Back Home and Moving Forward

I've been home from my trip for a week and a half now. It was a good trip. I saw some really beautiful things and got a taste of some wonderful cities. Maybe one day I can enjoy more than just a taste.



Summer is here and it makes me so happy. The heat is off and the windows are open (and, unfortunately, the motorcycles are roaring past). There are flowers on my balcony and I spend much time out there. I can step out of the house without a coat on or without one ready to be put on should the need arise. The downtown farmer's market is in full swing. Soon, Churchill Square will have regular weekend events. Just the knowledge that summer is here makes me smile, maybe even giggle a bit. Edmonton is wonderful in the summer.



I am back at work answering phones. The new office is pretty nice, though still in need of some putting together. There are a number of new faces. I enjoy working there and the days fly by. The plan was to start my articling there and then move to the other rotations starting in the fall. However, things have changed and I am now going to Drayton Valley for June 2nd. I was disappointed at first not to be spending the summer months in the city, but I have adjusted my attitude. And I plan on coming back on the weekends. I have a steep learning curve waiting for me in DV so it might be best to get that done and over with. Also, I have old friends in DV that will be great to catch up with. I am looking forward to it in some ways. My parents have a deck waiting for me there too.
