January
is over.. Quite a few things have happened. The major points are
- Working permits are obtained. It took a bunch of calls, emails and a few meetings before we went to the American border, got a stamp and changed our statuses to Temporary residents and changed from visitor visas to Working visas. Now we are legal, working residents in Canada.
- Began the process to obtain Permanent Residency. A time consuming process with lots of forms and letters to be gathered from all over the world. One example is that I need to get Criminal Record Checks from Sweden, USA and Australia..
- Pernilla's U-21 team decided to give younger girls the chance to play and she is currently practicing with another team who plays at a higher level. Neither of us is assisting the team with coaching anymore. This also means the team will not play in Gothia Cup, and we expect friends to visit us in Kelowna this year!!
- Jan has more and more hours of work. We are very confident the future will bring tons of opportunities and I am keeping busy almost every day. This includes daytime work at school's soccer academies.
- We have been invited to a wedding in Lake Tahoe and another one in Kelowna.
- Booked a trip to San Diego, where I will surprise P with the best delayed X-mas present ever ;). Feel free to help P figure this present out!
- Been boarding quite a few days! The conditions are great!
- Found out that we most likely can stay in the house after our landlords return from Hawaii. The only thing we have to do is to move downstairs, into the suite! Great news!
- Finishing the weirdest and toughest day with a purchase P has longed for since.... I dont even know when. Guess what it was? It begins with a B and ends with iaga....
Weather varies, some days we have 5-8 degrees Celsius, while some other days it is - 12 Degrees. No snow in Kelowna, tons of snow in the two nearby mountains!
So long!
