I'm in Calgary. Temps in the mid 20s is great bit weird.

Crazy weather in Calgary... I got here and wondered where the snow was. The rumor is I won't be wondering long, because It'll probably fall this weekend.

The day I got here it was Chinooking and I had a horrendous headache for two days. But now I'm used to thin, dry air and have my lotion and saline spray regimen down. Also getting used to the 'big city' again and remember where and what to avoid during rush hours. It's nice we are in the SW in Shawnessy, if we lived in the core I would probably lose my mind!

I've been stupid busy going through stuff and tossing and what not. I shredded 3 bags full of old documents etc that weren't needed. And found bunches of credit card and bank statements from all our times together over the past seven years. My husband only let me keep them "'Cause we might need them for immigration" We really don't, but I want to keep them anyway :P

Congratulations to case completes, fees paid, packages sent, interviews scheduled and anything else I may have missed since last week!

When you email the documents, do you have to carry the original documents to the interview?

Yes. All original documents have to go to interview with you. They want to see the marriage/birth certificates and they keep the original police certificates, and AOS documents.

I emailed our realtor in So. California to tell him I didn't want to move anymore as our weather was warmer, then he reminded me of January. :lol:

How long are you in Calgary, we should both take a break from sorting and meet for coffee. I'm just the other side of MacLeod.

I'm going to say don't be too nervous but I don't think that will work. I was so nervous, I couldn't remember what my husband's employer did which was a tad important for my interview.
