If you haven't already heard, we're moving to Canada! In just two weeks we'll be heading out for Blenheim, Ontario. Trevor has an amazing opportunity working at The Life By Design Centre. Check it out, Life By Design Centre and here Life By Design Centre Facebook.
The best word to describe it is really bittersweet. We love Maine. We love the people in Maine. We love my family. BUT, we have to take this once in a lifetime opportunity for Trevor to be part of an extraordinary centre that is a total health solution combining three world class businesses under one roof- a functional fitness facility, a chiropractic office and a by design cafe.
This opportunity will also allow me to stay home with the kids. I'm looking forward to stress-free mornings and afternoons hanging out with them. I'm excited to go to Tales for Twos at the library with Lincoln, enjoy the lake that will be right outside our door and spend more time with Trevor because he will have a much more balanced schedule.
Ayla is excited for a new adventure, Corinne is getting used to the idea, Sophie changes her mind day to day and Lincoln hasn't said much yet. :) All in all, I'm looking forward to us all being there, getting settled in to every day life and enjoying small town life in Blenheim.
We close on our house March 2nd and plan to leave that day. We'll be arriving in Blenheim Tuesday or Wednesday. My last day of school was yesterday and Trevor will work through the 20th. We'll have a week off together with the kids in daycare and school to get packed. Wish us luck! :)
Ok, so, January. Let's recap the fun things we did, besides deciding to move to Canada, putting our house on the market and giving our notices at our jobs.
We enjoyed both Corinne playing the clarinet and Ayla playing the saxophone at their school band concerts. Ayla also played a duet with her friend. Both concerts were great!
Corinne, Ayla and Trevor enjoyed two nights up at Oatmeal In a Bowl (Jeremy's cabin at Sugarloaf named by Ava). They skied Saturday and Sunday (thanks Grandma Gay for the gift card!) despite the frigid temperatures. With their ski masks bought after only a few runs, they were able to stay warm and have fun! They were all laughing hysterically at the mad libs they created on the car ride- good old fashioned fun! Sophie, Lincoln and I stayed busy that weekend at home having friends over and Sophie enjoyed a Frozen themed birthday party for a friend. She is already planning her own Frozen themed birthday party for June!!
We're looking forward to lots of time spent with friends and family before we leave. It's hard to believe my next update will be from Blenheim, Ontario!
