Back to work at last

Guess what? Gareth is working again at last! It feels good to go back to work at a real office job again, after a longer-than-expected hiatus (over 7 months). As some of you may know, our time spent in Canada so far has had a significant number of challenges. It isn't cheap to live here in Calgary, and often we didn't know where our provision was coming from. But on the positive side I was able to spend some of that time at home with Fiona and Vivian, helping my parents get settled into their new condo, and doing a number of repairs on the old family home. There are always some things to be thankful for amidst our difficulties.
At any rate, we are on to the next chapter. Now it seems like our life can finally begin to settle down into something normal. And the job seems very promising too. I'll be doing some writing and editing and other communications-related work for a growing Internet banking company. Looks like some good potential and a bright future there.
Thanks for all of you who shared encouragement, advice, job leads, introductions, resume revision tips, networking tips, money, free stuff, freelance editing work, prayers and other help along the way. Often I was surprised at where the help came from.
Now we will be gearing up for our summer guests: Vivian's mum, sister and two nieces will be joining us at the end of June. Best wishes for the coming summer everyone.
