So, yes... my activity on my blog has dropped off the map almost completely. I can blame this in part on Facebook. My apologies. It's just easier to post a slough of pictures on there and have most people see them quickly. Besides, there really aren't may people who check this page religiously!! lol
It's already the middle of July. Holy smokes! We have less than 2 wks to finish our packing, before we leave for Manitoba. Our possession date is actually while we're away, so we won't be moving in until August 8th. Since we're moving, we have cut our visit to MB a bit shorter than we planned. Hopefully, we'll be back in Edmonton no later than the 4th, so we can pack up our remaining items and be ready to go for the weekend!! Fiona & Kieran will be staying behind with Grandma and Grandpa, and RVing back to Edmonton. This actually worked out well, b/c that will give us a break while packing up... since we'll only have ONE kid! Pft. Easy peasy!!
Fiona will be starting in a new school this year. She's excited, but sad to leave her friends behind. She actually told us that she wanted to move in the middle of the year, so the kids would know she was new and want to be her friend!! lol The girl loves attention :) I think she'll do just fine. Fiona has always been very resilient.
Stony Plain is about a 50 min drive from where we're living now. Sadly, I've had to quit my job at the Winspear. I really loved working there, and I'm going to miss it. More so the people. I got to feel young for a few hours each week. Not to mention, seeing some cool shows (like Ani Difranco) for free! Billy Bragg is coming this fall... *sigh*As you can see from the picture, I've inserted here... Stony Plain isn't that far from Edmonton. It's super close to Spruce Grove- which has pretty much everything a person would need (except a Michaels and Costco)!
So, the days are racing by and we'll be in our new house before we know it. I'm ecstatic. I can't wait to cook in my spacious kitchen while watching the kids play in the huge yard from the window.... to have a nice wood-burning fire on Christmas morning in our cozy family room. I can't wait to wake up loving the house I'm living in!!!
