We have arrived!!

After a two and a half hour scenic flight through the snow covered mountains, we arrived in our new hometown of Whitehorse, Yukon. The mountains around us are beautiful; and the air is so crisp and clear! My friend Dylan met us at the airport and once our bags and Cortez were collected we made our way to our new (temporary) home; the High Country Inn. We got ourselves sorted and then headed out for a tour of the town. We drove to all four courners of Whitehorse, the local ski resort Mt. Sima and then to the hotsprings. We checked out the local recreation centre which is absoultely amazing! For dinner we ate the deck, a local pub which is conveniently located downstairs. We enjoyed some grub, took Cortez for a walk to the Yukon River, and then passed out from pure exhaustion (after waiting to see what time the sun would actually set-FYI it was 10pm).
Today we both started our new jobs and everything went quite well. It was a lot to take in but I am sure that we will be in the swing of things in no time. We had dinner at the local sushi restaurant which was delicious but CRAZY expensive!! We went for a little walk with the dog and are now getting ready for bed. We are going on an Aurora Borealis tour on Saturday from 10pm-3am to see the Northern Lights. We are going to be heading ourside of the city and hanging out in a big heated tepee from what I'm told. We are looking forward to it and will post pictures! Will try to write again soon! We will post pictures soon, our internet connection is really bad and is taking too long to upload them now!

Adieu

Our plane departs in 3 hours for Whitehorse...
So long BC; it's been a slice!

Until we meet again. . .

Ken and I depart tomorrow for our next grand adventure. . . we are moving to Whitehorse! We are packed (almost) and ready for our Northern escapade, although the fact that we are moving hasn't seemed to hit quite yet. We have said many tearful goodbyes and my stress levels are through the roof. I am certain that we have forgotten something important we should have done, but hopefully not. While I am excited to start this new chapter in our life and explore one of Canada's most beautiful locations, I am unsure if I am truly ready to handle the 50 below temperatures that Whitehorse promises. Ken and I have had the opportunity to live in some of the most amazing and scenic places Cananda has to offer such as Ottawa, Kananaskis, Whistler, Tofino, Vancouver and now-Whitehorse. We are truly lucky to be given these oportunities and for that, we are both thankful. We will certainly miss our families and friends (both old and new), but assure you all we will not forget you....and this is not goodbye, merely until next time! We will try our very best to keep our blog up to date and post as many pictures as possible. While you are walking around in April in shorts, tshirts and flip flops; think of us bundled up in our parkas, living in our igloo with Cortez and Snowball (our pet polar bear). After all, that is what the Great North is all about isn't it????

Mr. & Mrs. Edwards

Welcome to our blog! I am sure that many of you are surprised to see that we are doing this as neither of us are good at keeping in touch. We are hoping that blogging will help us alleviate that problem and allow you to find out whats going on in our lives! We will try our very best to keep it current (although we can make no promises). We hope you enjoy our space and look forward to our attempt to keep you informed.

Tomorrow marks the date of our one year wedding anniversary! We cannot believe that only a short year ago we were standing in front of a crowd of our closest family and friends declaring our love for one another. It is hard to believe how fast the time passes; although we both admit that some days it feels as though we have been married for a lifetime. We have adjusted very well to married life and are happy to announce that every day we fall further and further into love with each other-how's that for cheesy! To all our friends and family, may your lives be filled with love and happiness. We have quickly learned that once you have those things, you have everything.
