I am happy to report that today my husband and I got officially approved for our mortgage, and we move into our first home on July 28, 2010!! I had originally planned to launch my business in February 2010, but due to moving in July, I have moved the launch date closer to the end of the year. The nice thing is that in our new house I will have my own office, so I am pretty ecstatic about that. We currently rent a 1 bedroom condo so you can imagine how tiny our space is now! I am still working as a full time real estate paralegal in downtown Calgary, and will probably remain there for another few years until my business gets off the ground. Hope everyone at VAF is doing well, and I look forward to catching up with everyone! __________________ Denyse Giguere Cimarron Business Solutions
