Rental house photos

I should have googled our new rental house's address earlier because I just found some nice photos of it. It looks very cozy despite us not having seen it in person! The realtor told me the old fireplace works so it will be nice to use in winter for ambiance. I'll arrive in Regina on Oct. 25 to pick up our 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring, register and insure it. Other errands to do that day are meet the realtor, get the house keys, ensure utilities are hooked up & buy some groceries. I'll also need to buy an air bed and wait for the movers to arrive. They're supposed to arrive between Oct. 25 and 27. Darcy and SK will arrive on Oct. 28 so hopefully I will have had time to assemble the new crib and assuming the movers have come by then.

We're selling most of our household items to friends in Abu Dhabi. They are moving into a large villa and need a lot of things. So the transfer will be on Oct. 1 and we'll stay with them for 3 weeks. My company will put us in a hotel for our last three nights in Abu Dhabi (Oct. 20-22). Then we fly to Canada on the 23! But there are still many things to do before then...

New video of Sophia and moving update

Check out the latest video of Sophia. She is darling and is much cuter in person. We managed to find a house to rent for a year. We were able to get a screen shot of it (or see photo below). The realtor says that we could move to another house if we don't like thus one. Despite not having seen it we like the area from using Google Earth. I drove around the area and it's close to my new job at the university and Wascana Park. It has three bedrooms, one bathroom, a wood burning fireplace and an unfinished basement. It's had a lot of renovations done in the last few years. 





We're on track to depart Abu Dhabi on October 23. There's still so much to do including securing movers in Abu Dhabi and Edmonton to get our belongings to Regina. Oh yeah, I start my new job Novembet 1! I'm really looking forward to this transition in my career.
