We've been fulltime for a week already and just now we are decompressing from a crazy start to this life. We had a plan that went out the window with all the freezing weather in the north east and meeting someone that has made us so happy.
We had the family spend Christmas in the house for last time but when they were to leave the weather cancelled all the flights and travel arrangements. Our window for packing up the house began to get smaller and smaller. We finally got everyone out of the house, after multiple trips to different terminals in horrible conditions. (Once almost smacking up my treasured truck) It was OK, house was closing on Jan.10, we can still do this!
Now the reason we were in Canada in this weather at all was because we were expecting our first grandchild Dec. 27. Hey we figured Dec 27 to Jan 10, spend a little time with our new favourite person in the world and hit the road. Well we waited and tried to do things around the house, and waited and waited until time was running out! Our new bundle of joy finally decided to make his appearance on Jan. 7. This took any thought of packing and moving stuff completely out of our heads and all we did was make funny faces and noises at the little guy for two days.
We did manage to get out of the house on the 10th, get organized over the weekend, with multiple breaks to see the grandbaby and hit the road on Tues. Jan. 14!
We are now in Florida enjoying the weather (even if they say it is colder than normal, it still feels good to us Canadians).
I could not be happier right now. See you on the road!
