Not much new here. Still like my job though! And I got a new office that's bigger, and has a view of the CN Tower peeking out from behind another building. Since we're on the 15th floor, it's pretty windy, so when it snows it looks like a regular blizzard out there. Kinda cool! The commute is getting long. I miss the Chicago trains that are mostly above ground until you get downtown. You get a good sense of the neighborhoods you are passing through. But it's probably less hassle for everyone else if the train is underground! Here the subway only peeks out twice briefly, before diving back underground. Probably a good thing cause it makes me read. People regularly eat and drink (coffee, usually) on the subway here.
AAhh who knew I would end up living in Canada? Sometimes I still find it hard to believe. Like every time I type "fiber" into my notes at work and the computer corrects me because it's really spelled "fibre". What?!?!?! And "centre" and "colour". Gah. I also really miss Reggaeton, the Puerto Rican music so popular in Chicago.

Home for New Year!
Me and my man. One of the few pictures in which he is not purposely making a weird face.
Frosty Fauna, somewhere in Michigan.
Crossing the Wabash River on the Wabash Cannonball Bridge, which used to be a train bridge. You have to pay a $.50 toll if you're going from Illinois into Indiana, but on the way back it's free. No this is not the only way to my parent's house, ;P but we think it's fun.
Our family picture. We were all freeeeezing, so instead of try for a better picture, we said good enough and ran inside!
Dave.
John, holding one of the hugest, fluffiest, friendliest cats I've ever known.
Paula and Adam.

I am looking for my camera. I have been wanting to post with some new pictures from Christmas and New Year but can't seem to get it together. I started my new job yesterday, and it's going pretty well. It's going to be a challenge with the long commute, but I like the job so far! I'm going to have an office with a window on the 15th floor downtown! Wow, I feel important.
