In the last 4 days:
Our house is sold firm!
We have a handful of fixes from the house inspection, but nothing terribly burdensome.
We've signed the papers - it is truly really goodbye to our Ottawa home.
2 trips a day to Ottawa U for Aiden to attend TeenTech camp. In this way the girls are getting highway driving practice... the original intent was for Dad to take him and and a computer and work there to bring him home, but we've needed him at home too much to deal with house buying and selling and moving issues. But highway driving practice for the girls is good as they will be sharing the driving with Mom on the trip to Halifax next week.
Mom and Jasmin had an afternoon date with a Presotea gift card mom found while packing. It was a rather unfortunate attempt as Dad had taken Mom's wallet out of her bag and not put it back so they could only buy one drink and now there is still money on the card... but the afternoon together was wonderful :)
A little bit of packing has been done... not nearly as much as mom would like to do, but she too keeps getting pulled into house buying and selling conversations or other urgent activities.
We hosted meals twice, squeezing in a few more goodbyes - one a meal together that was arranged back near Easter but kept getting put off for various reasons (sickness, busyness, holidays, etc.)
Way too many late nights talking with Halifax team arranging housing and future!
2 mornings of final lane swims with a friend.
And the next 4 days looks like:
We take Jasmin to see her friend face to face for the last time.
Church picnic
Final church service and potluck
Finally proper packing because Monday evening we get the U-Haul and start loading...
Halifax here we come!
