It's Official - Canada It is!

Wow! 2012 has been a crazy year to say the least!  All of the count downs have already begun recapping the year.  This was probably one of the greatest last years, but 2013 holds a whole new adventure for me and my wonderful new wife.  It is official, WE ARE MOVING TO VANCOUVER CANADA!   

Such a beautiful city!  It still has a west coast vibe, everyone was really nice and it has somewhat of beachy feel when we were up there.  Almost like a San Diego mixed with a Denver.  It doesn't feel like a big city, like San Francisco or Los Angeles, but it still has a ton of great shops and restaurants.   Im excited because Whistler is only a couple hours away and there are a couple local ski mountains about 30 mins from the city.  Our move will provide lots of great opportunities and give us the ability to experience a new perspective of living outside of the USA.  I know, it is just Canada and we will only be an hour from the border, but it is still a new experience.

We are really excited to see what the next chapter of life holds for us in Canada.  I especially will be exposed to a whole new healthcare experience in Canada.  I know there is a lot of conjecture in the USA about Canada's healthcare system from supporters and critics.  I have always lived a life of engagement to help determine my own perspective.  I fully expect their to be pros and cons, but I think they will be less dramatic than people make it out to be either way.  With diabetes in the USA, I am continually tied to having to be employed or risk losing my health insurance and therefore losing my ability to afford life prolonging treatments and equipment.  I don't want to get political, I am just stating the facts.  I hope to shed some light on my experiences with the Canadian healthcare system when I actual can experience it for myself.  

Please continue to check back here for some of our updates in our move next month and our new experiences! 2013 here we come!
