We are moved...kinda...


O.K. so this is just an example of what it looked like the day we were supposed to move our entire home! Ya Right, hey!! And to top it all off, it was about - 52 C .....so to say the least we have not completely moved. Every truck in Edmonton...well pretty much Alberta were frozen stiff and none worked. So thank goodness but my Mom had come up with her Jeep Cherokee, and we just packed our car and hers to the max, and completely finished all the packing in the house. So we are now in Calgary staying at Jonathans parents until the 15th of February, then we are giong back up to Edmonton on the 16th to load our house up (and hopefully it will be warmer...we think it will) and then we will finally be moved down here into our new place we are renting! Which is just such and blessing and so exciting, cause it is actually just above my best friend Emily!! :) I know it is so crazy, but it just worked out so perfectly, and will fit our needs just great. It has three bedrooms and it is beautiful, and the best part is me and Em can just run down the stairs if we want to be together!! I am just so excited and could not feel more blessed. So that is just an update on what is happening with us. We will certainly miss some things about Edmonton, but we feel so blessed and happy to be here in Calgary again! :)

Crystal! I linked to your blog through Jo's since I thought it would be you, and it is! So fun that you guys are moving back to Calgary, I'm totally jealous ;) But maybe not of the weather! Brrrrrr!!! I'm so glad that things have worked out so well for you and your sweet little family. You could not deserve it more :) Good luck with the rest of your move!

What crummy weather to move it. That will be great when it is all moved and done. I am so happy that everything has worked out so good for you guys. That will be wonderful having Emily just downstairs. Fun times. We had some friends that lived below us a few years back and it was great getting together every night to play games and stuff. I am so excited for you and I hope you get settled in soon and that all is well.

When we lived in Calgary we lived in the basement of a house and our friends lived upstairs and you're right, it was so nice to run up or down the stairs to hang out. It came in very convienient when we needed a sitter too. It's good that the move went well.
