Why Saskatchewan?

Some people ask me how we got from Holland to Swift current.
I always tell them with a plane.
But they mean, why we picked Swift current and why Saskatchewan.
And then I think, why did we pick Saskatchewan???
We had no idea what Saskatchewan would be like.
We didn't know anyone.
And to go somewhere were you have nothing, is kinda scary.

Stan is member of a wewbsite for Ghosttowns.
And he has been looking on the internet for ghost towns.
So he went on a realtor site and found Kelsey Adam, he asked him if they sell abandoned houses and if he knew of someone that did.
He said that they would sell, but that no realtor would do it cause there isn't money in it for them.
So Stan and Kelsey started talking about Swift current, and it seem a good place to start a new life.
Stan also started looking for a company that would hire him, and he found a great company.
Befor we left from Holland he had a job, and we had a place to live for 1 month.
Kelsey was selling his old house and we could stay there for 1 month untill we got something else.
We found something else, a college of Kelsey had a house for rent.
So here we are....from Ghost town searching to Swift current.
Life can be weird and also alot of fun.
Sometimes in life you feel trapped... like what we were in the Netherlands.
We didn't have a life there.
And when Stan got refused my world came crashing down.
I had to say goodbye to my family, and farewell to my grandmother, I will never see her again in this life.
But this is our life now, and we are going to make the best of it.
