So its been just over a year since we made the move to Edmonton from England and its been more up and down than we could of imagined.
The pros have been exploring the Rockies, getting do things that we would have never done had we stayed in the UK and having alot of place we waned to visit just a short flight away. Plus the health benefits and less hours at work means I am now injury free and able to spend alot more time with the family
The biggest negative though we underestimated how difficult it can be to meet new people out here surprisingly, luckily we came over with a few other families so we haven't been totally on our own but we haven't really branched out from that
For the most part were happy we made the move, but I'll admit now we were no where near prepared enough to start.

It's only been a year and I imagine it has been a whirlwind year starting a new life. I'm sure you'll make friends over time.
If not then wait a year and hopefully I'll be there and I can be your friend haha.
