Starting Year Seven

Matthew and I are heading into year 7 of living north of 60. We got married, took a quick honeymoon back to Cape Breton to see his family (not sure if you would call that a honeymoon though), and headed north to Hay River in the Northwest Territories. We will always remember that place for the amazing friends we made there- and the beer/wing nights at the pub.

Just under two years later I got itchy feet and I dragged Matt further north to Kugluktuk, Nunavut. That amazing place we will remember for the friendliest easygoing locals, sewing classes with elders, skidooing/quadding on the tundra, caribou hunting, our first home, and our first kid.

After realizing we were mentally exhausted nearly three years later, we made the move to the Yukon. Ahhh.... The Easy North welcomed us with open arms, a road and trees.

Life in the north is for us, and Faro will be our home for a good while.
