I was recently offered a job up in Calgary, Alberta and although I love living in Arizona, we couldn’t pass up the chance for a new change of scenery. The company offered me a moving bonus as well as one of the finest places to live amongst the furnished Calgary apartments in the area.
We also got Calgary Flame jerseys with our names on the backs of them and are really looking forward to catching some Canadian NHL hockey. I know how Canadian fans get and the place is going to be rocking. My brother lives in Edmonton so that was another major factor in our decision to move up there. We visited last November and although it was really cold we loved the seasons and scenery up there in Canada.
We are working on getting our passports up to date and finalizing our moving arrangements right now and I am flying up for my first meeting with the team next Monday. It should be an exciting time for us and we couldn’t be happier. The job contract is for a year with the ability to stay on as long as I want so it allows us the flexibility to leave after a year if we do not adjust to the culture/weather right away. I have a feeling this could be our new permanent home fingers crossed.
