Ahh yes...we are heading back to Edmonton! Soon. Hopefully. Well Matt is leaving in 2 weeks. Damn.
We lived in Edmonton for about two and a half years- from 2008-2011 for Matt's job. Living in Edmonton was a total culture shock for me. I went from living in rural(ish) Ontario for 22 years to living in the NE of a major Canadian city...with the highest murder rate in Canada. In 2009, Edmonton finally beat out Regina for most murders per capita. Woo! Win. In 2011 we moved back to Ontario and we are currently living in Ottawa. In the last two years I worked on a pastry degree at Cordon Bleu and finished a master's degree at U Ottawa. All that hard earned money I made in Edmonton as a public servant went directly school.
This past April, Matt received word that he was being posted to Edmonton and that we would be moved this summer. We immediately put our house up for sale and were confident that it would sell quickly. Heck, we think it's pretty great, everyone else must as well! It did not sell quickly. 3 months later, we are still waiting for that right person to buy our house. So, while we wait for the house to sell, Matt is heading out to Edmonton and I will stay in Ottawa until the house sells! I am not above kidnapping or hostage taking to force potential buyers to put an offer on the house. For anyone that is interested, here is our house! Buy it! You know you want to:
