1 WEEK! (PICTURES)

Ian had the privilege of walking through our "almost-entirely-complete-minus-the-things-they-forgot-house" today! (And use our bathroom for the first time! Sorry if that's TMI) I unfortunately had to be at work..(and it was a good thing too, because we have a significant amount of our staff call in sick today.. but that is besides the point!) and so he took lots of pictures! The green tape represents areas that need touch ups and I am going to let the pictures say the rest! (Not in any particular order)

Packing

Well it's VERY difficult to believe but we will move into our new house in 9 sleeps! It's crazy! After Christmas I thought this day would never come and now we are packing up our little suite in preparation.

Being a procrastinator, I have been a little less motivated than Ian to actually get started packing. Thankfully we left a bunch of our stuff in boxes when we moved from our last apartment, YAY! But as I write here Ian is busy at work packing and I have done a bunch of bedroom and bathroom packing. I feel pretty good about that haha however, I will only have one more day off after today until the day we actually move. I have mentioned to others that I am lacking motivation because I cannot actually wrap my mind around the fact that after 13 months of waiting we will soon be living in our very own, brand new, house. It all just seems like it was one of those computer games where you plan your dream house or something ha!

We feel very blessed and find it hard to believe that all of this is happening. We never thought that things would work out so perfectly in the process of buying this house that we thought was little more than a dream we had.

We CANNOT wait to have everyone come out and visit! To stay in actual spare bedrooms haha instead of in a room with all of our storage or in the living room. SO EXCITED! I love having people stay with us but have, up until this point, felt a little bit sorry for anyone who does stay with us because it must not be completely comfortable being stuffed into a corner.. so I am sorry to everyone who experienced that at our place! Now when you visit you will have your own room (and a room for the kids) and your very own bathroom :)

All of this to say.. I CAN'T WAIT for this new experience and chapter of our life! Sometimes, because Airdrie is so close to Calgary, I forget that we are actually moving to a new city! It's weird and exciting all at the same time. It means exploration and finding new and exciting places to shop, walk, play, roam and anything else we feel like we want to do. Not to mention it will be SO nice being 10 minutes away from work! And being so close to the majority of my girlfriends out here!

Hope to have visitors soon! I should get back to packing!

With Love.
