A "long" weekend


Thursday we packed up our old home and came to our new one. We delivered the boys to our friend Kendra's parents house to be watched while the loading and unloading of the UHAUL took place. We picked up the boys around 10:30pm and did some last minute cleaning at the old place in the "Park". As I was cleaning the windows, I realized I had over done it and could no longer move my neck and my lower back was bothering me so much. So as we left there, Justin suggested that he take me to the hospital because I was hurting bad! We arrived at the hospital only to see a full parking lot. I went into the emergency room to see what kind of wait it would be and saw a packed waiting room. I stood in line and soon left because there was a woman puking constantly. I was in pain but soon I was going to be puking if I stayed. So we stopped by a gas station that was actually open at 1am and bought some advil. We came to our new home found some sheets and crashed. I awoke to no pain and alot of work ahead of me. Justin stayed home from work to get the rest of our stuff and give our previous landlord our keys. We spent the rest of the weekend unpacking and trying to reastablish some normality and make our new house a home. We had intended on taking in some Canada day festivities but ended up leaving the house at 10pm just in time to catch the capital city fireworks. I would have to say they ranked up there with the "Symphony of Fire". They were the best Canada Day fireworks I had ever seen. Sam watched them from atop Justin's shoulders and I fed Mattias his 11 o'clock feed while watching the fireworks from the ground. It wasn't the most eventful weekend ever but it was nice to spend some quality time together and it was nice for Justy and I to spend some good time catching up.

Glad to hear that you are happy in your new place. We have to get together sometime soon. Maybe this weekend would work? Let us know what you think.
P.S. we liked your place a lot.
