    Hey, welcome to Moncton! Hope you like it here. I wouldn’t like to be anywhere else.

    Congrats! Owning a home is really awesome. :) You guys are living the dream--great jobs + living in the Maritimes! ;) Hope the move goes smoothly.

    I decided to buy across the river from Parliament Hill because I was also tired to deal with a xenophobic landlord. Was a good decision too and my 4th address since I arrived in Canada :-)

    melissa: yeah, we're really insanely lucky to have the flexibility to do this. I'm so looking forward to being back out East I can hardly stand it :)

    hi, deb. (long time...)

    congrats on the house - moved 2 1/2 years ago to 2nd house in 16 years and not looking back! welcome to world of worrying about spring run off & leaky basements, did i turn off the outside taps, how do i replace a furnance filter, and moving furniture about once every 3 months for the first few years...

    Congrats... the house and garden look really great.

    Wow, Deb! That's huge. The move I mean. Maybe the house, too. We are exceedingly far apart now, geographically speaking.

    Congratulations to both of you. Can't wait to read about your adventures on that other coast.

    Nice to be near family again, though, isn't it?

    That place looks awesome! Sure going to miss you guys, though :(

    Glad to hear you're settling in. If you end up in the Valley sometime in the Spring, you'll have to swing by my parents' greenhouse operation outside of Canning--just a bit further down the road after the Daylilies place. Riverview Herbs (http://riverviewherbs.com/) is really worth a drive too! Their greenhouses smell fantastic! :D
