There's no going back now!

View from my new balcony

I can't believe it - two full days in Calgary and I'm about to sign a lease on my first Calgary residence!  I looked at (I think) 7 condos/apartments in the last two days and the one I decided on was the second one I saw.  I knew as soon as I drove into the neighborhood that I wanted to live there.  The condo itself has 6 appliances (no need to bring my microwave!), mountain views, unique layout (in a good way!) and it's close to work.  More than I was even looking for! Across the road from the complex is a professional centre - coffee, pizza, doctors, physiotherapists, massage, nail salon, flower shop...all the amenities!  I took the train from there to the office today and I'm looking at about a 30 minute commute, which is ideal.  I've ordered power (they have OPTIONS out here!) and also internet/cable...it's getting real now!

I now have two more full days here in Calgary before I head back home to Halifax to finish packing.  In my mind, I'm already trying to picture where I'm going to place my furniture in the new place.

Well, my poor body thinks it's 2am when it's really 11pm here in Calgary, so I better turn in.  Looking forward to dinner with an old friend tomorrow night and maybe another trip to Ikea during the day... a girl's gotta plan, you know!
