brief update

Since returning from Australia, I seem to have fallen behind in my blog posting here. Life has been a little crazy, with moving to Calgary and getting settled in. So I've been in Calgary for about 3 weeks now, and this weekend is the first that I've actually been in town the whole weekend! I've been enjoying exploring the city, finding the dog parks and running trails, yoga studios and coffee shops, the farmers market, and other fun things around town! The area that I am living in is great, only 2 blocks from the river, where there are great trails, a few blocks from an off-leash area for Riley, and I'm just west of a funky little shopping area. Its pretty centrally located with easy access to other points in the city, which is really nice. I've finished my two and a half weeks of training for my job, and now I am just hoping that they call me in for shifts! I have also applied for a bunch of part time jobs that I am hoping will keep me going for income in between waiting for work from the Health Region. There are 4 full time positions with the Health Region opening up in the next few months, so I have my fingers crossed that as a casual employee I'll have a good chance of getting one of them! I haven't been up to the mountains yet, except for a conference in Banff two weekends ago. I can see the mountains from the city though and they are calling my name! Hopefully I'll be up in Canmore skiing in the next month or so =) I'll try to get some pictures up here at some point of what I am up to. As I settle in and life becomes a little lexx hectic hopefully I'll have time to post a little more often again.
