Hi kimmy, nice to meet you. My name isn't quite dia, but close'ish. I was born in Vancouver, and have lived in various places in BC, but am in Surrey now till I retire to the Okanagan. I prudently chose a home that was not accessible for drive-by shootings, has a cute little yard and lots of green space around - not bad for a single income earner making something less than 'middle class' earnings. I have kids, grand-kids and now a great-grandkid, but only because all my descendants had kids way too young.
