Well for those who are unaware, recently Jeremiah and I have made the big move to TO. After a couple years of trying to figure out where to go, Jeremiah has decided to attend Wycliffe College for his Master's Degree in Religion. So it was with excitement and with much sadness we left our humble beautiful abode & family in the rolling hills and prairies, to head out east. (Though thankfully for us we have good friends Andrew & Halyne with us, and they drove out with us too).
We have been here just over a month now. It feels longer though in a way. Jeremiah is busy with school and I am currently waiting for my nursing registration to come through so I can job hunt. I can tell that I clearly have time on my hands because our place is usually quite clean, including the dishes...(something that can be rare when I am busy), as well as I have found myself reading some of Jeremiah's textbook on Christian History. I would have never imagined I could be in a conversation where terms like Monophysite, Nestorian or Zoroastrian would be thrown about, but in reality I have found that learning about my religion's history, is actually quite fascinating.
Toronto is quite the place. I have enjoyed being surrounded by many cultures. We live in the heart of "Greektown" so there are many restaurants and variety stores nearby with a Greek flavour. Once Jeremiah masters biblical greek, he will have to learn modern Greek to truly embrace this area. The old buildings are amazing as well, not excluding Wycliffe College, which celebrated its 133rd year on Sunday.
I miss everyone though, and am definitely glad for skype and I am anticipating my sister & mom's visit very soon. If anyone feels like a trip to TO, please let me know. We have an even more humble abode here, but would be glad to house anyone willing to stay with us.
I want to embrace my blog again, something I always try to do, then fail at doing. But I figure my blog is forgiving and will always welcome me back. I will link posts on facebook, so please feel free to have a read.
P.S. I am not convinced about milk in a bag. A Toronto friend here tries to stick up for it, but I have yet to be convinced. Please send me your thoughts. Oh also HST... not a big fan ;)

I love milk in a bag! Takes up less space in the fridge, you can store more at a time, and you only open a liter at a time, so it doesn't end up tasting like fridge. AND, less waste :) One must first master the corner cutting and pouring techniques, then the true bond will be formed!
Hip HIp hooray! Welcome back! I love the new look to your blog and this post was great.
I miss blogging. Mine is "full" so I'm stuck for the moment. :o(
After 5 years in Toronto, I'm not convinced about milk in a bag either. It's way cheaper but we stopped buying it - mostly because we just don't drink that much milk and it seemed silly to buy it 4 litres at a time.
