Or better: this is the date when we arrived in Calgary, Alberta as immigrants in Canada 12 years ago.
On the same day in May we celebrated our 15th anniversary.
We left Norway with only a "small" box and a few suitcases.

Our first dining room was a set of patio furniture.
In June the we went on our first camping trip through the Rocky Mountains .
There met the first black bear
on our way to Peyto Lake.

Of course we went to the world famous Lake Louise.

We went all the way across the mountains to Vancouver, BC where we picked up our "box".
When we finally got hold of our possessions we felt like "Welcome to Canada".
A year later we got sweet little Molly.
We since have enjoyed this continent very much and travelled it extensively for the last 8 winters.
Mountains, Deserts or the Beaches. It is beautiful everywhere!
Happy double anniversary!
