Week 1 in Vancouver

So we've officially been in Vancouver for 1 week now. This week with Sam at work has been kind of hard on me, I really struggle to fill my days. I am spending a lot of time online job hunting, then I try to run some errands, then in the afternoons I take Marley on his daily walk. I haven't had much luck with finding a job, I did sign up to volunteer for the olympics but I think you need to be able to give them a few months of your time and if I do find a job I might not be able to commit. I'm close to just going and applying at some retail boutiques around here, at least that way we could make some friends fast I hope! ha. I don't want to work weekends but I need to do something with my time. The weather hasn't been too bad actually, today is sunny and warm but the forecast just said it'll be snowy and rainy all weekend and in the 30's! BOO!!

One night this week Sam and I wandered down to a local pub to watch the Canuck's hockey game and at 9:30 it turned into Comedy Night. It was funny at times, I enjoy laughing at awkwardness either way, ha. We had our cable/internet/phone installed this week, I try to keep the TV off though because if I turn it on I'm likely to not leave the couch all day. I took a walk the other day and ended up in this little sushi restaurant for some of the best sushi I've ever had and it was super cheap! After that I treated myself to a pedicure and had a hilarious conversation with the nail lady - I enjoy any sort of conversation I can get during the day when Sam's at work, haha. I don't feel fully homesick but some days are worse than others. I'm just glad I have my husband and my dog with me! Marley really does keep me occupied during the day, he seems to be adjusting really well. He's napping in the sun as we speak. This is such a beautiful city, I feel really lucky to live here if only for a year.

K, time to get out of the house, even if just to sit at a coffee shop on the internet! Happy Friday y'all!
