An Amazing Life

We have piles of our stuff sorted into Cape Breton, Coleman and Dump this morning. J is up early with the load going to the dump. I am feeding Ruby, as always... what can I say the kid loves food. It's hard to believe this day has come. We are eager to get going and start this next phase. Being in the city has been hard for us - it was always supposed to be just a stop gap measure for the next step and turned into 16 years of life. The past 5, where Justin and I have been working towards a piece of land in Cape Breton and land and  a house in the  mountains has been exceptionally hard as we have had our heads down working. Being in the city has had some great things come our way. We've been able to practice our crafts with respect to work and have been fortunate with being able to secure remote positions. We have had many good times with friends and family in this house that we have packed up and will be leaving today. But, it really feels like it's time to start working on...

How is it 5 days until we move?? Yet, here we are!  We have most of our stuff loaded or in the Coleman house - one more load to go and it will be there. Justin is doing that tomorrow. Most of the stuff for Cape Breton is packed. Yet, it still doesn't feel real! We've had a garage sale, packed up most of our belongings and are getting ready to start our adventure. One more big push and we are there.  J is exhausted, I am too... but no pain no gain, right? We will get there... one step at a time... 5 days to go - one day at a time ..

How are we down to 28 days? I have been packing up more and more this week - quilts and clothes for the girls. My closet, linen of all varieties. The list is getting longer and shorter at the same time... how is that possible?  The walls are bare and things are being sold so there are piles of stuff scattered... 1/2 packed boxes and piles of toys and craft supplies. Moving is hard and disruptive.  The NS border is still closed to those who want to move there so we are in a holding pattern. I joked with J this morning that we have 2 weeks until we panic... right??? The days are at least hot and sunny so we can spend sometime outside running SJ out of energy and allowing me to relax a bit on the deck with RG.  It's hard to believe that the time to move is almost here and we still don't know if we will make it there. Fingers crossed for us.
