moving....

sorry the blog has been so quiet..... we've been packing & preparing to move. At the end of January we found out that we needed to be out of our current suite by Feb 28th. Our landlady is moving her family to California to be with her husband and is renting out the entire house. So, we spent the beginning of February looking at suites and we finally found one that would work for us, was still close to work, still in our price range and is actually brand new! The house was just finished in the middle of January and the owners just moved in at the beginning of February.

We then needed to start packing and also try to get rid of some items that won't fit in the new place.

I've had to work through some things, but I am finally looking forward to our new place. There are some definite perks - all new appliances (we've had issues with the stove here and the fridge is quite small), more cupboard space, nice new paint job, carpeted living room, but it is only one bedroom (which is larger than our current one) and the kitchen/living area is slightly smaller/different layout.

I've learned how to navigate Craigslist as we searched for a smaller kitchen table & chairs, plus listed some items we no longer need.
