Juggling toads...

We're at an impasse now as far as our move is concerned.

There are so many conflicting pieces of data that we are juggling and trying to remember. I'm envious of the days where you just put your chicken and bag in a wheelbarrow and headed off to the "new world".

  • 1. I can't work in the US after August 15th, but don't have a job yet in Canada.
  • 2. Dan can't work yet in Canada, but has a job that he HAS to start by August 1st.
  • 3. We're listing our house on June 5th. Since we might not have heard from the Canadian Govt by then, this is a tad worrying. What if we sell? What if we DONT sell?
  • 4. Haven't told M's school yet about a potential move...and haven't been talking with him about it too much...but I want to start. We did get into daycare in Vancouver (and a very goodone) for July 1st. I'm hoping they'll be nice enough to let us push it back month by month if need be without charging tuition.
  • 5. Housing in Vancouver is going to be fun. We have decided to rent for the first year/6months or so until we see what is happening to the market. There's so much talk of the bubble getting ready to burst, and we don't want to get tangled up in that. So, we're looking for housing, with pets and a toddler for a tentative start day of July to September of so. Needless to say, not much luck yet.

Hi Raine,
Just had some banter with you on the Van Housing Blog. Didn't want to post email there but would be happy to have a look at Dan's resume & try to help out. Email me at: jobs (at) redengineworks (dot) com.
Cheers,
