Here is our last month, in pictures. Not in the right order though, thanks to Blogger.
Ken and I went away, by ourselves, to Harrison Hot Springs for a couple of days. It was wonderful. This is the view from the balcony. We also had a nice view of the gardens from the window. We got a complimentary upgrade, which was wonderful, b/c their older rooms aren't all that nice. I have to say, I love it here. It's just lovely and relaxing. The only downfall is that there aren't any really cheap places to eat. Although, the buffet breakfast was included in our package, so that helped and it was really good too.
Camping! Here's Joshua pumping up the air mattress, which sometime between then and bedtime developed a tear, so deflated and we ended up sleeping on the rocks. Oh the joy. Thankfully one of the other couples we went with, who was only staying one night, left theirs with us, so the second night was a lot better.
Victoria, in front of the parliment buildings. We had a lovely weekend, staying with friends of Ken's who moved out there a while ago.
Joshua and friend playing in the sand. As you can tell from the clothes they are wearing, it wasn't really a beach day. But we all had a lot of fun anyway. It was a really neat beach. We found some sea enemies (sp?) and they kept Joshua fascinated for a good 1/2 hour.
On the ferry to Victoria. Always fun. Joshua was excited to go on the "big boat."
So, here are our new digs. I couldn't believe all the stuff we had to bring along. But we managed to fit everything into our room. Things have been going really well so far at the in-laws. Joshua loves seeing his cousins all the time. It's funny how they get so excited to see each other and then 10 minutes later they are fighting like cats and dogs over some toy. But he does miss his Daddy, as do I, and keeps asking when he's coming back on the big plane.
Cleaning: a whole day affair, who would've thought. That's what happens when you are a bit too obsessive about having every inch sparkling clean. Good heavens, if I ever have to move out of a house, it might take a week to clean it:)
All our furniture when into storage. We decided to go with containers, which was great, because they delievered them right to our door. We packed it up. They took them away. No back and forth with a van or truck. And then when we know where we are going to be in six months, we just call them up and they deliver it right to our front door to unload. Let me tell you it was worth the money.
Boxes, boxes everywhere!!
I never realized how much stuff we had collected over the past four years until we had to pack it all up. I even got rid of a lot, but we still seemed to have masses of stuff.

So that's the last month, crazy, yet loads of fun. And now that Ken is gone, reality has started to set in. We miss him a lot, but it helps to be surrounded by family. Although six months kind of feels like 10 years to me right now. But hopefully, we can fly out to see him in a couple of weeks, before I get too pregnant:)
