28 days

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.

It's nature!

When telling Sally, "Darling, you have grass in your hair." She looks at me and shrugs "ahhh, it's just nature." And walks away. She has better things to do, now  the sun is shining. Pickles, her constant companion, and her like to race to the mailbox and back. She has yet to win, but never stops trying. Her determination is solid, unwavering. Just like her loyalty to her dog. It's one of the things I admire most about her. J and Ruby were sitting watching a YouTube show on my phone the other day. She inevitably changed the show, as 2 year olds do. Justin asks her "Ruby, uh oh, what did you do?" She looks up at him with a quirky smile "I pushing buttons Dad!" She exclaims then let's out a chuckle. We all burst out laughing. Her comedic timing is unparalleled in 2 year olds, she is whitty and clever and so very funny. It's one of the things I cherish most about her. So much waiting has occurred in Justin and I's life together. ...

Update on the property

Just a quick update on the property. We got the tally back from the dumpster and Justin removed 4.6 tones of garbage. He also removed 2 cars, one truck (?) which I have named the Chevy Ford (thanks to my friend Larissa). His work has paid off and now he can just work on felling trees in January. The space has opened up a lot without those vehicles and it's nice to not just see garbage when you walk around the property.  The cars were removed on Tuesday. The truck will hopefully be removed next week. I  am hoping Justin can take a small break over Christmas once his contract ends so he can rest and recuperate. So much work is yet to come.  Onwards and upwards.

34 days and counting

 Here we are - 34 days until our plans are enacted. We are sitting on the precipice of the life that we have been working towards for the last 5 years. Its miraculous really that we have made it here - and we have so much more accomplished than we planned. We have two beautiful daughters who are healthy and happy. We are free from the slavery of debt. We have big plans and big dreams - most of which we are setting out to accomplish in the next 5 years! Our big move - a move across the 2nd largest country in the world - starts in 34 days. I say starts because that is when we have to move out of this house. We still don't really know what it will look like just yet. There are many things up in the air, but we do know that we are going to move out of this house. We do have property in CB and we are working on purchasing property in AB at this moment. We will know more in a few days when the assessment comes back - as I said, there is a lot in the air. We are happy, healthy, and ready ...
