Hello! It’s been a while! We are busy packing our house up for our move, we have movers coming in on July 22nd to move the heavy stuff that I cannot help my hubby with than on July 23rd we have a 17 foot truck that we rented so we can move everything else, boxes, etc. I really hate moving! We are moving to Airdrie, AB which is about a 20 minute drive North of Calgary, so it’s not to far from where we live now, it’s a much smaller city, in 2007 they had a population of 31,512, so much smaller than Calgary, it’s going to be an adjustment but, we are excited, the kid’s will be going to a brand new school only 1 year old, currently there is only about 256 kids in the school (K-4), & only a 5 min drive down a back road so it’s going to be really nice. We are moving into a brand new townhouse, downsizing but, apparently not by much, it just seems smaller because of the floor plan!
We have been busy entertaining the kid’s - playing in the sprinkler, going to the waterpark, visiting many parks, The Canada Day Parade in Airdrie, the Telus World of Science, we spent the day at the Calgary Stampede, The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth with visitors from all over the World, since Westjet (where my hubby works) is a corporate sponsor we always get to attend a Stampede breakfast the first Saturday after Stampede starts & watch some bull riding (breakfast with the bulls!), this year we also saw bronco riding & some much younger kid’s bull ride, & some other events, I have never seen so many Cowboy’s get stepped on by the bull’s, what a tough & dangerous sport, these Cowboy’s are amazing & TOUGH. My heart as in my throat the whole time.
Of course I haven’t been able to stamp or create anything fun, but, we have taken ALOT of pics (OK hubby has!), I miss it alot & hopefully sometime in August I’ll be up & running again, so for all of you that are still reading my blog…I thank you, if you have read this post this far I am posting some links to some web galleries that I have created in Picasa just to show you what we have been up to…ENJOY!
