I keep forgetting that I am an hour and a half ahead of my family. For some reason I keep thinking we are still behind him by 3 hours. It's almost 9:30pm here (Newfoundland) but for some reason I was thinking it was after midnight EST. Boy was I off! It took me a few months to get into MST (mountain standard time), I wonder how long it will take me to get into being in NT (Newfoundland time)?
We arrived in Newfoundland on Wednesday morning and after about 6 hours of driving across Newfoundland, we made it "home". It feels so great to be here. The weather is pretty chilly right now but it's really nice. I'm hoping to get out and take some pictures this afternoon, if the weather holds up.
As for our drive across Canada, it was filled with a lot of bumps in the road - literally. We had so many detours and "issues" along the way but alas, we're here and safe and that's all that matters.
I'll be spending the next week or so trying to get caught up on everything (visiting folks, commenting and getting back into the loops). Honestly, it might take longer than a week, haha.
Anyway, just wanted to check in and let everyone know we made it here safely!
With any luck, this time tomorrow we will be ending our first day of driving for a trip across Canada to Newfoundland. We were planning to leave this morning but that did not work out once we found out our apartment manager could not stop in for a final walk through until today.
I am seriously ready to get this show on the road, not only because of how long the drive will be but also because I am so excited about getting in Newfoundland. I know we are going to be so much happier there.
Well, in a few more days we will be heading out for Newfoundland. By late next week I will be writing here from there. I cannot wait, though I am a little nervous about the trip and the ferry ride. Hopefully things go as planned.
We will be staying with some of my husband's relatives on our second night. I have never met any of them before, so it should be fun, interesting and nerve wracking, huh? I am pretty excited about it, so I am trying not to think about my nervousness too much.
Though we do not have that much, we still have so much packing to do. Most of our things consist of clothes, shoes and of course, my handbags but we also have to figure out the furniture thing. We are not sure at this point if we are going to bother with a Uhaul or not but if we decide against it, we have to figure out what to do with our larger furniture. The desks and chairs will be fine. All we will have to do is take them apart and put them back in their boxes. No worries about those at all. There is just so much to think about and only about 3 weeks to figure it all out. Yikes!
Jo will have his last session of physiotherapy on October 9th, so we are looking at a "move" date of about the 11th or 12th. I cannot even begin to tell you about how excited I am about living near his family, especially his mom and grandparents. I was so worried that Christmas was going to be a big depressing mess. Not now though. It is going to be great, I just know it!
