13 Days and Counting....

13 days to go and I am doing house stuff...fun and exciting eh?  Still have lots to pack but the bedroom is off limits during the day as DH is sleeping.  Stupid night shift so I am left to pack the rest of the house, which is pretty much done I think.  I can't really pack any of the things that I am currently using: blankets, clothes, towels, toys, utensils etc.  So I have been sorting and trashing and making bread.....

Count Down to Nova Scotia...14 days

Wow...so I started planning a garage sale last week and a few of my friends decided to jump on board.  So today when I woke up at 7:30 am, I was very disappointed...It was RAINING!   Great!  Now I have a house full of junk in boxes that I can't get rid of.

So I made my morning coffee and visited with hubby for a bit and the rain stopped.....so I got my friends together and convinced them that we could do it and the rain wouldn't bother us.

We had a good day.  Lots of lookers and few buyers. I wish it was the other way around tho since we can't take a whole lot of stuff with us.  I'd rather make some pin money rather that leave it behind to collect dust.

14 days left till we leave on our journey across Canada, this time with the whole family.  I'm excited to have Brad see the house in person for the very first time and I hope (fingers crossed) he's gonna love it as much as I do!  Only time will tell....

Blessed Be
Kate

Better Late than Never!

WOW!   So I would like to take this time to apologize for seriously lacking in my writings....It has been one wicked busy Summer....We bought a house in Nova Scotia, so I had to drive across country by myself for the closing; My husband and I FINALLY went on our honeymoon, (took us 5 years); and we had a six week vacation!

 We bought my Dream House....Its huge!  It is a 6 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath, 3000 sq Heritage DREAM!!!!!  There's only one problem....Its across Canada, AWAY from my family.  My husband and I originally are from BC, so this is a huge, HUGE move.  At the end of June I took a road trip across Canada with my oldest son, and it was amazing!  Before I left I got lots of comments of disbelief that I was gonna do it.  A neighbour told me he would never let his wife do that, I thought that was strange that he should be the one to "let " her do it.  But that's another topic for another day.  I did it anyways, 12 to 14 hour days driving with the company of a 7 year old.  We took the seats out of the back of the van and slept on an air mattress at truck stops and camp grounds.  We made it in 5 days.  Boy was I happy to stop driving, but so happy to be at my new house.

We closed the deal on the house, the roofers started the new roof, and Helga (my new blue crowbar), Cole and I ripped out the rotten deck and the horrible carpet and tile the previous owners had put in the kitchen.  Who puts carpet in a kitchen, especially when the rest of the house has old wide plank flooring?!?!?!? After the a few weeks of bliss, we had to leave...and drove back across Canada again.

We got back home, stayed for all of 2 days and then we were off again, this time the whole crew and drove to BC for the start of our summer holidays.
