Winnipeg, Weddings, Mosquitoes, Old Cameras, and Large Investments
We (myself, Jenn, and her parents) spent the long weekend and then some in Winnipeg for Jenn's cousin's wedding, in case I forgot to mention it.
A lot of that time was spent on the road. We drove to Yorkton on Thursday, where we stayed the night, and in the morning Jenn and I took a short drive up to see my grandparents' old house, where my dad grew up. It looked just as a I remembered it.
We got into Winnipeg on Friday afternoon and unloaded the car at Jenn's aunt & uncle's place, then Jenn and I headed off to Osbourne Village to wander, shop, and eat.
( More on Winnipeg and Weddings and Mosquitoes )( More on Old Cameras )Jenn and I are starting our house-shopping this Sunday. It's hard to believe we're going ahead with this, it's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. But we've found some really nice houses in our price range on MLS recently and figured we should start the ball rolling in case any of them end up working out for us.
It's weird to think, it wasn't that long ago for me that I quit what had become a horrible sinking ship of a job, was flying halfway across the world (after busing across a quarter of it), wondering what to do with myself and making myself broke in the process. Now I have a decent job that I don't hate, a lovely lady who I will marry, and I'm about to wade into the biggest investment that most people ever make in their lives, and settle into someplace we can call our own home.
It's just amazing what can happen in just four years and change.
