Carmella and I are no longer satisfied in Vancouver. The rents are high, the job market is very tough, and it rains for most of the year. It's time to leave!
We're applying for jobs in small BC towns, as we both like the idea of living in a close community with mountains not too far away.
We've heard that Edmonton has a very strong job market. This is likely because most people go and work with oil, so it leaves a lot of other positions open. The University of Alberta is in Edmonton, and they have a very healthy amount of job vacancies posted.
Edmonton is not a small town, and isn't extremely close to any mountains. Instead of rain all winter, they have -30C all winter, and equally grey skies. But rents are cheaper there, people are friendly, and the job market is vibrant. We think we might be able to live and work there for a few years, save up some money, get more job experience, and then see where we are after that.
Carmella and I are both educated, capable individuals who want more from our work than we're currently getting. It's time to look outside of Rain City!
It's exciting to think about a new adventure together, so we'll see where life takes us.

That's super exciting! I think a change sounds like a good idea. Who knows, you could fall in love with the place! That's what I am hoping for Adelaide for me.
