MY LIFE IN BOXES
I apologize for the lack of updates lately! My life is in boxes and so was my computer!
The move went well on Saturday. We managed to pack up the entire apartment in 24 hours. The movers came Saturday afternoon and it only took them 3 hours to do the entire move. Wow! Super fast. Allan and I were helping the entire time so that’s probably a big factor for why it went so fast. My forearms and quads are still tired! But at least it was a good workout 
Despite the crazy move on Saturday night, we still managed to get out for a friend’s birthday and play… of all things… bingo. It was entertaining to say the least. And then a late night Wendy’s snack.
Sunday was spent unpacking, mounting the TV (took a couple hours), cleaning the place, getting cable hooked up, and installing some curtains. We didn’t get much of a chance to really unpack any personal belongings.
Monday I started my new job in Gastown! I’ve got a beautiful view that I can see from my desk of Canada Place and the water. It makes a huge difference on my mood when I can see the water and the mountains in the background. Keeps me invigorated. Everyone at the company is SO SO nice. Ridiculously nice, really. I’m having a little trouble adjusting to all the new systems I am learning, but each day I am feeling more and more comfortable. I hope I can make a big difference.
I have tomorrow and Friday off for moving chores and because of the Nexon Big White trip. Even though the studio is now closed, we all paid for the trip already so we’re going to have a great time snowboarding and skiing together. I’m really excited. Looks like the conditions up at Big White won’t be too bad!
I have two of my really close university guy friends (and roommate!) coming up from San Francisco to visit me and also to go on the trip. They’re arriving Thursday and Friday, so somehow I have to get the entire room that is full of boxes and sports stuff somewhat cleared. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do it in one day by myself. Scary.
Either way it looks like it should be a great time at Big White and so far the move is going alright! I can’t wait to show you guys some of the pictures from the place now that it’s starting to get somewhat organized

UD, yep I just need to get it all settled. We don’t even have a proper coffee table yet! Don’t want to start spending on furniture until after I’ve gotten a few paycheques, hehe
Tyler, yes! It may take a while but I will definitely take them. Maybe I’ll do it in stages as I get rooms set up. Office view is really nice. I should remember to bring my camera into work!
Ben, yes it was fantastic at Big White when we were there! So jealous you live there!
Tawcan, does Big White have good backcountry? I didn’t see any access points when I was there..
Becca, awwww I miss you….. why don’t you come visit me? Thanks for the best wishes
Drea, thanks! I definitely need to take more photos. Haven’t had enough time lately
Sean, yes, it definitely took a little while to adjust but I think I’ve got the hang of it now!
Zac, thanks! Yes I LOVE the shirt! I need to get up a post about it.. I haven’t been blogging as much as I would like to! Snow is decent.. but it was definitely better in previous years.
