Default Returning aspiring VA from Okotoks, Alberta
Hello again everyone

I have been away from the forums for a few months due to some personal & family issues. 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!

That's exciting! Congratulations on the house! Having more space will be feel great! You'll REALLY enjoy a dedicated office. Life is crazy and plans/focus can disappear quickly sometimes. Glad to see your plans are still on track.

Take care,

Hello and welcome back! Congratulations on your new home, that is so exciting! I can imagine your thrill at having your own office space! Currently my office is nothing more than a corner of my Dining Room. DH has promised to build me an office in our garage... I'm not holding my breath! LOL!

Good luck with the move and getting settled in. I am fairly new here and hope to learn more for evey one.
So far this forum has been a wealth of info!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back and your kind words.

I am really excited to be back as a part of VAF and hope to be able to contribute my experiences as I've slowly been building towards the launch of my business. I look forward to jumping back in to the forums and geting back into the swing of things and continue on in my future plans.
