home for a bit

We've been in Nova Scotia for the Xmas holidays, and everyone has been asking us when we're moving back. For Christmas we received not one but two road atlases for North America, and fold-flat origami-ish dishes to take with us when we're on the road.

More exciting news - we'll have lots of furniture to look forward to when we finally move here. Mark's mom is going to be moving into her new husband's house when they've finished renovating it, and of course two complete sets of home furnishings are not going to fit into his little bungalow - especially since Deb's house is bigger than his to begin with and so could fit more stuff into it! So we'll likely pay her to store her extra stuff for us and grab it when we arrive (unless the new place is not renovated before we get back).

I'll have to make a decision soon about when to quit work. We'll look at our savings and decide if we're close enough yet that I can temp...but perhaps I'll have to work through one last tax season at the accounting firm if I can stand it. The money is better than temping would be, and really there's an end in sight. We'll see.

All of a sudden we can start making concrete preparations. Weird!!

Anyway.
