Busy Life

Life has been really busy here lately. May 4th our first born turned 7 where did the time go. Both sets of parents arrived on May 3rd to get us all packed for the move. The big move happened on May 15th. It's amazing it all took place in one day. The parents left the day after the move so far only found one thing left behind which is amazing considering the amount of BOXES.
It's one week later and the main floor is all organized, pictures hung, new floors in all that's left is paint on the walls (summer/fall projects).
Tomorrow is a new day/new week. I start working 5 days a week M-F 8-5 the girls will be with the nanny full time (so excited). Big girl has 5 days left of first grade then its "schools out for summer!!"
pictures to come later.. haven't stopped long enough to take any of our new home yet

New house

 

New Address

Effective May 20th we have a new address.. Now I can start planning things for the move with some degree of certainty. It's never fun to not have all the details.. But on the same note now it's serious I have to get things in order! Booked the packers they should arrive May 3 thank goodness for mothers..
May is a busy month:
The movers come on the 18th.
First night in new house should be the 19th.. I think
Last day at current job 14th
first day at new job the 24th.
Last day of school 28th

Almost There

We have made an offer, received a counter offer and waiting for our relator to write up our next counter. Maybe by Tomorrow morning we'll have a new address.

Had two companies in today to get quotes to move.. Wow big job!

It's SOLD

March 4th we took our chances to see how the market was & now it's April 14th and we've accepted an offer to sell our house.

I have mixed feelings

I remember the day hubby called to say he found our dream home & now we are selling it.

We will find another house that we will make our retreat!!

we have to be gone by May 20

Let the house hunting begin!!

Home ownership really Sucks sometimes.

Right now we are having no fun with being grown up & owning our own home.

Times Up

Today was a cleaning Marathon day and laundry. It's ten to 4 and I am finally sitting down for a minute before I go pick up darling daughter from the bus. We have a family coming back for a 2nd showing tonight.. Fingers crossed. This meant cleaning things like ovens & soaker tubs... Its' as good as it gets.

Of other note, Hubby had a few good days last weekend but he's heading back down the path to debilitating headaches again. Not good. He's now keeping a food, activity and pain journal to see what it is. The week he got out of the hospital he stopped taking the medication they gave him but obviously that's not the cause of the headaches. We have all his images from the various scans they did so hopefully soon he'll give our GP the green light to make a referral to the University affiliated hospital in our town. Maybe then we'll get some answers... He continues to work & be a trooper..

House Hunting

This weekend we had 3 showings of our house in one afternoon. This was good & bad all at the same time. With hubby just being d/c from Hospital on Friday after an entire week with no real change in his symptoms taking him out was tough. I had to stay home both days this weekend from work because hubby was not safe to care for the girls for 12 hrs + / day.

Thankfully we have great friends & were able to call them up last minute and impose on them for the afternoon. WONDERFUL day hubby slept in their easy chair & the kids all played nicely & adults got to visit. Boy I miss my weekends.

Today I went & looked at my first house for our move. But there was something about the neighbourhood I didn't like, the house was really nice.

What I want in a house...
Big kitchen, open to the eat in area & a family room
minimum 4 bedrooms & 2 full baths (a NICE big master ensuite tub)
minimal carpet
size important 3000+sq ft.
a place for my sewing stuff

Our Realtor understands what we want & hopefully he'll be able to get us a few more showings booked.

One couple through yesterday like the house & and todays couple want to see the survey. So it's looking better every day!
