Done!

Money is at the Lawyers office! We no longer own a place in Copperfield! Whoohooo! Their walk through is at 11:00.

One big thing I've noticed about being in my new place... Is that I've been making suppers again! Its been a long long time since I've had time for that (and this week has been busy)! So nice.

Great Place

Sounds like Lori's loving the new pad. I'm anxious to see pics of everything unpacked and in its real home. Let's see, anything under 2 years would be a record (cause I know some items at the other place never did find a home). Must admit the sectional against the red wall looks great. I think a little black would bring it all together. Perhaps the black could be a cat named Jeter, then the place would always look different.

This week we're getting to spoil Addyson. I get to spend time in the early morning and after supper with baby. Grandpa gets to share the rest with Kim and Addyson. Too bad I have to work this week, but this arrangement is working well anyways.

Update from inner city living:

Well, got up at 7:45ish this morning, an hour later than usual. I think my commute was about 5 minutes. I didn't time it, but it was FAST! I have to work out a smarter route through the 4 traffic lights. Dang pedestrians are holding me up. So, I think if I cross to the other side, where theres no pedestrians, I should be able to shave it down to about 3 minutes.

Tonight, I have dodgeball at 7:30. Normally, I'd be kicking around downtown, killing about... oh.... 3 hours... just because there was really no point in going home first. So, tonight will be my first experience at going home... eating supper... chillaxing... then going to dodgeball about 15 minutes before start time! So exciting!

Looks sweet

Well Lori, I must say this will be a bit of an adjustment for you! But, that place looks really nice. I like the Windows.
Addy and I came up to Med Hat Mon - Fri but I only managed to be here an hour before I started barfing my brains out. Happy flu to Gma and Gpa! Well, I am feeling better today but I just hope no one else gets it! Billy is away in Memphis for a tour of th air conditioning plant and he'll be back on Thursday.

Other than that, nothing much new. I think Dad and I will head out this aft for a bit on this BEAUTIFUL afternoon!

Aaaaah

First morning in my new place:
Just got up, walked a couple steps to my bathroom, then another couple more steps to the living room to my computer. I can pretty much see every corner of my place from just about anywhere. Being in this small area kinda feels like... oh... standing in Connies new bedroom. I think its about the same size! Thats ok tho! Cause I'm just so happy to be sooooo close to work. I'll have to test out my bike ride. I think it should be... oh... 5 minutes.

I must say it IS tight in here. It will get better once i sort thru my stuff, put some down in storage and put the rest away. But, the sun light in this place is great! woke up to my floor to ceiling windows, staring at the clear blue sky.

Sunday night
brought Jeter over. She meowed the whole way. People in the elevator must have thought she just came from the vet or something... She was howlin'! She also meowed her whole first night here. Bugger. We'll have to see how tonight goes... quieter I hope.

Monday morning:
Walked across the street for Tim Hortons! That's so great to throw on flip flops, not have to drive anywhere... and boom! Tim Hortons, Subway, and Macs store waiting to serve me! I hope I don't get into some bad habits of "making" Macs suppers too often!

Monday night:
Unpacking is going well. Still have 3 boxes and a couple trips to the storage room, but... its starting to look like home. Got the fish out of the pail finally, they seem to be doing well back in the aquarium.

Next steps will be closet organizer (or hooks/shelves... something) and hanging pictures.

All in all I am really loving my new place. I actually really like that anything I need is only steps away. I for sure LOVE the south facing, huge balcony and views.

Here's a tour:


And a couple pics:

My truck packed up, and for those of you who haven't seen the chrome rocker panels and mirror covers:



















And MOST importantly!!! Circles go with circles, squares go with squares!

Sore Back!

Yeah well, we got up at 5:30 am to make it to Calgary for 9:00. We brought the trailer so we helped move. Lori treated us to Montana's on our way to her new place. Good things for elevators, 18 floors would be a little much. Everything went well, I think. Lori has a very nice suite. I'm sure she will be happy. It's nice and cozy and feels like home already. We missed out on the beer though....maybe next time!

Time change was last nite. Dad thought we should get up early and go to church. Found out the real reason was cause he wanted to watch some hockey game. Was trying to figure out what to do this afternoon when we were looking to see where we could put the little deepfreeze we got from Lori. Opened our big one up and voila....I asked Dad what the reason for water to be streaming from the lid. I thought he had unplugged it or something just cause we were going to switch them out. Your not going to believe this, but our big one decided to quite working. The good thing about all this is we know exacting what's happening to the oldie. Now we're waiting for Kimberly and Addy. Can't wait!!!!

Hours...

My count down is now in HOURS! I don't have a definite time for keys pickup... Realtor/Lawyer/Banks have been telling me the release usually happens around lunch! So, I guess that means... ONE hour to go!

As soon as I get the keys I'll be heading over to check it out!! Then I may leave work early today to get a head start with cleaning! hahhaa, bet you never thought you'd here me say that! After that I'll be heading home to do my last minute packing and for one last sleep in my old Home! I guess I'll stay there, seeing as thats where my bed will be.

So, excited! See you soon M and D! Tx for helping... again. Kids hey? Is there every a time when they stop needing their mom and dad??? hahaha!!
