News!
I was gonna wait until all the letters were dotted and all so as not to jinx this but I wanna spill the beans-I am moving back to Canada!
My roomate Alex and I decided in January 2009 that we would begin plans to move and now we are finally doing it I am leaving in June.
We are moving to Guelph, Ontario chosen because its cheaper to rent than Toronto and is not too far from where my Grandmother lives and close to Waterloo which is where I used to live.
I am very nervous but also very exited and will let you guys know how it goes.

I really do like it down there its a nice town with cheaper rents than Toronto but close enough that I can still go up there. Its also close to Kitchener where I still have a couple of friends. I am leaving June 7th.

Welcome back in Canada ! I'm sure that you'll find work very soon. Did you have arrangements for a flat before leaving or are you squatting a room somewhere ?

Ben, what are you doing Thursday? I'll be up there, at the Toronto FC game. Should be heading up that way Wednesday.
You should come man, TFC games are the best! Let me know, I can get you a ticket in the supporters section, should be around $20-$30.

This will be my last trip up until September/October at the earliest. Off to Europe, wanted to get one last game in before leaving.
But yeah man, let me know. Didn't realize it was Canada Day, going to be even more fun!
