That’s right bloggies, we got the keys to our new and beautiful home today!!! It was a gorgeous day which had originally been forecasted for thunder showers, but ended up being hot, sunny and beautiful.
It was pretty much non-stop the entire day and I’ll warn you right now, eats were on the go and I exceeded my quota for deep-fried potatoes for a while :-D :
Breakfast was a large double double from Tim Horton’s:
I grabbed an apple and a Larabar at around 11:00, but only ended up eating the larabar because I got distracted doing the 2049583 things to do this morning:
As you can see our kitchen is over-flowing with boxes etc:
By the time we went to sign all the documents we were starving and we ended up grabbing Lunch at Mary Brown’s and I had a Big Mary Combo with taters (don’t shoot me):
The the entire day flew by in a flash. We have movers coming tomorrow morning but hubby, dad, MIL and I spent the day loading up the two trucks and two cars with smaller items that we didn’t want to pack into boxes or worry about getting broken (i.e. lamps, plants, end tables, odds & ends and the fridge & freezer contents). We’re only moving to another subdivision in the same general neighbourhood, so it was easy to make trips between the two houses (it’s weird that technically we own two houses right now). Before we knew it, it was after 7:00 and we were beat and hungry. We ended up going to Lefty’s for a well-deserved Supper:
We shared a few appetizers of pita wedges & tatziki and wings & chips (which I didn’t have any of, I only had pita wedges):
I ordered the Lobster Roll & fries (more deep fried potato). I couldn’t help it though because they make the best fries known to man and we no doubt at all more than earned our fare share of today’s indulgences:
I wasn’t crazy impressed with the lobster roll though. It was indeed fresh lobster and they weren’t stingy on it at all, but just a bit too much mayo and celery for my liking and the roll was too crumbly. It didn’t stop me from eating it though!
And I may have mentioned to you guys before that the sellers of our new house left behind a little something to keep me occupied this summer:
OMG this was so much fun! Just bouncing like this did a major calve and hamstring workout and raise the heart rate quite a bit! So fun! I can’t wait to have some fun burning calories this summer! The pics aren’t the greatest because the sun was setting just behind over the trees, but you get the point :-D:
Like father, like daughter:
Tomorrow is the “big” move, but really we’ve hired movers so all the hard work is going to be done for us. My job is to get to the new house early to wait for the Eastlink guy to show up for an “all day appointment” to hook up our cable/internet/phone. I hope I don’t have to wait all day for him, that’s no fun all by my onesome! Oh and we have to change are damn phone number and we’re only moving up the road! Apparently we’re just on the edge of a limit, so we’re in a new exchange. We’ve had that number for 10 years! Pffffft! Bah well, such is life. I’d trade that phone number for a new beautiful home any day :-)
