Wow how I love my new LIFE!!!!!!!!!

I just can't believe how much we have achieved since we landed here in the Okanagan......
We have bothe got jobs that we are enjoying, the 2 younger boys are settled into school and making lots of friends, the oldest one who is 18 as started work and he is enjoying working for a living!!!!! We have bourght a house and a car!!!

We have today been out and booked our skiing and board lessons not that this is something I am looking forward to but with all the ski hill around here it is something I am going to have to give a try!!!!

Christmas..

We have got or Christmas tree, we printed off a permit fromm the computer and we all went up into the hills to hunt out the best christmas tree!!!! By the time we got there all the best trees had been taken! We got a tree after alot of trecking to find one it is a little bit spindly but it loos very nice with all our christmas decs on.

The shopping here for christmas presents is very differant to the UK not as many good shops here in the Okanagan, I do miss M&S and John Lewis for christmas shopping! I also miss my friend Sarah who I used to go and do all my christmas shopping with!

It is going to be very strange not being able to see family and friends at christmas time.

First Snow Fall!

Yesterday morning we had our first snowfall we have had snow on the hills but this was where we live, it didn't settle for long but it was good to see. So the snow is coming at long last!!!! The boys can't wait to start using thier snowboards and get on those mountains!
I am so worried about driving in the snow although we have snow tyres on the car it still scares me!!!!

Halloween!

We have decorated the house for Halloween and tonight we are carving out pumpkins ready for Friday night they are looking very impressive if I say so myself!!!!
This will be our first Halloween I am hoping we have enough candy! The Canadians really do Halloween in a big way

Winter Tyres!

Well today we have had winter tyres fitted to our car at a cost of $731. so no slipping and sliding in the snow for us!!! Putting winter tyres on the car is something very new to us. So all we need now is some snow!

First Sign of SNOW

We have spotterd the first signs of snow, hubby and me have been checking the mountain tops every morning on the way to work. But it was our 15 year old that spotted it on the way to school!!! There is snow on the top of those mountains!!!!!!!

School Concert.......

Tonight we have been to our youngest son’s first concert at school all the kids did great since they have only been learning their instruments for 4 weeks!!!
After getting feed back from both the schools my boys go to I am so pleased we have made the move over here. The way of teaching here seems to suit both our boys they are both doing great!!!
The boys have really settled into Canadian school life great they are making great friends; the youngest one had his first sleepover at a friend’s the other night! He is also going trick or treating with friends.
WE LOVE OUR NEW LIFE!!!!
