I am generally not a procrastinator, but on this issue... it's time to do it!! After 5 years of being in Canada it's time!!!.... yes I am talking about my drivers licence. May 9th is the big day... 3.15pm PDT. Am I scared?, a little... but considering I have been driving since I was 16 how hard can it be right? well considering I now drive on the other side of the road and the other side of the car, not to mention parallel parking the opposite way, oh yes and then there is the, *you can go on a red light here in certain situations*, 4 way stops (they don't like roundabouts in Canada, too scarey for them lol) it's been quite the adjustment. Thankfully, because I hold a licence from another country and have more than 2 years driving experience, I do not have to do the graduated driving program here. I basically sat and passed my knowledge and was given a driving permit to practice on, as long as I had another licensed driver in the car with me.

I really want to try and have my licence before the wedding, as with so much running around to do, I don't want to have to be relying on people all the time to go with me, not to mention even just going to get groceries, or wanting to go somewhere spur of the moment right now is just a hassle. So wish me luck and lots of good thoughts! And if I don't pass, then just have to keep trying until I do, although at $50 a shot it could get costly :o(


It is the most gorgeous day here in Vancouver, spring is fully here with the long hours of daylight and temps in the high teens/low 20's the last few days. I am taking advantage and wearing my new spring clothes and sandals.... I look oh so cute in pink and white day.. hehe


Wedding plans are rolling along and with 7 weeks to go, my excitement level is continuing to build. 6 weeks till my friends and family arrive now. Dance lessons continue this evening with the introduction of the triple step Jive, eeek! I just mastered the two step.... should be a laugh nonetheless. Well must stop blogging at work and get back to it... Good luck to the Crusaders! and all the Kiwi teams in the Super 12 this week, although I see the Canes lost.... poop I think I picked them in my Super 12. Sorry Jude :(
