It’s been a little over a month…
Not to get all mushy, but damn! Canada is a beautiful country. When we chose Calgary, I though we were making a trade-off between a reasonable cost of living and beauty. Yet somehow we now find ourselves living in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Continue reading “It’s been a little over a month…”
