We finally got to move into the guest house, otherwise known as the A-frame. The place is a lot bigger than I thought. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms downstairs. There is also a huge loft area upstairs that has four more beds. Its really cool. Its very rustic and woodsy. Its really nice, but it was built in the 60's so it has all of the problems of an old place - it creaks a lot at night, there are mice living in the walls, and it is quite drafty. But I like it so far. Its a little scary to be here alone at night. There is a sliding glass door and two windows that don't have curtains or anything on them. At night it is pitch black when you look out them. And of course they are in the middle of the living room where I use the computer and watch TV. It's a little creepy, but perhaps it'll toughen me up.
It was rainy out today. It makes for beautiful scenery. It also makes it quite cold.
We haven't really done much other than work. We've been working 6 days a week, which is exactly what we intended to do - make money and save money. We also spent one evening playing poker with Natalie and Stosh. I've really tried to avoid learning to play poker. I'm not really sure why, I guess just to be stubborn. Keith loves to go play. But I learned, and I'll admit it was quite fun.
Keith and I also drove into Dryden on one of our nights off and had a date night. That consisted of Chinese food and a trip to Walmart. The food was alright. I wouldn't really call it Chinese food. There wasn't a single Chinese person working there or eating there. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. And it cost us $50.
We've been making good money and saving a ton. I'm definitely glad we decided to do this. I think it will really give Keith and I the fresh financial start we need. We're having fun and getting to experience a new lifestyle. But I am getting really homesick and I'm glad we won't be living in Canada permanently. I miss my kittens so much. And I miss my bed, my new Dallas apartment and all my friends and family.
