And we’re back. And just in time for a VERY long over due post. I’m sorry I haven’t been as on top of this as I normally am, but things have been a little busy around here to say the least.

First off we are IN OUR NEW HOUSE. There are the first of many pictures sure to be taken in our new home. And yes, I finally feel like I have a home again. Apartments and Townhouse were great, but they were not homes. Just temporary places to hang my hat and pay bills :-). Speaking of paying bills, as the first mortgage payment came out yesterday, I can say with certainty that we have a house.

Now, on to some over due thank you’s. First Off, we’d like to thank Jeff and Cathy for the new fridge. Looks great, keeps my pop cold, what else could you ask for?  Also would like to thank Uncle Mark, and Aunt Judy for their surprising and generous gift of a new dishwasher (which happens to match our new fridge, stove and microwave!). And also thanks to Uncle Brett and Aunt Val for the use of the truck and also helping furnish our new home. (Especially the new throne for the king in the living room).

We would also like to thank Grandma and Grandpa, Mary Jane and Dave, and Jim, Alicia and Erle for their wonderful but very unnecessary house warming gifts.

And last but most certainly not least, Shannon and I would like to express a heart felt thank you to my Mom and Dad for well.. Everything. For helping us get packed, get loaded into the u-haul, get the u-haul (and several truck and van loads) unloaded, getting the stuff in and organized into our new house and just plain being there for us.  I can’t put into words how much we appreciate all the hard work you two put in for us over the past 2 weeks. I will make sure you guys get the very best old peoples home OHIP can buy when the time comes 🙂 Kidddding momma, Dad build the 4th bedroom over the 3rd car bay, and you can have it 🙂 . You know we love ya’s.

I’m sure I am forgetting to thank people, but that’s just ’cause I’m an absent minded fool trying to remember the last few weeks. Feel safe in assuming Shannon and I appreciate all help that we got. 🙂
