Spent this weekend finishing off the unpacking and cleaning and finally got around to taking some photos of the new place.

The move was, a little tiring to say the least. We took ownership on Wednesday and then spent Thursday and Friday finishing off the packing and getting in as much cleaning as we could. Friday night we moved a load of huge awkward stuff in 13 cm of wet snow and had some fun with a king mattress that just wouldn't fit up the stairs. (until we realized it could be bent) Saturday was actually quite beautiful after the snow and we had a pile of friends and family show up to help out with the big move that was all over in about three hours. All said the big move day was actually the easiest of the three. Sunday it was back to the old place to clean which we weren't nearly as well prepared for as we were for the moving. 7 hours, one brutal inspection, and one flat tire later, we were out and done with almost all of our damage deposit. Would have been a joyous moment were it not for the flat tire on the drive back.

Setting in great and loving the new place. Lots of space, sunshine, walking trails on all sides, a fireplace, and most of all quiet. We've been living right on top of traffic for almost 10 years, now we can't tell a difference if the windows are opened or closed.

Back from a few nights at a great beachside cottage, just uploaded some photos from the trip, as well as some from a little b-day gathering for the Mrs last weekend.

Some of the highlights:
