Life on the road......

I was hoping to do an update with pictures but I can't figure out how to get them off their location on the iPad to my post. Any one know how???

We left home on July 28th to drive across country to our "new" home. We made is safely here in 6 days with lots of adventure across the country. We played for the day in Ottawa and it was neat to take the kids to the musuem and parliament hill.

We are on day 12 of hotel living.......and I'm ready for it to be done.....I don't mean to complain about not having the clean or cook but at this point its gotten old and overrated. I miss eating yummy healthy meals and I am sick of paying a fortune to wash our laundry. Another 12 days and I get my furniture etc back and I can't wait.

Our new town is nothing like home.......it's going to be an adjustment for me. The big stores are Walmart, Superstore, Canadian Tire and Staples. Arent you jealous?? We will be doing monthly trips to the city. No good clothes shopping for the kids here which is frustrating too. I'm trying to find the good in it all and I think it will be easier when life is a little more normal. We went to church on Sunday. They might have had 25 people there. So tough for the kids where our ward back home was so big. They are super friendly and welcoming so thats a huge bonus.

I must be off.....on my own to entertain the kids today. Trying to figure out what we will do. Maybe some swimming and a playground adventure. Hope to hear from everyone near and far. I'm missing home a lot but extremely grateful for the blessing of this change in our life and what security it brings for us. Hope to be able to post with some pictures soon, anxious to start renos in the new house. It looks so big compared our old home.
