestly...if I'd wanted to do that I could have left it in Salt Lake).

In other news, I had a really nice weekend. I bought new shoes and pedals for my road bike, and then had to go try them out on Sunday. I did a 30 mile ride with my mom and Pam, part of our training for the Fireweed 400 The weather was the nicest that it has been since I've been home, with the exception of some random five minute thunderstorms, so we did a lot of work in the yard. I even got mildly sunburnt. something that rarely happens here. Too bad I had to go back to work today, when its still nice so nice out!
