This week saw our first "official" visitor at our new home: Tara (Dave's sister) was in town this week for work, and stayed in our guest room: giving us a chance for a brief but fun visit. We all went to the "Talisman Centre" on Wednesday night: showing Tara where we've been working out for the past few weeks: swimming, weight training, and generally just enjoying the "athletic" atmosphere (http://www.talismancentre.com/ ). Last night we had a BBQ in our backyard: hosting a few friends to try out our newly stained deck and of course, some Brewin burgers. Sadly, Tara was off to the airport this morning, but not before treating us to breakfast at "White Spot"--a Western tradition that we've finally experienced after several failed attempts. It was so nice to have a familiar face here to visit for the past few days--great to be able to "show off" our new place, and having family here definitely made it feel a little more like home. We're looking forward to having Tara again in a few months when she returns for work. In the meantime, we'd love to have visitors any time: we already have Jim and Andrea, Karen and Blair and Rob ("Budi") booked for August long weekend (sharing accomodations with Harman and Shandra), the Jacksons (Dan and Joyce) are coming September 14-24th, and the Brewins (Sue and Barrie) are scheduled for early October. It feels so great to have a home that we can host people in, and we feel so blessed to have so many people in our lives eager to make the trek out west for a visit.
