Moving this Sunday


The packing has started, with boxes piling up in our tiny living room! We've enjoyed warm weather this week - it's basically the same as Brisbane from what we've heard. Tomorrow we are borrowing a car as I have another midwife's appointment, and we are heading out early to Real Canadian Superstore (like Pick 'n Pay Hypermarket) to stock up on cheaper groceries and some supplies for our new place. Today Nathan bought a second hand bedroom suite so it's good to know we have something to sleep on!
Less than 50 sleeps til my due date (anticipation is growing along with my belly ;) ), and also counting down to seeing Nathan's mum and my parents in late July and August.

Warm weather and new apartment

Well the weather is warming up - today it reached 18 degrees C near the water, but with the humidity it felt more like 25 degrees - absolutely beautiful! Tomorrow is the start of a long weekend for Victoria Day. Thankfully I (Mareesa) got to spend some time outdoors for PE. I had to wear a hat because yesterday I got sunburnt. We don't even own any sunscreen yet because we didn't think we'd ever need it! Tomorrow afternoon we are looking forward to a bbq with Regent people, and basically spending time outdoors. Nathan has been working casually as a cleaner in our apartment block which has been good, as well as studying for his New Testament Midterm exam (next Thursday).

We have a new place to live, and are moving on June 1st. We are moving into university family accommodation less than a kilometer away, but the new place is a 2 bed townhouse (double the current size of our 1 bed apartment). God has been providing us with furniture for the new place as it is unfurnished. We are really excited about the move, and are looking forward to having a place for the baby, and space to entertain.

Only 60 days to go til Mareesa's due date, less than two months! Yes we are definitely counting down =) Can't wait to meet our little bub!
