What's Up?

I was at a good friend's house for dinner last week and she made this awesome salad. I liked it so much I made it tonight for dinner. It was a Cobb Salad. Chris said he loved it. So thanks Kirsten for making the salad for me! Even the boys ate the hard boiled eggs! Sarah chowed down on the bacon, but who doesn't love crispy bacon! Mmmmmmmm gooooooood!

I started work for real today. Can't really believe that! The summer is almost gone!

I am in the process of still getting settled. Main floor is 90% there. Except for the boxes we keep bringing in to unpack! Upstairs is all done except for one box of clothes I won't be wearing anytime soon! The Play area still has about three boxes. That leaves the garage and basement. I am going to try to attempt a little nit everyday. The problem is, I can't move a lot of stuff because it is too heavy. So poor Chris gets stuck with a lot of the heavy work and me just bossing him around. Doesn't sound like too bad a deal....for me!:)

Tonight Chris is putting together the trampoline and organizing all the outside furniture. I think the mountain of boxes we have outside gets picked up Wednesday by the moving company. I can't wait until they are GONE!

TWO months!

Well, today I requested moving companies to come to my house and give us some quotes! They come Thursday to have a look around! I can't believe that May is almost over and that means only 2 Months + a week until I am back in Calgary. DID I SAY 2 Months!!! All of a sudden that doesn't feel like enough time! Where did the year go?????

All that said. I hate packing and getting everything ready! Believe me I am very very thankful to once again be able to hire the packers!!! I really don't think I could do it without them. Especially for the breakable stuff. But this time I am going to be watching those packers very carefully! I will also pack some stuff myself. Then the clean up! Oh the fun!

I have started to tell some of the other parents. I officially told the kids school. All these things make it so real. I have been so impressed with the kids school out here that it was actually a hard thing to do. Hopefully, I will like the kids new school too!

I sure hope the next few weeks don't fly by too fast!

On a different note, I had to turn on the air conditioning today. It was hot out today! I love the sun! I hope there is more of it coming and less rain and wind!!!!!!!!

We are Back!

We just arrived back yesterday from Penticton. The weather was awesome! It was so great to spend time with friends, watch the kids play, and enjoy the sun. I was a little sad leaving. Hopefully, I will get to come again another summer. I will miss it!

The kids added some new toys to the must have list this year. One of them, thanks to the Dureski's were water guns! The kids loved having water fights. The other toy was a surf board. All the kids eventually had one and they had a great time using them.

We wondered what it would be like to bring Sarah along. She was wonderful! She ate well, slept well and even started putting herself to sleep. She was a very good baby!

About the move, the movers and packers are booked. My van leaves tomorrow to go out East on a train. We should get the van back to us in about two weeks. Feels like it has been a long time coming and now it is happening so fast! I just want to thank everyone for all their kind words and well wishes. It has meant a lot to me! Thank You!

Being Spurred On!

The sermon at church last Sunday was about being "spurred" on. The speakers talked about moving and how they handled it. I wonder if God planned all that for me?

Now to update, Chris has found a house, we have officially rented out our house for September 1st. I haven't said much about the move, and to be honest I kind a hoped it wouldn't really happen. But at each opportunity for things to fall apart or not work out, they do work out. I guess someone up there really wants this to happen. Or Ron continues to pray harder than me!

I decided to post a few pictures of our house. And I hope the pictures will encourage people to come visit!!!!
