Yaaaaa!!!!!! Fantastic, Lindsey!!!!! I'd post some celebration smilies, but don't want to jinks anything. Fingers will be crossed even tighter now!!!!

Well, my mom didn't seem too excited, and my brother seemed completely indifferent, so I don't know. I was just looking up rentals in Vancouver and I could barely find anything that allowed pets, and those that did were $1500-$2000 a month for a one bedroom apartment! And I have no idea what utility bills and stuff would be like there. Now I don't know whether to be happy or to cry!

Your mom prob. wouldn't want her baby so far away...don't let them get you down Lindsay. Rentals here is sooo expensive, but if you get a job here, I'll help you find a place that allows Layla, don't worry about that part. There are affordable places to live that do allow pets, you just have to search your butt off!~ Do well on your phone interview!!! Keep us updated!

You need to stay upbeat for your interview. Things will work out with housing if it's meant to be, and your family will come around when they see you happy. Go for the opportunity and if you are offered the job then you can decide if the move is right for you.

Turns out the job is in Chilliwack, so warmer winters but much colder and rainier summers. I'd be about 2 hours east of Vancouver. He also said that he'd pass on my resume but wasn't sure that they'd go for me being a step below the woman who had left the job. My salary would be about the same as it is now, which is lower than their ad because they were looking for more experience. Now I don't know what to think. I'm kind of bummed about it.

Give it a day and then see how you feel. Anyway, you got the job!

[Lindsey]

well I gave it a couple hours and I feel better lol. I did some more research into Chilliwack and wikipedia is wrong about their climate. Summers are about the same as here, winters are much much warmer, plus I'd still get a little snow and gorgeous mountain views. I was excited about Vancouver in the beginning, but Chilliwack isn't that far away, plus cost of living would be way less, and there's possibly a better chance of finding rentals that would allow Layla. Basically my big plan in the first place was to get out of Saskatoon, not necessarily to Vancouver, but just somewhere different. I think I could deal with Chilliwack We'll see if the employer decides to contact me after seeing my resume.
