18 years ago...

Oh...I just realized...it was exactly 18 years ago today...our family arrived the land of Canada and decided to call this home...

I still remember the smell of that crowded little airport (before the renovation)...the first glance of the huge blue sky...green grass...like a framed picture...

I still remember the fear of a 12 old girl...knowing there is no turning back...this is it...

I still remember our first home...with the amazing waterfront view of the Fraser river...

I still remember going to school the first day...it was a Grade 6 class @ Douglas Elementary...

I still remember they were talking about the hockey games in class...what on earth is "hockey"???? I've never heard of it before back then...

18 years...a lot has happened...from a Honger slowly became a HBC...and I've learnt to appreciate this place now I call home...
