___ & counting. April 7, 2009

Wow.

April came so subtly.

It hit me the other day when I needed to flip the page on my calendar.

It’s here.

Even the outdoors have seemed to have changed for April.

(note the OPEN window)

April really is here.

That means there are only days now between us and the inevitable move.

There are so many things I’m just not prepared to say goodbye to.

Our Kitchen

With all its little nick knacks and mementos that we’ve starred at day after day preparing meals….and thats another thing we’ll miss…

…preparing meals for friends and family. Now, we generally do serve more than a boiled egg, but it was all I had in the fridge!

(It was also expired to, but I ate it anyway.)

I’ll miss our friends popping all the little treats we leave out into their mouths, knowing that there is no need to ask if they can have one.

I’ll miss our southwestern decor while its in storage, it makes me happy and warm just looking at it.

I’ll miss our little cactus’ in our one big window.

(I hope they’ll survive the move)

And of course I’ll miss this little guy

(and his fan club)

However, I am looking forward to:

My new job with Youth Unlimited (Youth for Christ)

Continuing the house hunt, to find that one place that we can welcome our friends and family into.

Reconnecting with old and semi-old friends.

Getting involved with the church again and finding a way to best serve there.

Hooking up with the scrapbooking community that is thriving in Quinte West.

Looking into classes to take on the side, like cake decorating, photography.

Investing time and energy into starting our own small businesses (in photography and hopefully card making).

Starting our own family.

It’s sad to leave, but exciting to go.

But did April have to come to quickly?
