We are back from our house hunting trip and are very happy. Happy to have it done and happy to have found a house we like. We bought a place in Kingswood, Hammonds Plains and it seems like a really nice neigbourhood. The commute for Mark will be about 30-40 mins. as he goes to work early. Lochlan is registered in school and we found a preschool for Miah. We even drove some vehicles as it's been a few years in the North American market. All in all a productive trip.
I turned 34 while I was there. Mark managed to somehow bake me a cake in the chaos and my family had lobster for dinner...truly spoiled..gotta love the Maritimes:) We also found our house and had our offer accepted at 10:30 pm the night of my birthday, something to celebrate! It had been looking grim the night before as we had seen everything in our price range and the only two that suited us had major problems. Imagine our elation! My hubby also wrote me a beautiful poem in my card. Wow, I can't express how I felt..truly loved and in love, after almost nine years of marriage, a gift!
We also had Easter while we were there. It was great. We had my whole family at Mom and Dad's, had an egg hunt and Turkey dinner and 24C weather. Luuuuvely! We also had a combined Birthday Party as my, both my parents, my niece Emily and Miah's birthday all fall within 24 days of each other. We were able to visit both my brother's and sister's families at their houses, which was a nice treat. The trip would honestly been a horror if it weren't for the help of my family. Having to take the kids and sort it all on our own would not have been fun!
We are truly looking forward to moving home. We've enjoyed our time here but being home makes us realize again how much we miss our family and friends. We're really looking forward to our trip Saskatchewan this summer to catch up with the family we haven't seen there in three years! Here are some pics:
