Ugh!

Closing in on June and there is so much to be done. Jeffy has been working hard in Edmonton putting in overtime and looking for a place for us to live. Its been frustrating for him since he's never "house-hunted" before. I have always been the one to find a place to live. We found a great townhouse in a really nice neighborhood but by the time we had put in our application it was gone. It would have been nice to have this part of the process complete but, alas, it was not meant to be. He'll be looking at a bunch of places this weekend as all the new properties come available at month-end. Since I'll be starting a day care we will be needing a finished basement and a nice fenced backyard. There is actually lots available but not all are that nice.

Annabel and I are doing ok but missing Jeff terribly. The phone calls a few times a day are just not cutting it anymore. We looked into getting a flight for Jeff to come home for a weekend but the cheapest tickets we could find were $500 once all the fees were added on--and that's on SALE!! When you are saving for an expensive move that is just not an affordable purchase. As of today there are 29 days left before he's home to help pack the moving truck. Looking ahead to that!

Packing is a bit of a headache (and back ache!) but its good to go through things and throw out the trash. i love the purge! I'd love to post pictures of the chaos but I doubt anyone would find it very interesting. My landlord is planning to start showing this place over the next couple of days so I'm trying to make sure there is space to walk around and look. I'll be very glad when its all over. Hopefully then I will have something truly interesting to write about.

Back to packing!!
