What's been going on...

Fall's officially here and such beautiful colors all around! I have to say I do enjoy fall when it's not raining, windy and miserable. When the sun shines it's so nice to go for a walk through the forest and enjoy the beautiful colors.

On another note, we are still here in Canada. Dan and I were expecting to be in Australia by now but of course these types of things tend to take longer than expected (good ol' government paperwork:). But on a good note, I don't believe we'll be waiting for much longer. There was a mix up with all of my medical documents which has made us wait that much longer, but a few phone calls and a lot of stressin' we managed to sort it out and they're now in our case worker's hands and she can finalize the visa application soon. :) We're hoping!

We had a busy week last week including two garage sales and moving into my mum's new place. We managed to get rid of the majority of our stuff in the garage sale, the rest was donated to the salvation army. So nice to be rid of it all and not have to keep lugging it all around! The move was pretty easy as we didn't have too much stuff, two truck loads and a couple of hours and we were in. It's nice to be spending time with mum and my brother (he's living here as well while he goes back to school) before we go. Plus it helps on the car side of things as Dan and I are car-less and both my mum and brother have a car we are able to borrow.

So you could say that we're pretty much ready to get up and go as soon as this application's been finalized. There are a few last minute loose ends to tie up and can't do them until we know the date of our flight. So we just sit back, relax and wait (and hopefully not too much longer!).

So we don't have a car here in Canada as you know, but we do have one waiting for us in Australia. It's a Holden Gemini '84 with only 82000 km's! You could say it's a Sunday driven car. And of course Dan's going to be putting his spin on it ie; big fancy tires. So cute and I love it, although it will be interesting learning to drive on the opposite side of the road. Wish me luck! It's going to be like learning to drive all over again.

Well, that's it for now. Keep you all posted about our migration application. Thinking of you all. xxx

Here's Humphree!
