Monday Moments: On the Move!

February 16, 2015 by Anna 9 Comments

So we may or may not have BOUGHT A HOUSE!

YOU GUYS, WHAT THE EVEN WHAT.

No takebacks?

Subjects will be removed this week, and, Lord willing, we’ll be moving at the end of March. It’s going to be crazy weird, after the past three years living with my in-laws, not to have them around, and I think we’ll probably all have a bit of a withdrawal period. Then there’s the fact that we were looking at pretty small houses with single living rooms, and suddenly we have a whole house with a basement, a living room AND a family room and guess who already SOLD ALL THE FURNITURE. Oops. Then there’s the fact that our moving-in date is the same as our must-be-out-of-our-house date, making for a tight turnaround, and the fact that I have 50% of my course grade due in the form of a 15- page paper and unrelated group presentation the night before said move.

So if you need me, you can find me in April.

All that said, we are pretty excited, as it will certainly be better than the alternative, which was quickly becoming living in our play tent.

IMG_0936We are happy that will likely not be the case.

IMG_0928And even happier it got settled before Carl left – literally on the last possible day. Now he’s gone until 3 weeks before the move, giving me just enough time to not start packing at all.

Because we’re vuurrrrrry busy over here, you see, teaching kids how to use cameras.

      Sadly not…maybe we picked the wrong time of year to sell/buy, but there was really nothing available in Abbotsford in our price range that didn’t require a TON of work!

    You and Kristopher look like 2 peas in a pod in the first picture! So glad you don’t have to live in a tent ..although I did say your rooms were still available ;)

      Absolutely not :) Should you want to plan a trip for the end of March, we can promise an excellent workout and post-workout refreshment, along with a room to stay in the new place once everything’s unloaded. How’s that for an offer, right?

        Pfffft I can think of better ways of aging prematurely. I’m sending the girls out your way in three weeks, but they wouldn’t be much help either.
