Married life in the burg/graduation/moving to canada

So after we got married Brandon and I both needed one more semester to finish our degrees his bachelors and my associates - we had decided to move to canada afetr he finished school because of the great oppertunity for jobs in what he wanted to do...trading for an oil company. I was excited about a new adventure in life and was totally up for it. I remember that being one of the hardest semesters for me. id gone non stop to school with no break since i graduated from highschool and was burned out. And all we wanted to do was be with each other. We lived in a small one bedroom apt in a plce called university courtyard-the plus was it was close to camand having a general authority speak at graduation is really cool. We were there right before pus- usually married housing is farther away so it was nice we could still walk to class- i sold my car that semester-because it wouldve been a hastle to try and get it into canada. So that left us with brandons toyots tacoma- in the middle of winter - it was a stick and even though i tried i couldnt get the hang of it in the snow there-so when we went up for our second reception in calgary we traded cars with brandons brother barrett and got the xterra. I still miss that car gotta love the remote starter. Finally after a long semester and all the adjustments of being newly weds it was graduation time- i remember feeling sad i was leaving but excited for the new adventure. we got to sit next to each other at graduation that was really cool. We were there right before david bednar was called as an apostle- he was the pres of byu-i at the time- i heard him every tuesday at devotional. It felt so good to graduate like i was halfway towards my goal-even though i hadnt picked a solid major yet id changed 2 times from theatre education to interior design- i was so confused on what i wanted to do. The move to canada was crazy-we started working on immigration papers-and for anyone whos done it they know its not fun and it takes forever. I had to get medical checks be fingerprinted get fbi reports and basiclly tell my life story on paper and submit it to lawyers with pictures of my whole life to prove i wasnt lying just to live in canada- it was crazy i feel bad for people going the other way into the states- ive heard its harder-we had eventful times whenever we crossed the border and we waited for my work permit for a year- the worst part is they wont let you go to school or work until you are a landed immigrant i was so bored and antsy that year-it was really tough on me-because i wanted to get school done. Im so glad we had a lawyer to help us figure the whole process out he helped a lot. I finally got my alberta health card and work permit and things started looking up- UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE IS AMAZING! your sick you go to the doctor they pay for everthing- i love it the states needs it so bad so peole arnt afraid to go to the doctor- what a freedom. I started working for Pier 1 imports as a manager when i got my work permit and started up school again. I decided to take some event planning classes and see how i liked them- i knew immediatley it was something i wanted to do- but i also wanted a degree on top of it so i tried thinking of what would work well with event planning and business seemed like a good option with an emphasis in either hospitaility and tourism or entrapreneurship-sorry i know i spelled that wrong. afetr about a year i got my permanent redident card amd officially welcome in canada. I have another 3 years before i can apply for citizenship- how exciting-thnk heavens to the johnsons for helping me through that crazy time and helping me get into canada smoothly i owe them big and love them big for it.
