Less than a month now till MOVING TIME! I've just posted ads for the MOVING/YARD SALE we are having this coming Sunday. We've now also sold our ride-on lawnmower and three beds which we will not need.Last weekend we bought a bunch of used-once boxes from a couple who had recently moved from Alberta - wardrobe, china and 2+ cube moving boxes. Hope we now have enough! We plan on doing a lot of packing etc this weekend, along with having the yard sale.
I'm still having a lot of ups and downs emotionally about the move - I think it is a combination of not knowing how we will cope with living 'in town' after being on an acreage for 8 years, and also selling the house that my parents, and then us, built over the past 37 years. It is probably a bit of the grieving process from Mom's death this spring still mixed in! This is a very, very busy year - with no sign of letting up. And to increase the activity it looks fairly certain that we may be moving at work also - I'm hoping for the end of October for that!
Ian should be coming home fairly soon - he will be helping with the move, but off a lot for some more trips and a few short courses, before he heads to UNBC to start his second year in January.
And - we will be having a new helper, Sofia from Mexico, who is due to arrive on Saturday - probably in the morning. I'm hoping to be able to have her do a lot of helping with cleaning before, during and after the move. Along with helping with everything else to do with the move.
more later - the clock says I should be getting ready for work!
