It has been one week now since I arrived here in Okotoks, Alberta. It ended up being quite stressful the day we planned to pack up the truck and move...mostly because our booking was LOST and they didn't have a truck for us!! Oh yes, it was awful. We had no choice but to accept what happened and wait until Monday to get another truck. Meanwhile, Matt and his dad were flying out from Calgary Friday morning thinking there was a packed up truck ready for them to drive...but there WASN'T, so we cancelled Matt's dad's flight because his work schedule could not be changed. Therefore, Matt lost his 39 hour driving partner!
We packed up the truck on Monday morning with some fabulous family&friends of ours who helped us out in a huge time of need. Thank you. I dont know how my dad managed to fit all our stuff into that truck, it was so packed you could just close the door:) haha! you are a master mind Dad! Luckily, Matt's best friend, Brady, was able to fly out from Calgary Monday morning (thanks to Matt's parents:)) and drive with Matt to Alberta! We owe Brady BIG time:) Thanks again! Matt and Brady arrived safely in something like 31 hours...the longest they stopped was for 10 minutes apparently. They are crazy! One slept while one drove. They made record time that's for sure. All i care about is that they are home safe and sound now. So back home in Ottawa i had to extend my stay by a week aswell as Ammo's, so the flights got changed. Christine couldn't fly with me because she had to work, which was understandable. I was given a whole row to myself with Parks, so we had a great flight! Once we got Ammo on his flight (second attempt) he was fine. First time he got rejected cuz his kennel was too big for the plane! haha! I can laugh about it now. He got to Alberta safely...he was a bit squished in a smaller kennel, but survived:)
So now we are here living in Matt's parents old/sold house until the end of June. It is going great, now we start house hunting...
