Run Around

So today I went into London to pick up a few items for our new place...I left Zurich and drove to London. Then I decided to drive out to a town called Ridgetown to look at a really cute couch and chair. The directions I had were to drive about an hour west on the 401. Well, I drove an hour west on the 402 (which you can see is very far from where I was supposed to be). Then I decided that since there was someone waiting for me, that I should drive down there anyway. Another hour later, I finally hit Ridgetown. After that adventure I drove back to London and then up to Zurich. It's amazing how one little wrong turn can be so far off...

A Month in Review...

Wow, almost a whole month has past since our arrival to Ontario. It has been a roller coaster ride to say the least. We've been taken in by Bob's Aunt Ann and Uncle Bob in Zurich (which is a 45 minute drive NW of London). Bob's Aunt is a Pastor for the Lutheran Church and so we've been staying in the parsonage. They have been wonderful in every way. Initially, we tried to purchase a house but some unforeseen road blocks have detoured us for now. We'll be renting a beautiful little duplex starting on August 1--however, our belongings are still in transit from Calgary and Ann and Bob have taken off for a much need vacation so we're house sitting here for a couple more weeks. Hopefully the moving company will be able to deliver our stuff this weekend but it's more likely that we'll get it next week.

Bob has had a very good interview and we're still praying that he gets the job. It would be perfect for him and allow him to use both his geography and biology degrees (which would be nice because we spent so much $$ to put him through school).

Thank you to all our family and friends...for your prayers and karma and good thoughts, for your letters and phone calls. I miss my family and friends so much. Feel free to send care package anytime!

Finally Some Photos!

Thanks to Dee-Ann our family (my parents and siblings) had our first EVER family pictures taken. I have to admit, I was really worried because it rained all day until about 30 minutes before pictures. We didn't have a back up indoor place to have the pictures taken and I'm moving on Monday night to Ontario. Lucky for us, there was a break in the weather, long enough to do the pictures...then it rained again. Dee-Ann was wonderful and did a fantastic job (as you can see). Big thanks to her hubby/assistant, Scott for the direction and management of people. Thanks again, Dee-Ann!!
