The sound of settling

The idea for that title comes off a Death Cab for Cutie song, but it summarises what's going on now. The past few months have seen a momentous change in my life. I packed up my life into 3 suitcases and a piano, quit my job, my band, said goodbye to friends and family and moved to Canada in faith that God would provide. And he has. Quite amazingly.

I am 2 weeks into my new job, and I am about to start sharing a house. Hopefully I will finally purchase a car this week (getting credit as a new immigrant is somewhat tricky), finally the rate of change is slowing, and I'm beginning to settle. When I was in England I could only see a few months into the future, but now I can see a lot further which is strange but refreshing at the same time. I know I am going to be here for a while, both Katelynn and I now have great jobs, my job is sponsoring my visa extension so I'll be tied to that company for a while. Slowly Kitchener is beginning to feel like home.
