In the meantime, a few details! It's a 2-bedroom condo in Burnaby, with a fireplace, in- suite laundry, and the building has a pool in a separate "pool house" in the gardens. It's on a quiet cul-de-sac, but only a 10 minute walk from the Skytrain. It's also close to a big mall, and the Trans-Canada. Overall, it meets pretty much all of our criteria, and only needs a little bit of updating to make it perfect for us. And we think we got a good deal on it too, which is great.

That's pretty much been eating up most of our spare time for the past few weeks. In other news, we started our marriage preparation course, which is going to be a lot more impersonal than I was expecting, as there are over 50 other couples there! I think Todd is relieved that he doesn't have to talk in front of the group. :-)

This week has been the world figure skating championships, which means, among other things, that it's been one year since I was in Sweden. I have been back in Canada for a whole year already! Anyway, I thought Tanith and Ben were robbed, but other than that have pretty much agreed with the judging. It still makes me sad that Jeffrey's not there.

I've got one more full week of work to go, and then we have 5 days off for Easter - I can't wait!! Todd and I are flying to Alberta on Holy Thursday evening and heading to my mom's, where we'll spend the weekend celebrating not only Easter but also my sister and my nephew's birthdays. This will be the first time in 13 years that I'll be home for Easter.

That's about it for now - check back in a couple of days for the condo pictures. Have a great week everyone!
