how funny that this blog is now up again. It's been a long time, but it seems as tho we are in a very similar spot. This time we are NOT selling it all, but we are packing it all in. Again we are going where we've never been before, one big difference is that we are staying in Canada.
Oh boy, where do I start.....
First off, we have been planning this new adventure for a while now, maybe ever since we landed here nearly 4 years ago. WoW, 4 years Winnipeg ~ that's a record!!! Back in January Chris & I sat down & talked about staying for one more year, or selling in that spring. It was a much harder decision then I would have ever imagined. We went back and forth with strong feelings for a long time, and although we decided to stay, that was very VERY short lived. It turned out that we put the house up for sale July 17th, and like the optomistic gypsies that we are, we left on vacations (work & pleasure) and figured the house would sell before we got back.
WRONG
What happened to the housing market over the summer is anyones guess, and after waiting nearly 3 months & having only 1 offer (and a horrible one at that), we figured that the best decision was to wait out the winter & start again in the Spring. (our initial decision) So I got a job, we started unpacking, and had fully resigned to staying the winter.
WRONG (again).
What happened now? Quick showing & a quick offer! And now, like 5 years ago, I am packing up a big house to fit into a small storage locker & looking for the best deal for our trip. Admittedly I'm not totally unprepared. But I think the biggest thing is that we don't have a home town destination. A bit scary yes, but if I don't think about it too much, it's not so bad.
I wanted to add the photos of our house before I forget and we lose them somewhere. I don't think we have any of the Edmonton house, and that makes me sad. so here you go!
Next Post.... where are we going?????
