Summertime in Halifax and the living is good!

It's been 3 months since I've written here and feeling like it's time to get back into it. I was getting a little down after returning to Canada and on the job hunt for so long - but now that has changed and I start my new position on Wednesday with World Wildlife Fund - I can't wait!

The summer is just starting and it's July already. I heard that the weather in Belgium has been scorching - why is it that it rained for the six months I was there? The fog here is comparable to the rain there - it's a daily event!

So Canada celebrated it's 141st Birthday - fun times in the Maritimes! It is so nice to see such spirit among the city - it is really the first weekend of many to come as the summer is just starting. Now I have the JazzFest to look forward to. I volunteer for it every year and have a blast. I wouldn't call myself a huge Jazz fan - but chatting with the musicians, making some new friends volunteering, serving drinks to some fans and just having fun - it is fantastic!

Summertime also brings me a trip to the bungalow in Mira! My favorite place in the whole world. Now that I have a niece, it is especially exciting knowing that she lives to close. Now, I don't expect her to go tubing or jump off the float just yet - but that time will come!

Yah for summer!

I can't wait to hear all about your new job! Congrats!

It rained while you were here because it was winter and you came at the worst possible time :) We have had some really nice weather but the scorching has died down a bit this week and we're back to rain. We've had some great patio nights though. Hopefully the weather in Hfx will co-operate when we're home in a few weeks!
