We have had zero downtime!! That is soooo not an exaggeration! Yes, before you say it, we are completely aware that most of our craziness is self induced! We are working hard at keeping life for Maddy as normal as it can be. That means we still go to the movies, the pool, the library, play dates etc. On top of all the things that come along with an international move!! Yikes! Next week Maddy will be in bible school from 8:30am until noon, that will be a true blessing! We just might get caught up...okay, probably not, but we'll do our best!!
The goodbyes started last week with a farewell party for ourselves and the Dochertys. Actually we just wanted an excuse to use up all our alcohol reserves!! LOL If only we could bring it all to Canada with us... That was Friday and it was a very nice party. The Allies gave us a lovely pencil drawing of our house framed. I loved it! This house will always hold a special place in my heart! The second goodbye was Saturday after yardsaling. Jane had a surprise brunch waiting when we arrived home after our morning of yardsaling! It was very sweet and Michelle had somehow found a print called "Rummage Sale" and framed it. We are going to need lots more wall space at our new home!! I don't love goodbyes, so it was a very tiring weekend.
The 4th of July concert was on the 3rd...LOL, it's true! The singers were Trace Adkins, Joe Nichols and Joe Martinez. It was outstanding! It only rained on us a little...just enough for my hair to frizz out into a huge ball of fuzz right before I met Trace! It wasn't a pretty sight!! Luckily his hair was just as bad...Michelle said we looked like siblings with our masses of blonde frizz! (sweet isn't she!) The 4th we headed over to watch the Canadian Skye Hawks jump. They are the Canadian military jump team. They had a really great show!! Jeff had worked with one of the guys in Petawawa so we got to go and talk to them after the jump. Let me tell you Maddy was thrilled!! We forgot our camera or I would have been posting some seriously cool pictures!! Then we went home and watched a movie and crashed!! The rest of the week we have been doing an inventory of all our possessions for customs. That's always fun...LOL We have also been trying to get things in some sort of order before the packers come in a week and a half. They'll pack everything up for us, but we have been doing a major sweep and getting rid of things we don't really need. That is no easy task, let me tell you!! The sun has come out and we have been able to hit the pool a couple of times! Not super exciting, but most definitely super busy!!
I'll do my best to keep you posted in the upcoming weeks, but I can guarantee it will be sporadic!! Wish us luck as we start out on our next adventure!!
