All Done!!

Okay, been a while. Obviously I've been busy with moving and everything. We unpacked almost everything really quickly this time. The house is all set up, and we've even had people over a few times. The only room not dome is the one I am sitting in. My studio needs a few things put up before I can actually start unpacking a lot, and rearranging, etc.

This place is great! The view is fantastic, and on the rare occasion when the weather has been nice, we have even sat out on the balcony and sipped coffee, staring out at the bay. The clouds have parted nicely a couple of days, and we can see the islands towards Vancouver Island, beyond Point Roberts. We see Semiahmoo Bay, he resort on the peninsula, and the central to southern part of Blaine. We were sitting at Paso del Norte last night, eating nachos and deep fried ice cream, wondering if we could see our place. Of course, it was dark, so - no; but I will check it out from our balcony later with binoculars, and see if I recognize the outside of the restaurant.

The move went really well, as it should, considering the amount we ended up paying :) But on the bright side, the very bright side, our old landlord unexpectedly paid for most of our moving costs by giving us not only our damage deposit, but the equivalent of a month's rent. So we got our deposit back, plus almost the moving costs - very nice - very unexpected - definitely a blessing :)

So, now that we are completely out of the beach house, and in the ocean-view condo, we are really starting something new; something different. We have changed a lot of things in our lives. We adopted out our bird even before we knew we were moving, we no longer have Louie (more on that later), and we "sold" our salt water aquarium. Some of these things were a distraction to what we really wanted to do, and what we really wanted in our lives. now, if we could only figure out what that something is.

Later on today we are having our home group meet here. This will be the second time we have met at our place, and the first time here, of course. We like hosting it, but John and Dorothy like hosting , too, and we would never take that away from them. I like having people over, and I hope we can start doing it more often again.

I think that is the something I am talking about. I miss people.

Well, more later, I have to get ready for work.
