Blades of Glory!

Bob and I went to see Blades of Glory tonight and it was awesome! It was so funny. I really love Jon Heder and Will Farrell and this was fantastic to see them together...even with the uni-tard and the glitter...I also love the cameos by other fabulous actors and Olympic Athletes. Scott Hamilton was one of the announcers. If you get the chance, go see it!

Count Down to Departure

We are preparing to send Bob off next week--Tuesday, actually. He'll be staying in Zurich, ON with his aunt and uncle while he settles into work and finds us a place to live. I have to admit that I am a little nervous. Bob is a wonderful husband and a VERY devoted dad. He is, by far, my better half. He is the one who does bedtime with the kids--even though it takes him and hour to read stories--the kids love it and I love the break. Right now, we're not sure when the rest of us will be moving out there. It could be August. We've never been apart longer than 2 weeks so I imagine the phone conversations will be long. He has always been my best friend and it will be hard to have him so far for so long...

Keep Posted

This is an experiment--if you subscribe to our blog, you can be notified when I update it with new posts. I think, if it works, this should be an awesome way to know when my blog is updated!

Week Two - Indigo

This is my photo for the year of color. I actually had a picture for last week's "Yellow" too but it was too awful to publish...This one is a little better. This week's color is "Indigo" and for my picture I chose a Oriental Tea Set I have. I love this tea set--I think it's beautiful with it's striking color and design.

If you'd like to see some fantastic photos, go to Dee-Ann's site. She's my inspiration for this project. You can also participate in this "Year of Color" through her site.

Elizabeth's Birthday

Here is the next installment of the, "I am so Loved" collection. This one is for Elizabeth, a cherished daughter, sister and friend. The big contributer for this edition is, Kati. Thank you so much for your time and talents to make this book possible.

Heather's Birthday

Heather--the beautiful baby of the Condron family. This is the second book in the "I am so Loved" collection. This is a result of fantastic coordination and dedication with Kati.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

So, I guess once something is published on the blog, it is definitely true. Over the past few weeks, I've had the intuition that something big was coming. I know there are those out there who would like to hear that we are having more children--WE ARE NOT!

Bob graduated last summer and has been looking for a job in the "environmental/geographical" fields and hasn't been able to find one. We are taking our family and moving east to the London, Ontario area. This comes as a huge shock to everyone, including me. I never thought I would be leaving Calgary and more importantly, my family and friends. This is going to be a wonderful thing for our family and for Bob...but so hard to leave all those we have grown to love.

Bob will be leaving in a few weeks to secure employment and a home and the kids and I will be following during the summer. I want to emphasize that while we will be far from here (and coming back to visit often) we will be very close to the Great Lakes and only a day trip from New York City and Washington DC. When planning your vacations--please consider coming to see us.

This is going to be very difficult for me to leave my Mom and my sisters (in-laws included). I have been very close to them and rely on them so much. They are my very best friends and it breaks my heart to leave them. The greatest,most wonderful, fantastic consolation? We have family on Bob's side that will be moving out to the London area about the same time. (I'm not telling who it is but you can call 403-912-2333 for more clues...) It does bring me peace to know that we will still be close to them. Bob also has many aunts, uncles and cousins all around that area that we look forward to seeing.

Stay tuned to more updates...
