Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in Winnipeg

There is lots to be thankful for. We have a great family who are supportive of us on our crazy journey and our kids who just go with the flow and all our friends who will help and push us all along at the drop of a hat. We are so lucky.

I want to give a big thanks to all my friends who supported me in my fund raiser for the Children's Hospital in Ottawa(CHEO). I raised $5ooo. I was really happy how it turned out and I have learned lots about fundraising. The hair is growing back. It will take a while to grow it out again. It is literally wash and go.


So for those of you that don't know about our journey, we have decided to move to Costa Rica and invest in some rental properties too. We will be building a house out there and the plan is to go out there next fall. So we sold all of our possessions in Ottawa except the house which is still on the market and moved in with my parents in Winnipeg. The transition has been smooth and we are all enjoying being with all the family.

We have been doing some renovations in my parents place. They have a beautiful house on a lake and they don't plan on moving but it needed some TLC since nothing has be done for almost 20 years. This has kept us busy and learning Spanish takes time..... Kyle and I also got a gym membership at the University. Since we were both registered for Spanish there, we were considered students so we got the student rate. They have the pool there and squash courts and a full gym and track. What more could we ask for!!

We are heading down to Costa Rica at the end of the month with my parents to check it out. It is still the rainy season so if we can handle the crappy weather we can survive there. It is exciting and I am looking forward to going down. Matthew will stay with his cousin for a week here in Winnipeg as they go to the same school. Andrew and Natalie will stay with Kyle's parents for the week.

Will post more after our trip with lots of pictures. Check back again then.
