Moving my life to Kelowna!

That weekend I got all of my worldly possessions in a Uhaul to drive up to Kelowna. My stuff was finally out of Housesitting 1 so they could have more space. I don't have a ton of stuff and loading went quite quickly. It was raining quite a bit and I was worried that the mountain passes were going to be ugly on the roads and I needed to get to my storage locker before 4pm. I had already organized and paid for this before the housesit and didn't know what kind of set up Chris had so it was just easiest to put it in storage.

My friend, Marcia, kindly offered to ride up with me and then unload everything. As we crossed the toll bridge which is just over halfway, we drove under a rainbow and into the sun. The roads were totally clear and my good luck was just continuing and we just made it to the storage locker in time. We were quite tired once we unloaded and got some dinner. Then, it was time to see where I would be living.

My luck just got even better!!!! The house is on a hill with a view of the lake and city. It's huge - around 5000 sq ft so no problems with running into his father. It's like a bachelor heaven. It's got the big hottub, pool table, pinball machines, big screen TV with more DVDs than anyone needs, the big deck with BBQ. He also has a leather lounge chair that massages, heats and the arm of the chair opens up to have drink holders with a cooling system in it. It's ridiculous, but very great. Chris is going to Europe until August!!! That's right. I'm in this beautiful, big house until August and all he wants is maybe some utilities covered!!! I couldn't believe this. Once I get up there, I'll post some pics. There's obviously more than enough room for visitors too. Given my luck I have bought a couple of lottery tickets, but not so lucky there yet :).

Oh yeah, about the guy. Good looking, energetic, friendly, smart etc, but too urban for me. He was mentioning which gym had the best machines with TVs in them. He was being helpful, but it's just not me. I need more of an outdoorsy guy, but hopefully, I have another friend in him in Kelowna.
