Leaving on a JET PLANE.....

(well at least a first.. and after each of the 4 flights...getting into smaller and smaller planes!)

The last week has gone by in a blur....getting ready for the packing/moving company to come on the 9th was a job in itself...but after experiencing the JOY of packers...I'm not sure I can go back to the move it YOURSELF method again!

I had 3 wonderful days up in Haliburton---visiting my family...playing with my nephews, and visiting with my older brother and sis-in-law...( having lots of fun..playing stickers and cutting paper---hearing... "ok Aunt Sarah, are you ready? come play...I need you" Which was so enjoyable... also being able to use my NEW camera and get TONS of awesome shots of the two munchkins!!!!

Friday all day I was fighting something.. and I was denying that I was sick.... and THEN Saturday morning I KNEW that I had to do something about it? So what did I do?... go get my hair DYED of course..(back to natural colour...but still is shocking me in the mirror...it's been awhile (like 3-4 yrs I've been a natural gal)....)after this I waited at the walk in clinic for some anti-botics... the doc thought it was perhaps strep; and gave me some good old drugs....

After a Saturday of craziness... trying to complete the odd jobs at my apartment.. move some furniture my mom wanted to my brother's house.. and all kinds of other drama...(thank goodness my family loves me bc I'm not a fun person to be around when i'm sick...Actually i'm a big GRUMP... added the stress factor of leaving to go north to LIVE in just 2 days... well you are probably glad that you didn't see my Saturday... and I'm actually really glad those that did see me are still talking to me!!!)

At 11:30pm last night I finished packing my bags I'm flying with... all 8 of them... yep I'm a classy gal... flying with 3 pieces of luggage and 5 pieces of matching rubbermaid tubs... oh PURE class here!!!!

Sunday was a great day.... I went to church... and felt sooooo loved and appreciated... (a week ago Saturday they surprised me with a going away 'tropical themed party' complete with the limbo...(oh yes they know how to party) so wasn't really expecting something...but yes there was cake, many hugs, and many many goodbyes......

So as I sit here thinking I need to sleep because I have to be because my ride to the airport is picking me up at 5:15am... here's what's on my mind........ "if I get up at 4:45am do I have time to shower? do I want to shower before sitting on 4 different airplanes? what if I just don't sleep?" hmmmm those last two aren't such a good options I think.....

I'll try to update this once I get north....... please just be patient... as I set up internet and phone lines and all that good stuff.....Good Night!!

I know you have been super stressed. I know changing your whole life is going to be a huge challenge. But I KNOW that God planned this for you. And I KNOW you are going to love it.

As I said last night, I'll be praying for you today (and many days!) Can't wait to hear more news from the north to find out how you are settling in.

Living vicariously through your fun and excitement,
Me. :)
