Well we are back from our trip; I apologize for not being
more in touch like I had planned. We decided against taking the laptop because
well, truth be told we really didn’t have room for it! Because we will be
moving down to North Carolina and won’t be in Saskatchewan as long as we
thought, it made sense to take some of our winter stuff down to North Carolina
and leave it at friends of ours to limit the load on the way back! It was hard
to part with some of my stuff I’m not going to lie but in the end it made
sense, especially considering the fact that Jason may be here packing up on his
own to head back depending on how things play out!
We really had a great “vacation” if that’s what you want to
call it! Really for the most part we were super busy so the time actually flew
by! We have decided that on our next trip, which we have officially booked for
July 11th until the 21st, which we will not be taking the
same flight as flying that early and having to drive a long distance to get
there just didn’t work out!
If you read my blog the night before we left you are aware
of the maintenance issue we had the night before leaving (leaking roof), so
unfortunately that night I managed to get no sleep at all! I was up, dressed
and drinking coffee on the couch at 1:30am waiting for Jason to get up! We left
our apartment at 2:00am and although we figured there would be no traffic we didn’t
really account for the bad weather we were about to encounter. Our whole drive
the wind and rain was HORRIFIC, it added quite a bit of time to our trip that
we didn’t exactly account for. By the time we got to the airport we parked the
truck in long term parking, checked in and had enough time to grab a quick bite
to eat before boarding. Unfortunately for some odd reason I was suffering from
some pretty severe heart burn, I swear I have had that stuff maybe 5 times in
my whole life… thankfully because that stuff is HORRID!
Our flight was pretty uneventful; it just felt long having
had no sleep! We landed in Toronto on time and got our bags before entering the
heat wave! Good lord when you haven’t had much heat in awhile when that
humidity hits you it’s like a wall! Truthfully at this point I was so tired I
felt quite sick and the heat just wasn’t helping my situation! When we arrived
I had a nice little nap before getting out and visiting, Jason however couldn’t
sleep probably knowing that my brother was home from work and headed over! That
night Jason, my dad and brother headed North for a boys weekend while us girls
were hanging around the city to indulge in some much needed city life!
Monday morning Jason and I were up and on the road by 5am on
our way to Raleigh! We knew it was going to be a long day of driving but it was
probably the best trip we’ve ever had down there! We didn’t hit any traffic at
all and truth be told the weather was great, naturally as we got more south the
humidity was a little more drastic but we couldn’t have asked for better
travel! We had little time in the area so we wanted to make the most of it. We
went to the home site first and when we arrived to see that they were already
breaking ground and flagging the lot was so exciting!
Our time in Raleigh was mostly spent doing things to get
ready for the house; we did manage to get in a little American shopping which
was great! Good lord how I miss Target! After all our house excitement Tuesday
night we headed down to see the Seavey’s and meet miss Amelia for the first
time! We had a really great visit before heading back to Raleigh VERY early
Thursday morning to meet with the contractor before heading back to Toronto!
Unfortunately our drive back wasn’t so stellar; we
encountered rain and fog pretty much the entire drive and all that fabulous
expected traffic through Virginia and Washington DC was in full force! Having
spent more time with the contractor than expected and the miserable weather we didn’t
get back to Toronto until almost 11:00pm!
Friday the guys headed back north and my weekend in the city
was less eventful than the last but really nice! Our flight went out Sunday
night at 6:50pm so we went a little early with Pearson being such a large
airport we didn’t want to risk long lines! We made it back to Regina later than
expected and drove back to Estevan! The last two day have been basically
getting back in the swing of things, unpacking, cleaning up, and catching up on
all the things you miss while away!
I promise now to be back on my blogging game, I know I have
a lot to make up for! Keep an eye out for some great new blogs this week
though, just because I wasn’t posting doesn’t mean I wasn’t writing!
Hope everyone is having a great week!
