So much has happened over the past 6 months. About a year ago , we started looking for somewhere else to live. Either in BC or Alberta. It was time for a change. We have spent so much time reno-ing the house, and finally finished it ..the way we have always wanted.....in December. OH BOY.
We picked a location that we thought would be a great place for the kids and us. Mike had an interview for a new job in September and was contacted as soon as we arrived home.
Mike's new boss said that he understood if we wanted to wait, but the job was there, and they would wait.
So in December, Mike went and saw his brother, we took a trip to Grama and Gramp's (in Terrace) for Christmas , and then we went and saw Jason and Sara...And our new neice PIPER!
And then we put the house on the market! 2 weeks later we had this nice little sign in our front yard!
It happened much faster than we planned. So Corbin and I hopped on a plane and flew to Calgary...and then drove to Lethbridge Alberta...YEP we are going to the flatland :)After 4 days of realtors, builders and a bunch of viewings......we purchased a brand new (not even finished yet ) house. It's beautiful , but as you can see we are going to Suburbia! In town...with close neighbours. This will definitely be different. But if we are going to change, I guess we should be able to change everything. And really ....it's a brand new 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home...I'm not complaining.
so on March 10th we will be driving from Williams Lake to Lethbridge...not all in one day of course.
We are all so excited about this change. Although we will miss all our friends here, we are excited to start something new. In a place that has a thriving economy, tons of opportunities, beautiful schools, and amazing shopping and only 2 hours from Calgary.
The weather will be warmer, the outlook will be brighter and we know that this is the right move for our family.
I can't wait to landscape that yard and put our own personal touch on it...I may need some of Grampa's help though. Did I mention the 5 bedrooms? extra room for visitors :)

I don't expect you to see this for a while, but congrats on your move! Looks like a great house---and you have really mixed things up with the new location, suburbs, etc. Boy, how lucky and blessed you were that your house sold so quickly!! I am starting to feel that I need to move, but our housing market is the Pits, so I don't know...
Will keep tabs on your blog to see how you settle in.
