New Year, New Look!

Today marks the 365th day for my goals!! Which means I am more than a third of the way through my time to complete all these goals, and I am definitely not one-third of the way through the goals. I need to get to work!

In the past few months I have been posting, which has really made me focus on completing my goals more.  That is the primary intention of this blog. However, another intention of the blog was also so that I could communicate the going's-on of my life with friends and family that do not live close enough to actually see what we are doing. One thing I have realized is that since I never post on any type of schedule it would be frustrating to try to follow this blog. So... I have a new plan! Each week I am going to post on Thursday nights the round-up of all goals I have completed that week. This way people can read the posts as they like and don't have to waste time checking to see if a new post is up. Let's see how it goes!

In other news, we made progress on a goal!

Goal 29. Move - Part 2

Well I'm calling it! We have officially moved in. We don't yet have all the boxes unpacked, we still get our mail forwarded and I just got a Jury Summons from Victoria (which I cancelled! Yes!), but we are here permanently. In fact, I did my first grocery shop!


Here are some photos from our trip here and getting settled.

Goal 7: Symphony Splash 2011

This past weekend, in amongst wedding plans for my sisters wedding (in 2 days!!!) we went to Symphony Splash. Symphony Splash is this great free event that happens in Victoria, BC every year on the August Long Weekend.

The Victoria Symphony plays a free show, while set up on a barge. The traditional climatic end is the 1812 Overture complete with real canons and fireworks at the end. It's pretty spectacular. They often feature a local band in the afternoon before the symphony. This year it was the TimeBenders, who played popular music from the 50's right up to Lady Gaga. They were also pretty spectacular.

We had great seats on the Legislature Lawn and a bunch of friends and family around. It was a great afternoon, and a great way to end our time in Victoria. We will miss you!

Lots 'n' lots of Goals!!

Since my last update I have done a lot of Goals work! Here is what has been going on in the past two weeks.

Goal 17. Use Ticketmaster Tickets - completed!
    While in Edmonton we went to Cirque du Soleil's DRALION. It was my very first Cirque experience and was spectacular. I was also happy because we have had these tickets for a long time and we finally got to use them. We had a great night out with my parents, sister and her fiancé.

Goal 29. Move - Part 1

Well, we've done it! We have left BC!! Wahoo!
