A quick catch up........

Well if you read my last post, you can imagine what my life is like right now! We have 20 days until we get possession of the new house....OMG! And with the sudden trips that keep happening for K (1 week in UK for family funeral & now the weekend in BC for work) and the revolving visits from my in laws.... I haven't got nearly as much done as I would have liked to and the time is passing quickly.

The couple of times that we've actually seen the house, we've only taken pic's on our iPhones.... but here here is a sneak peak....









So 20 days and that will be home.....so excited....but so much to do!!!

A lot to digest.....

We've had a lot going on...some bad & some good. Last week Keith's uncle passed away. He had been battling cancer and for the most part had a lived a great life...so it's a good thing that he's not in pain anymore. He will be missed, but at least he's not in pain anymore. They live in England, so Keith is leaving tomorrow night to head to the services that are on Friday. It will be nice for him to be there for his family & pay his last respects. I got to meet him when Keith and I went to the UK 2 years ago. His uncle was a very sweet guy that made me feel very welcome. We kept in touch after our trip...so I will miss him.

Now for the big news....drum roll please...... we are moving! Some people have known, but for the most part we were not telling people until it was a done deal...and that would be now. We were not looking to move - although it's been no secret that we have always wanted an acreage. So, this great deal fell into our laps a few months ago with a business associate of Keiths.... and since it wasn't anything that we were looking for, we felt we could be fairly picky on our conditions - the biggest of these being it must be a summer time possession date. And 2 days ago we were confirmed an August 20th possession date....my birthday =) The house is in Bearspaw....which is North West of Calgary....about 30 minutes from where we live now...so we can still be close to all the great friends we have here. Pretty excited to be closer to my girl T as well =)

It's a 4700 sq ft house on 2 acres.....yes! Exactly what we've always wanted!! So excited!! I'll keep you posted on the all the moving details.... but August 20th will be the big day! New house & happy 35th to me =)

Yet again.......

.....another great weekend!! Friday night was another night of a movie in with hubby & kids.....muchly needed as I didn't get to see much of the guy all week.

Saturday we divided and conquered.... K took the youngest 3 kids shopping to Toys R Us and then to Chuck E Cheese for some fun time with daddy. I took the other 5 to see Eclipse! It was AWESOME!!!!!! Laughed....cried....jumped....it was great! Stuck very close to the book....parts of the book that I hoped would be in the movie were....definitely not disappointing. Now the long wait to Breaking Dawn! Ugh! Then a bbq with hubby & kids...yum!
Sunday.....K had to go into work for a bit.....when he got back it was a trip to the park and then picked up McD's for dinner. All in all - a great day!

Today Cody left for a week long scout camp.... had to drop him off at the departure point....church in NE Calgary. Contrary to popular belief...yes I did remember where it was and I wasn't swallowed up in flames when I drove into their parking lot. So funny when you find out what some really think about you. Too bad I shut my 'give a damn' switch off a long time ago =)

Looking forward to the weather getting nice towards the end of the week.....a day trip to the lake with the kids might be in order. Need to get some house/yard work done but really dont feel like it.....after all, it is summer break....oh wait, that's just from school. Awe shucks!
