Well the house is empty and the stuff is gone. It's be a long hard couple of weeks preparing for this next phase of our lives. We've had a few glitches here and there and I'm sure there will be more to come. Unexpected little things that can potentially cause great frustration if we let it. We are now sleeping on a queen size air mattress, and the kids on these great camping cots that friends have loaned us. AND we are watching tv on a tiny 8 eight size screen. It's amazing what the boys have learned to cope with!!!! Work ended for me on Friday, June 9, 2006 just over 11 years to the date of employment with Canadian Blood Services. (I started June 5, 1995). My colleagues treated me to a fabulous italian seafood dinner at Bombolini's (Linguine alla Paradisio--pasta with scallops, shrimp, mussels in a dill sauce...YUM!) They also dug deep into their pockets and bought me a silver chain and pendant that reminds me of the color of the ocean. It was definitely an emotional time. Now we are working on closure for the children. Two going away parties to plan and execute before our travel date of June 27. Our last days in Canada are filling up fast with coffees, lunches, and dinners out with friends and family. These last 2 weeks are sure to go quickly!!
