Many thanks to everyone who helped us move in!! It went really smoothly and we're really grateful for the help that we had. We are still getting settled properly, having an exciting baby makes moving in a little challenging :)
the only thing that is frustrating so far is the laundry room... it is in the garage! originally the laundry was in the kitchen, but the landlord converted it to a computer nook, but we are using it for a craft nook. so it is kinda bittersweet. basicaly  laundry hasnt really been getting done lately, kinda out of sight out of mind thing(= and who knows how much will get done when it is 30 degrees in there!
The garage is still a disaster and that is why we have decided to sell it... well what is in it anyway. this saturday we are having a "family" garage sale. meaning our family that lives in vancouver is also bring their unwantables for us to sell. of course we are charging them a small percentage of their earnings(= ok not really, but hopefully the day will be nice and we will get rid of most things, if not we will just take it to value village or a shelter. this neighborhood seems to be a good one for garage sales... and our road leads to most others in this area.
pics will be up soon, as soon as the house looks half way descent.
