I hope that you all understood that this time, “no news, is good news”. Our stuff arrived early Thursday morning, so I bused it down to customs to get it all cleared. I also had the opportunity to ride in the big rig back to the apartment. hehe. It was cool. Our driver was nice and between himself, the other guy, J & I were able to get it all in the apartment in a few short hours.
Then the fun begins really. We are going from a three floor plus garage townhouse, back to an apartment. Challenging to say the least. Yet by and by, all our things are finding homes. Even the gnomes are getting cozy.
On Friday we took a break from unpacking, to join the Chemistry department a their Christmas party. It was so wonderful to meet J’s co-workers and relax a little while. We also were able to see parts of the downtown that we had not seen yet and explore a little.
The last few days have been a blur of unpacking and building furniture. We also took the time yesterday to set up the Christmas tree, enjoy a nice ham and celebrate the season a little. Becca is getting very excited now for Christmas. She received a really nice surprise that I will reveal this coming week.
I am looking forward to getting everything all settled in, so I can kick back and relax a little. J will have to begin preparing for his classes and work soon, so I will have more time to blog and read. Sometimes is still feels surreal that we are here in Canada. Home for Christmas.
Weekend good for you?
A Canadian mom with three cute kids. This blog chronicles our lives my creative pursuits. 
Yay! I’m glad your HHG arrived!! I love unpacking. I wanna move just so I can unpack. heh.
Awesome!
LOL @ Betty, if I ever move again I will call you to unpack ok??
Oh ya mmmmmm ham! I am craving it as of late.
How is the cat? or is it cats? Sorry I can’t remember if you had one or two. I remember Becca was concerned about moving because the last time one died from the shock. I just realized you hadn’t mentioned it and hope that this as also a “no news is good news.”
Skippyjon (the cat) is doing wonderfully! He is relieved to see our gear! Eating a ton … Becca is thrilled he has done so well!
Got your email – that was awesome!
I’m so glad you got your stuff and can relax for Christmas now! (But I wish you were coming here…)
So glad to hear that all is well and that you’re all installed safe and sound.
Best wishes
So glad to hear all is well and your settling in. And you’re kidding right? You were in the 3 bedroom townhome for what? 3 minutes? hehehe
I am glad you are getting settled in. Is J. working for Dal or St. Mary’s or MSVU? Just Curious.
Enjoy your settling! We’re so glad that everything is there in time for Christmas
Have fun!
Yay! Things seem to be going well for you!
yeah I’m so glad your stuff arrived! Is the surprise that her backpack has been found? Oh the anticipation LOL
Nothing like settled-in gnomes for true happiness, I always say….
Oh the unpacking…such fun. There are boxes in my garage I still haven’t unpacked (7 years later). I’m sure you’ll do much better than me.
Yay Stuff!!!!
This brings so much joy to my heart…Yay Yay Yay!!!!
Unpacking sucks, but the fact that you are HOME with your STUFF should really seal the joy!!!!!
YaY!
Oh, so glad to hear all your things are back home & safe with you. Too bad that Becca’s back pack hasn’t miraculously found its way home too.
Well, it sounds like a perfect start to your new, wonderful 2008 year to come.
I hope ours is soon to follow, if we could just sell this darn house…
