We will probably be without internet for a few days, maybe a week! I feel like I'm heading into withdrawal... I didn't even know what the internet was when I was a kid. And our first computer didn't have a desktop background or anything. Just a blinking little bar... Even now I don't consider myself very technically savvy, but the internet. Now that's something I really use to communicate with people and check up on everyone! Hopefully I will not miss seeing those first pictures posted of Grant, my amazing new nephew! :)
Off to finish packing, then to move our little lives. I have thought about how good this house has been for us. How nice it's been to start a family here, despite some inconveniences. The house is special to me because we made it a home, and we loved it so it loved us back. I think 3825 will always be fond of us, just as we will of it. No matter all the differences with the landlord and manager, 3825 knows who we are. Has seen how we live, has watched us love and grow here. It's almost like we will still share a secret with this house long after we leave. So goodbye and thank you, little house. I will hold nothing against you. I will think of you fondly. I will remember the country roads that saw many walks/runs/bike rides...
The other side of the coin is a longer story full of injustice and tears. So we move :) I have learned some lessons here. Not just about being more careful about who we business with in the future, or keeping meticulous records. I have learned about myself. And I'm going to stop there, and just think about those nuggets rather than tell you about them...
I am looking forward to settling into our little duplex, with the ugly brown carpet that I knew Ron would love. That's exactly what he said when he saw it :) It's always exciting to arrange things in a new place. Tomorrow I will set up my kitchen.
The other day I killed a banana spider. Countless cockroaches have been squashed here. I don't go barefoot in my own house. Today a mouse scurried out of my way. These are things I won't miss. But I'm sure it could be worse :) Regardless, I don't think the new place will have the kind of problems we've had here with pests!
Rather anticlimatic way to end this post, but I must be going! Ron is home for his 6 day "weekend" and we are excited to pack!!

Happy moving! I wish I could bring donuts and take James for a walk in your new neighborhood while you lift and tote! Instead I will be teaching Ruth to make zucchini relish and salsa, and maybe vacuumn the basement steps; I've begun to dream about those enormous dust rabbits, so I suppose it is time.
