4 Years in Nova Scotia
Tomorrow will be our 4th Canniversary here in Nova Scotia.
As a family, we all settled in really quickly here and none of us has suffered homesickness which is fab.
Kids doing well (now 16 and 20). Mr Cookie still working hard at the same job and I am really enjoying my career change. Now over 2.5 years working in mental health, and after starting as a casual, then bagging 3 separate contract positions, I finally managed to be awarded a permanent position. So pleased, because they rarely come up and competition is stiff.
Been home twice. Last time was in November. Great to catch up with everyone, enjoy the fab shopping and food choices but was happy to head back home to my small piece of Nova Scotia - one the friendliest places in the world.

Re: 4 Years in Nova Scotia
Thanks everyone
Finally got round to applying for citizenship this week so it looks like the summer of 2012 will be when we become dual nationality.
