The weather yesterday reached 19 degrees. Yes, you read that right, 19. I couldn't believe it - the day was absolutely gorgeous, the sun was shining, the birds were singing when I woke up in the morning, all around it was just a good day. Today I wake up and it is -2. Sigh. That said however, I don't miss living in the Prairies one bit!

When I first moved here, and even up until relatively recently, I missed Edmonton a fair amount. There are things I didn't miss, like the cold winters, and being away from my family, but I did miss my Edmonton friends, and being in a big city where there is lots to do. Since then, I have put down some really strong "roots" here in the Okanagan, and I honestly can't imagine moving again. I have moved a lot since I first moved out at 19, I think 8 or 9 times, and I am fairly content to stay in one place for a while, and build up a nice home base. I have got a fantastic relationship (Muffin!) and started to build some great friendships here (Michelle & Ash, Gillian, Pam & Einar, Baze & Jen, I'm sure I'm forgetting someone) and it is really starting to feel like Penticton is home.

In other news, if you have some cash to spare, and you love your skin, you really do have to try this. I just got it in the mail, and tried it last night, and ohmy! it is probably the best skin care product I have ever used on my face. I also bought a lip exfoliator from them, and a bronzer, both of which I am more than happy with. I think I have a new addiction. :)
