Luckiest Girl on Earth

I am exhausted. I've been seriously non-stop for days! Sleep has been interrupted by Chandler meowing about the house wondering where his food is lol He's spending hours just exploring the new digs and is too timid to stay outside, just goes about 5 feet and comes right back in (I like that, it makes me feel better about him getting lost!). Lucy is adjusting better than we expected and pretty much acts like she's hasn't moved anywhere. That said, she spent the entire time barking on the back patio when the movers were moving our stuff in the house (I bet our new neighbours were thrilled about who was moving in next door!)

Eats have been less than stellar, but each and every extra calorie earned. The less than stellar part would be my lack of hydration when I needed it the most, just too pre-occupied to remember to drink water. I am now working on drinking lots of water today.


I could not be happier with our new home :-) So far there have been moments when I would just stare at everything and I literally couldn't speak because I felt so overwhelmed with my new surroundings. Those who know me in "real life" know how far I have come from where I grew up. Leap and bounds doesn't quite articulate it. Each and every thing that I have or have ever done has been earned and not having anything ever handed to me made me a better person. I appreciate every single thing I have in my life and I think about it often. I even teared up a few times because it was all so surreal. While unpacking and getting settled, I now randomly just bellow out random facts about the house like, "Hey honey, we have a garage!" (Which I certainly don't have to remind him about since he's pretty much lived in there since we moved in! lol), or, "OMG I have a friggin walk-in closet!"


FYI - bubble bath and jucuzzi tubs are to be combined only very carefully! lol What a sight!


Many people are bugging me to post pictures of our house on Facebook. I dunno though, the last thing I want to do is to appear to anyone like I'm showing off my new house and bragging. That's just not my style. I'd actually feel quite uncomfortable with it. Our new home is ours to enjoy and not a symbol of anything to anyone, know what I mean? I dunno, maybe I'll feel differently later and change my mind, but that's how I feel for now.


Oh and what are the chances that we'd move in right next door to a couple from Newfoundland who lived in Lab City for a while? Doesn't surprise me in the least! (Some of you are familiar with the amazing branches of community that are associated with a place like Labrador City (where hubby is from) .) Oh and the family that lives across the road used to live on the street that we just moved from. Freaky!
