Moving Stinks!
May 26th ~ We moved. If you have done it you know how terrible it really is. On a positive note it does encourage a healthy purge. Our first house. I still feel giddy as I type. Slogging through the boxes, living out of a cooler and using the BBQ with two children under 5 has been challenging. Things are looking up since the oven and fridge arrived on June 5th.
I was hesitant about moving to the port city of Saint John, New Brunswick. We are only an hour away from our parents so that is not so bad. I do miss being able to scoot over to mom's for a quick visit. The other option is Ottawa, which is 15-16 hours away so Saint John is okay with me. The best part is that everyone is so friendly! Maybe all cities are like this and this is normal? I just can't get over how the neighbors and people you don't know are saying hello.
The best, best part...being so close to the ocean. I love the ocean! My oldest daughter seems to like it as much as me. Can't wait to take photos of her running in the sand.
Hey Becki, you forgot to say how great a help your old FIL was when moving in. I still think a little more purging is required but I would be the pot calling the kettle black.
