It's Been Ten Years!

Ten years ago this past weekend, our little family moved from a northern Ontario town, all away across the country to British Columbia. Well, first my husband was out here for three months, and then the kids (there were only two then, now there are three) and I arrived. Hence we had a little celebration with a cake to mark the event! It's hard to believe how quickly the last ten years have flown by!
My husband and I went into Vancouver to pick up some Olympic event tickets, and boy is the city ever buzzing with excitement! We can hardly wait for the big event to start and be part of it in our own small way. The ticket office is located in Robson Square which has an out door skating rink. There was a huge crowd gathered around.....it was because Elizabeth Manley and Katarina Witt (1988 Olympics) were making a special appearance...how cool is that?!
Well hope you have an enjoyable week....the Olympic torch is coming through or town on the 9th, so hopefully I can get a picture of it.....Cheers!

  5. So exciting that you have tickets! which events are you going to see? i love that you celebrated your move with cake. we moved across the country to virginia ten years ago too but we didn't celebrate because it's the only home our kids know - they are 10, 8 & 5 - and i totally agree with you that the past ten years have just flown by. I try to not even think about the next ten! Have a wonderful weekend! i'll be watching the olymics tonight too.
