And we're off!

After three and a half crazy days of garage sale, purging, packing into the storage unit and moving into the trailer, and getting the house ready for the buyers, at noon on Monday we officially became full timers.  What a weird feeling.  We are homeless, and yet we’re not. 

I had intended to blog yesterday, but everything ended up just a little crazier than expected and I ran out of battery power.  Go figure. We spent the night at Walmart in Airdrie, because we needed time to regroup and figure out where to stick all our stuff!    

This is what it looked like after we first tackled it (it was way worse to begin with). 

Now, most of the boxes and buckets have been unpacked and we’ll need to make a run to the storage unit to drop them off.  And start the purging! It’s easy to pack it all in, harder to find places for it all!

We moved from Airdrie up to Carstairs, a small town about 25 min north. We have activities in Airdrie or Calgary pretty much every day this week, so are sticking close by.  With the Calgary Stampede happening right now the campgrounds closer to Calgary are all full.   But perhaps this is a good thing. Even though Carstairs relatively close by to where we've lived for years, we've never had a chance to explore here.  This will give us the opportunity to. 

This afternoon we're back into Airdrie for haircuts and I think we'll go see a movie.  It's toonie Tuesday at the movie theatre!  

It will be nice to do something "normal" after what has felt like so much craziness.
