I can't believe it's only been a week since we arrived! We've laboured from sun-up 'til sundown every day for the last week trying to get unpacked and settled in. Here are a few notes on things that happened and that still need to happen:
- 80% of the boxes are unpacked; garage and office still loom
- Got a Costco membership; we've resisted for years, but with gas $.10/litre less at Costco, there wasn't much of a choice!
- Elizabeth applied for PT job at Ashley Furniture; with her Alberta mortgage license still in limbo, looking for some short-term income.
- Silas and Ephraim started school; only a half day this week. And the fun begins next week when they start riding the bus!
- Scooter having too many accidents in the house; not sure if it's the cold weather or just confusion about the environment change, but we haven't had problems like this since we first got him!
- Sarah has dropped off a number of resumes and job apps; looking for something soon and on an easy bus route from the house.
- Oliver and I had our first church planning meeting; so much to do!
- Met a couple of neighbors and got a meat pie; what else would you expect as a welcome gift from the French-Canadians next door?!
- Snow, snow, snow! Medicine Hat is on a record pace for snow this winter; we're hoping no one blames us for bringing it from Ontario!
- First chinook; temps went from -16 to +1 in a day - feels like spring already!
