Lots of visits and pics of Dawson Creek

Here are some pics of Dawson Creek!

So, I have officially graduated twice now and am a real teacher! (will post the pics once Jessie sends them to me) Yeah! I even have my actual teaching certificate and education degree to prove it! This is good news, because I just applied for a job in Dawson Creek. It's a .60 posting at an elementary school, which means it's only three days a week. One day in an intermediate french class, one teaching technology and one teaching immersion kindergarten. It's not high school, but it would be a good start for me I think, and would guarantee that I have something to do in Dawson Creek, as I know Mike will be super busy. However, he was told that he'd be working 4 days on 4 days off, which will be nice, because even though he'll be very busy while he's working, at least we'll have some time off together every week.

I've just said good-bye to my friend Myana, who was here visiting since Monday. It's so nice to have friends come and visit me, and I'm looking forward to seeing Jenn again in two weeks and to the girls night that we are planning. I'm so excited! And, in only 24 more sleeps, I will be going to Regina to see Mike! I almost can't believe that it's finally time for us to move and start our careers and live in the same place again! I'm really looking forward to it though. I think it's going to be a fun adventure.

I'm also excited because I just saw the new Harry Potter movie preview with Myana, (we went to see Shrek the 3rd) and I also just watched a preview for the movie The Golden Compass, which is based on one of my favourite books by Phillip Pullman. If you haven't read it, you should before December when the movie comes out. The preview looks really good too, they have Nicole Kidman playing Mrs Coulter, the villain, and I think she actually fits the character perfectly. Daniel Craig (007) is also in it. Speaking of books, Myana and I went bookstore shopping while she was here, since there isn't any other type of shopping you can really do. We went to the two usuals on Johnston, but we also discovered two stores that I've never been in that were just lovely. One called Queen Bee and the other is called Literati books. The latter is a cute little second hand shop with very nice used books and the Queen Bee has a lot of fantasy type stuff and fairies hanging from the ceiling, and the lady that works there gives you a tarot card instead of a bookmark.

So, it was a fun few days, although we would have liked to go to the beach for a swim. The weather has been pretty crappy and cold though, so I hope it warms up before I have to leave! i need to have a few swim days in Sproat Lake before I move to the cold north!

Hope to see many of you before I move away (Keep July 19th open in Victoria for a possible going away/welcome back Mike party! Also, it's our anniversary that day!
