It's hard to believe that we have only two nights left in Canada.
The last couple of days have been incredibly busy. We have been cleaning, giving things away and throwing out things like a couple of mad men. We have had lots of last minute visits (thank you Brenda and Ken for the treats), Scott and Donna, Dianne and Terry, and Dayna and Kevin. We sincerely want to say a thousand thank you's to everyone who helped with everything - it would have been very difficult to do everything ourselves. Thank you Mark and Carol for letting us use your trailer for the last month and letting us store our baby with you. Thank you to Rick for your help too!
Hailey was here for a visit this weekend from Airdrie and although we didn't get to see her very much, it was really nice to see her before we left.
So, I think all the Christmas gifts are distributed although no stockings will be hung by the fire this year. They will have to be hung from the banana tree by the pool. Hopefully Santa will "think" we have been nice and will find us sipping cocktails by the pool.
So, tomorrow our adventure begins by us turning over the keys to the landlord and we make our way to a hotel with all our worldly possesions hung over our shoulders...well, actually six very large suitcases and two dogs in kennels. We head for the Kelowna airport at 8 am on Wednesday and we are on our way......
I write this this entry with very mixed emotions and no humour this time. I am so excited I could scream but I have to admit I have shed a tear or two for everything I am leaving behind in friendships and family. All the friendships we have made we dearly treasure and hope that our family and friends do find the time to visit us in our new home.
Esperamos oír de usted pronto y el amor a todo el mundo.
(We hope to hear from you soon and love to everyone!)
