a photo essay of our life...

yes, it's true. the house sold... papers signed, sticker up... sold.
the new owners take posession on August 28th but we'll be long gone by then!
we get our new place in Vancouver on September 1st, which means we'll be homeless for a week, living the life of the streets. just kidding... we're road-tripping west with a stop for a few days in calgary to see our new niece and nephew along with my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew.

with the sale of our home we've started putting things in boxes for storing or packing. it's a lot of stuff to go through and it's hard to know what to take and leave, but as you can see, some decisions are easier than others...

while going through our stuff we came across our own personal action figures that were bought for us a couple of years ago by a friend. she was in ikea and saw these in the children's section (and believe it or not they were even packaged together...)

lydia is back to work 2 days a week and doing a great job as a nurse!! she is in a different unit now as the hospital has had a lot of shuffling going on over the past year. she has already secured a job out west at the hospital across the street from Regent. way to go lyd!!

and of course, with all the work going on in our lives we have to make sure we find lots of time to play. we've been at the beach quite a bit as the weather has been great this past week...

and what good is the beach if you can't eat a little sand while you're there?
