I keep telling people our house is huge.. especially compared to Falher, so here are some pictures of it. We live on the second & third floors (there are 2-3 apartments on the floor under us) in old Lévis. The house is over 100 years old, all stone masonry.. I like it.
We usually come in through the back door/balcony, which leads into the living room..

..which is still decorated for Lyndon’s birthday. The “brick wall” is our group contract, and our calendars are busy, as you can see.
Go through the door on the right and you are facing the office:

To the left of here is the PL’s bedroom, the doorway on the right is the phone room, and this is also attached to the dining room:

And if I talk to you on the phone, this is where I am sitting, haha.

Now, if you went back to the living room, and straight through the door on the left instead, you would end up in the kitchen:

Yes! We have a real kitchen! With a table, a microwave and a funtioning stove! That is more than could be said for both of our other katimavik kitchens..
The closed door is the downstairs bathroom, the open doorway leads back to the living room/stairs. I took the kitchen picture from the doorway of the main girl’s bedroom:

So.. going up the stairs to get to my bedroom..

The stairs get mention because I almost fall down them every. single. day. That turn is deadly.
The upstairs bathroom/laundry room is boring but I love the walls:

Upstairs is also where the boy’s bedroom, the guest bedroom and another small hang-out room is, plus our room & a storage room.

Jasmine & I have the smallest room but it’s nice. I prefer it at night though:

…because I love seeing the lights from Quebec City across the river. So, now you know part of why I am already a lot happier here than in Alberta. I think having big windows & lots of daylight helps… even though it is still winter here (and consistently colder than Falher – what is up with that??)

absolutely. the program is not for everyone.. 9 months IS a long time, and it’s an incredibly hard thing to do (they really don’t give you any idea of what you’re getting into before you start, to be honest).. but it’s also an incredible opportunity & you learn SO much. the experience is truly what you make of it.. every group I’ve met is so different.. but yeah, I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about it. and if it’s not your thing, you can always leave.
