Made it back to Ottawa

Wow, it's been a long time since we posted! I figured we should let everyone know that we've made it back to the centre of Canadian politics - that's right Ottawa. We've uploaded a picture album of our return but haven't done much online for a few weeks (expect signing up for facebook - I'm still intrigued by it...that may fade though). Marie-Claude has been in full schmooze mode with getting a new job with the government. Everything looks like it's set on that front - she'll most likely be starting next week at a new job. I'll let her elaborate.

In the meantime we have been catching up with many friends, staying with some (thank you Andrew and Kate!) and finding an apartment. We just moved into a flat a couple weeks ago in our old hood. It's even with our old landlord....strange. It's not as nice as the flat we had with him before, but it'll do. MC and I are thinking of house hunting in the not-so-distant future so this is good for us. I've also been testing out the IT job market here in Ottawa. I've seen some good opportunity so I'm pretty hopeful. I hope to pick something up soon so I don't have to be the stay-at-home cat sitter. Henri is demanding.

So, here are some plans for the future for this blog:
- it will be renamed again (hey it has to, we are back in the O-T-T-A-W-A hood)
- I will be pushing MC to start blogging again. What can I say, she has had critical acclaim for her insightful stories and blog entries.
- We'll be keeping it real as can be, but interesting - basically that means don't expect a post every day. Maybe every week. Even that's a stretch. Hey, we're busy people, what do you say we see how it goes. Quality requires a little time. Add us to your 'weekly website peruses'.
