Moving

WE ARE MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
To Edmonton.

Not sure if this is good or bad. 

Some goods:
  • shopping
  • crohns specialists for Husband
  • great concerts
  • shopping
  • did I mention shopping yet?
  • amazing farmers markets
  • cool new house in the south side close to international airport
  • which means cheaper flights
  • way for fun for people to come and see us. 
  • shopping
  • cool restaurants
  • amazing new job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (details to follow hopefully soon.  Waiting for contracts to be signed)
  • shopping
  • IKEA....is that shopping?
Sucky things:
  • leaving friends
  • selling everything off to move (the stress level is a little much at this point)
    leaving friends
  • leaving my barrista at starbucks.  The only one that makes me happy.  She is amazing.
  • packing.  I hate packing.
  • leaving our small group that we love
  • leaving our house that we finally finished this last month
  • leaving our friends
  • not having a comfort zone.  I have lived here for 9 years.  That is a lot.
It will be good though.  This is going to be an insane adventure and we can't wait! We still have a lot of people to tell and contracts are signed hopefully today so that we can tell more people and get started on everything.

This is nuts.

We have packed about 30 boxes so far.  Making a small dent! We have also thrown out a lot of stuff again.  We are so funny that way.  Yesterday, for five boxes packed, we threw out 2 black garbage bags of stuff.  We hate clutter.  No hoarding happening here!

Check out this timeline........

                    April 8th   turn 12 (legally dead, brain aneurysm thing)
                    April 10th turn 30 (crap! I feel old)
                    April 17-27 move away
                    April 27th start our new work adventure
                    May 20th our 10 year wedding anniversary
                    May 22   Husband turns 30

That my friends is going to be one insane month and a half.

Time to go to work.  I have to train people at the restaurant to take over for me today! Not selling yet, but will have to.  This is going to be nuts.



What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
