We made it!

Fun Canadianism of the day....they call tennis shoes "runners".

We've been in Vancouver for 3 days now and things are going pretty well.  Other than missing our friends, family, the comforts of our "home" and some minor culture shock, we're doing fairly well.  

While here, we've been staying with a wonderful couple named James and Anna.  They have been wonderful hosts and have been very kind to us since we've been here.  They are a super fun couple and we've really enjoyed getting to know them!

We found a place to live!  Once I decorate it and make it more of a home, I'll post some pictures.  It's a one bedroom basement suite in a GREAT part of town.  It is partially furnished which is great! We can walk to the grocery store, some produce stands, lots of shops and even to the beach (don't get too excited, it's no Wrightsville Beach or even a Carolina Beach, but it's still nice to see some water and sand)  Our landlady is originally from Malaysia and is super sweet! She gave us several maps of the area with highlighted routes to IKEA, Walmart, and some other great places.  She even invited us out for dinner this coming Saturday with her and a former tenant of hers who was also a student at Regent.  We are eating at a dim sum type restaurant and chicken feet was mentioned in the conversation, so we'll let you know how that adventure goes...

Please feel free to send Matt or I an email or FB message!  We'd love to here how all of y'all are doing back home!!  We also have skype too! So if anyone wants to skype with us let us know!
