Packing up!

Finally received word tonight. We will be moving into a house on Rumble Street in mid-August. It's in a great location for us. The high school is across the street (and Calum's daycare too), there is an outdoor public pool next to the high school so Calum and I will spend the last couple of weeks of August splashing about. There is a market on the next block, and a 7-11, a grocery store, video store and bank just two blocks up. We will also be 5 blocks away from the skytrain station and can even walk to the mall.

The house is older than the one we are in now (read as "a house with character needing a little TLC"). The owners live next door and will let us do some painting and we can have pets! We can move in on August 1st but don't have to be out of this house till August 15th. I don't know our moving date yet but we want to spend a little time painting the bedrooms and doing some touch ups.

So, now begins the packing. We've made a good start so far. Pictures are taken off the walls, Dakota and Don and I have packed up most of our bedroom stuff, our office is about half packed, all of our books are packed and I've sorted a load of stuff for donations already. Poor Calum has even had some of his toys and books packed. It's going to be a busy couple of weeks. Can you believe July is almost over?

Boxes....yup, we could use some more. I'm beginning to wish we had a lot less stuff. How did we get so much stuff?
