Haven't posted a blog in a while so figure I'd fill ya'll in on what I've been up to.
I'm staying with Todd and Nicole (friends from Toronto). They have been amazing - they opened up their lovely home and have done sooo much to make me feel comfortable and 'at home'.
I told Nicole when came here that I was either going to move to Calgary or Vancouver (at the time I was leaning towards Calgary). She made it a personal mission to persuade me that Vancouver was the place to be.
I made Sunday D-day. Today was the day that I was going to decide where I was to setup shop.
I woke up late - went for a great run along Kitsalano Beach. The beach was great - beautiful people everywhere, gorgeous mountains as a backdrop and great ocean. I liked it so much that I came back later and went for a 2 hour stroll down the beach.
After staring at the sailboats, beautiful woman and. The dogs playing in the water I knew... That Vancouver was where I belong.
I love Calgary - the people are incredible, the mountains are spectacular and the shot-girls at Cowboys' want to have my babies. Dispite all of this I think Vancouver is going to be where I plant my roots - for now.
I'm not sure how the next little while will go, I need to find both a job and an apartment ASAP, from there I have no idea what will happen...
Tomorrow I begin 'working' to find work and a new home. The carefree attitude I've had will be replaced by the stress of no money, no job and only a carload of posessions.
At the same time I'm excited... I closed the last chapter of my life with one of the rad'est trips ever - with the best friends I could ever ask for. I don't know what this next chapter will hold - but I'm excited as hell to find out.
To my Toronto friends and family I want to tell you all how much I love you guys, your smiles, jokes and support is what made my time in Toronto amazing. I am everything I am today because of you (not sure if that's good or bad).
I expect all of you to come visit me in my new home.

It's going to be crazy here without you! Who will plan all the climbing trips? I guess it's settled... from now on, all of our climbing trips will just have to be in Vancouver! Good luck with the apartment/job hunting!!
Best of Luck dude. It's sad for us to "lose" another friend to the wild west.
Will definitely come out to visit!
Who would want to come back to On-terrible anyway?
You're making the right choice hun - and you will out live us all.
SO happy for you. Kisses from Toronto..

...as with all passings, I am filled with joy and sadness. K-dog you have no idea how much you will be missed. You are a rare and infectious individual who brings so many people together...to talk about penises. To quote Sting "there's a hole...in my life".
Congrats and all the best.
Colin
PS My flag is at half mast for you baby.
Kev, you really are an inspiration. I hope everything out there goes superbly well for you, and beyond all expectations. Clearly you're already missed (though I must say, had no idea you and Colin were so close - penises at half mast?! ;)
Best of luck, mate. Hope to see you on the mountain some day (soon!).
The mountains is where you belong Kev! Glad you took this time to leave and pursue something you wanted to do for so long! Although I don't think Chew would like it so much in Vancouver. Again can I have her? The best of luck to you
