I met my husband in 2007 through mutual US friends of ours that were holidaying in BC. It was a whirlwind romance and I relocated to Indiana last fall where we were married and then purchased a new home and acerage. Our 'kids' currently consist of 3 cats and two horses. I love living here and am looking forward to the extended growing/gardening seasons! The climate is quite agreeable and I do not miss the several feet of snow (at the moment) that we had back in BC. We stay quite active kayaking, running, and participating in other outdoor adventures. I look forward to spending time revamping our flowerbeds this spring and starting a small garden. I do miss my friends and family back home and have been homesick off and on. We have wonderful friends here and I enjoy the hospitality of the Midwest and the kindness of people here. I went home to Canada for a visit in January and stocked up on Canadian stuff and I'm going to try to get my Mom to send something Canadian down every once in a while... something Tim Horton's!
