We've Arrived!!!!

I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything, but between packing, cleaning, driving, unpacking, cleaning, etc. there has not been much extra time. Here's a glimpse into the past week:

Wednesday-Headed back to Omaha from Bloomfield to finish packing and to clean the house.
Thursday - Cleaned some more and picked Jason up from the airport. Headed back to Bloomfield.
Friday - Spent the day at Creighton visiting the grandparents. Supper with my family.
Saturday - Left Bloomfield at 6:30 a.m., drove 14 hours to Great Falls, spent the night at Jason's parents house.
Sunday - Spent the day in Great Falls.
Monday - Left at 7 a.m. to head for Alberta. Arrived in Edmonton/Sherwood Park around 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday - Woke up to snow. Jason went back to work and I ran some errands.
Wednesday - Internet and phone hooked up. Furniture arrived.
Today - Jason's parents are on their way. I have spent a majority of the morning calling people and surfing the web (I'm getting my fix since I haven't had phone or internet for a few days). Now I must started unpacking!

I have lots of photos and videos to share. Stay tuned......

Monday's Project











I thought I would post some photos of my project for the day. I'm packing the office and my closet today. I'm currently at the point where things are worse before they get better. I'll post more photos tonight and HOPEFULLY it will look better.

CityTV visits the office

CityTV's Bridget Ryan, who is originally an American by the way, stopped by with a camera man to surprise one of our assistants in the office, Agata, who won Edmonton's best administrative professional award.

She was surprised to say the least as everyone in the lower level and some on the second floor knew about it. She was "told" it was a crew coming in to do an interview about School Safety Patrol - for which she replied in her Ukranian accent, "DOWN HERE?"

Things are moving right along now. The weather is turning for the worse though as flurries are forecasted for tomorrow. But it's supposed to warm back up next week. Missing Amanda, but we're less than 3 weeks now!

Talk to you later.

10 Random Thoughts and Things To Do

1. I am so thankful for my friend Jessica. I went over to her super cool Old Market apartment tonight for our favorite...TACO SALAD. She's about the only other person in this world that gets as excited about taco salad as I do. And, after chatting for awhile she pretty much read her mind...ICE CREAM.
2. Missing my hubby like crazy!
3. Feeling good about school...passed my comprehensive exams, well on my way to completing my project and only 5 or so more pages to write on a paper before I am done with the semester.
4. CRAP...now that school is almost over, what am I going to do now? Any ideas?
5. Feeling better about the state in which my house is in (thank you soooooo much Molly). Moving is as horrible as I remember!
6. Can't believe the new wardrobe I bought for my DOG!!!! She will need warm 'clothes' for the winter ahead....right? Pictures to come...
7. Tomorrow is my first day of getting up at 5:30 a.m. to workout. I need to get in shape so I have just as much fun shopping for myself as I did shopping for my dog (she can fit into an XS, I can't!).
8. Mow the lawn...anyone want to do that for me?
9. Does anyone even read this?
10. Buy vinegar tomorrow.
