Well, it's not only been almost 3 months since I last updated this blog, but it's also been 3 weeks since I've moved into my new home and it's been great (and hectic)!
Moving Day: It rained! Yay! :S
Despite the rain, we forged ahead and all 12 of us were able to pack the truck (5 ton, 24 footer), wall-to-wall and three trailers (can anyone say "Kids Toys"?), by noon (started at approximately 9 am). All the cars/trucks were packed with stuff as well. It's true when someone tells you that you don't realize how much stuff one has until you have to move it all.
I've since told my wife that if we can afford it one day, we would buy a new house, already furnished, and sell this one, already furnished, and only move our clothes. :)
We were able to unload everything in about 3 hours. However, we're still not done unpacking. I'm still living somewhat out of a box for my clothing and my office is still not completely setup. However, the essentials are done: kitchen, living room, dining room, kids room's and the playroom.
I also have a garage now, which up until this week, was filled with carboard due to the move. Now that it's all gone, I can focus on organizing it.
The kids love the new house and my son has a great view from his bedroom of an elevated tee from the Outaouais Golf Course. He's now taken an interest in the sport since he saw kids playing there.
I'm looking forward to completing the work that's left to be done in the house so that I can actually do nothing for a single day at some point in the next year, however I fear that will never happen (unrealistic, I know).
