Taking a huge deep breath....

I am about to have some info confirmed or denied that with possibly change our lives.
While I have to remain tight lipped about it for now. Say a little prayer or jsut send happy thoughts my way.... At any rate I will post about this info soon.

Here are some things that have been on my mind...

1.) Stay here or go home...
2.) Continue with a mediocre career or go back to school...
3.) Plan a trip home to see my family (gosh I miss my sister!)
4.) Plan a fab camping trip for my son...

Just a few things I have been thinking about lately..


Love,

I'm baaaack!

Wow, it has been a really really long time. 3 months since I stopped blogging. First as you all know we were given a decision to make about relocating on the other side of the country. It was a scary decision but one we knew our family was strong enough to withstand. Once we arrived here we had a spell of very bad luck. We were in a hotel for ages and just on June 1st did we finally move into what we now call home. It is temporary, we just had to take anything (it's a rental and not very big, We all feel crowded). There is a terrible housing crisis here in Edmonton, meaning the prices are now sitting at an average of 500k for a standard 3 bedroom home with no frills. OUCH! Too high for us at the moment. rentals are at a 1% vacancy rate. So all that is available are your little dank dark apartments. We were really fortunate to find a beautiful place albeit small. So many things have happened since the move, we are definitely a stronger family, and we all are homesick, but feel this could be a permanent move for us. Edmonton is WONDERFUL despite the hardships we have endured. One thing I can safely say is I wish we moved slower and took more time, and I wish we had found a place to live before moving. Living a "rock star" life in a hotel eating nothing but take out got VERY old VERY fast...

Lastly, I should have continued to ask myself "What would Martha do?" LOL!! Planning planning and more planning, that's what she would have done!

Sorry it's been so long. I hope you'll all come back and see me regularly as I have some HUGE news to reveal very soon!
